This is a sample project to show how you could write an API using Laravel 5.
There will be some minor differences, specially regarding downloaded packages, as I used the excellent Laravel Ide Helper to setup PhpStorm bindings and other features.
It's very simple to get the API up and running. First, create the database (and database
user if necessary) and add them to the .env
file.
DB_DATABASE=your_db_name
DB_USERNAME=your_db_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
Then install, migrate, seed, all that jazz:
composer install
php artisan migrate
php artisan db:seed
php artisan serve
The API will be running on localhost:8000
