Make REST API in LARAVEL 9
Today I am going to explain how you can make REST API in Laravel 9. In this video, i am going to explain CRUD Operation using REST API.
Laravel 9 Installation.
After Installing Laravel 9 we will open the code in Editor.
Step - 1
Create a Model Post with migration.
php artisan make:model Post -m
Next Update The Migration file at database/migrations folder.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
return new class extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->longText('description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
}
};
Next update the Model fillable property in app/models/Post.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = ['title', 'description'];
}
Step - 2
Now Generate controller by running command
php artisan make:controller Api\\PostController --model=Post
this command will generate the file in app/Http/Controllers/Api/PostController.php
Open the file and update the code below.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests\StorePostRequest;
use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class PostController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::all();
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'posts' => $posts
]);
}
public function create()
{
}
public function store(StorePostRequest $request)
{
$post = Post::create($request->all());
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => "Post Created successfully!",
'post' => $post
], 200);
}
public function show(Post $post)
{
}
public function edit(Post $post)
{
}
public function update(StorePostRequest $request, Post $post)
{
$post->update($request->all());
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => "Post Updated successfully!",
'post' => $post
], 200);
}
public function destroy(Post $post)
{
$post->delete();
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => "Post Deleted successfully!",
], 200);
}
}
Step - 3
Now Let's create the request to validate the data by running command below.
php artisan make:request StorePostRequest
Now open file from app/Http/Requests/StorePostRequest.php and update the code below.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
class StorePostRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
public function rules()
{
return [
"title" => "required|max:70",
"description" => "required"
];
}
}
Step - 4
Now create the API routes in routes/api.php
<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\Api\PostController;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::apiResource('posts', PostController::class);
Now serve the application and open the URL in postman.
The results will look like.
