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 about 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
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->longText('description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
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
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
$posts = Post::all();
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'posts' => $posts
]);
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
//
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(StorePostRequest $request)
{
$post = Post::create($request->all());
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => "Post Created successfully!",
'post' => $post
], 200);
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* @param \App\Models\Post $post
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show(Post $post)
{
//
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* @param \App\Models\Post $post
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function edit(Post $post)
{
//
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param \App\Models\Post $post
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(StorePostRequest $request, Post $post)
{
$post->update($request->all());
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => "Post Updated successfully!",
'post' => $post
], 200);
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* @param \App\Models\Post $post
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
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
{
/**
* Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
*
* @return bool
*/
public function authorize()
{
return true;
}
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* @return array
*/
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.
Make REST API AUTHENTICATION in LARAVEL 9 USING LARAVEL SANCTUM
Laravel Sanctum provides a featherweight authentication system for SPAs (single page applications), mobile applications, and simple, token based APIs.
Installation Steps
If you are not using LARAVEL 9 you need to install LARAVEL Sanctum Otherwise you can skip the installation step.
Step 1
Install via composer
composer require laravel/sanctum
Step 2
Publish the Sanctum Service Provider
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Sanctum\SanctumServiceProvider"
Step 3
Migrate The Database
php artisan migrate
USING SANCTUM IN LARAVEL
User HasApiTokens Trait in App\Models\User
In Order to use Sanctum we need to use HasApiTokens Trait Class in User Model.
User Model should look like.
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array<int, string>
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
*
* @var array<int, string>
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast.
*
* @var array<string, string>
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
}
API Authentication Routes
Create AuthController to handle all authentication realted to API
php artisan make:controller Api\\AuthController
In routes\api.php file update the API
Route::post('/auth/register', [AuthController::class, 'createUser']);
Route::post('/auth/login', [AuthController::class, 'loginUser']);
Now update AuthContoller with
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class AuthController extends Controller
{
/**
* Create User
* @param Request $request
* @return User
*/
public function createUser(Request $request)
{
try {
//Validated
$validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(),
[
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
if($validateUser->fails()){
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => 'validation error',
'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
], 401);
}
$user = User::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'email' => $request->email,
'password' => Hash::make($request->password)
]);
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => 'User Created Successfully',
'token' => $user->createToken("API TOKEN")->plainTextToken
], 200);
} catch (\Throwable $th) {
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => $th->getMessage()
], 500);
}
}
/**
* Login The User
* @param Request $request
* @return User
*/
public function loginUser(Request $request)
{
try {
$validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(),
[
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
if($validateUser->fails()){
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => 'validation error',
'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
], 401);
}
if(!Auth::attempt($request->only(['email', 'password']))){
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => 'Email & Password does not match with our record.',
], 401);
}
$user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => 'User Logged In Successfully',
'token' => $user->createToken("API TOKEN")->plainTextToken
], 200);
} catch (\Throwable $th) {
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => $th->getMessage()
], 500);
}
}
}
Protect API With Authentication we need to use auth:sanctum middleware.
Route::apiResource('posts', PostController::class)->middleware('auth:sanctum');
Here are the results.
