Laravel API boilerplate 🚀

An awesome boilerplate for your next Laravel 9 based API. It's only goal is to simply kick-start your API development and provide you with some of the best practices when building amazing and scalable REST APIs 🔥

Features 🍭

REST API Best Practices

We baked in all the best REST API practices in terms of structuring your API, naming conversations, HTTP methods, responses and optimizations

Concrete examples

We all like to learn by examples and that's why the boilerplate comes with a concrete example that include everything from folder structure, routes to naming controllers

Scaffolding Artisan command

Tired of manually creating controllers, resources, test and form requests each time for new API endpoints. We were too. That's why we added a command that does all of that for you. Just run php artisan treblle:make and you get everything you need in a second

Built-in versioning

Building a versioning system that scales is always hard and that's why we built in a robust versioning system that is easy to use and can grow with the project

Single responsibility controllers

The boilerplate uses single responsibility controllers that make it painfully obvious what's going on and can be used with different versions

Models, migrations and factories

We built two tables Users and Posts and defined everything you might need on a database and model level

Sanctum authentication

Built in Laravel Sanctum authentication included in the boilerplate.

Magical UUID trait

Want to use UUIDs but find it to much work just use our built in InteractsWithUuid trait and have fun with UUIDs

Spawn a new user quickly

Easily create a new user without messing around with database clients or CRUD systems by using our custom command php artisan user:create

Treblle built-in

We added an awesome Laravel package called Treblle. Out of the box Treblle gives you: real-time API monitoring, automatically generated and updated documentation, error tracking and logging, API analytics, quality scoring and much more.
