Restful API in Lumen — Homestead of Laravel Part — 02

In this tutorial, we’ll implement a simple Restful API. This API based on create , update , delete car Information.

Next, uncomment the following lines in bootstrap/app.php

$app->withFacades();

$app->withEloquent();

Make migration file for cars table

php artisan make:migration create_table_cars — create=cars

Go to the cars table migration file change this

Schema::create(‘cars’, function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments(‘id’);

$table->string(‘make’);

$table->string(‘model’);

$table->string(‘year’);

$table->timestamps();

});

Now run this command

php artisan migrate

Create model name Car.php and add following code

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Car extends Model

{

protected $fillable = [‘make’, ‘model’, ‘year’];

} ?>

Now create controller name CarController.php Add following code

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Car;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class CarController extends Controller

{

public function createCar(Request $request)

{

$car = Car::create($request->all());

return response()->json($car);

}

public function updateCar(Request $request, $id)

{

$car = Car::find($id);

$car->make = $request->json(‘make’);

$car->model = $request->json(‘model’);

$car->year = $request->json(‘year’);

$car->save();

return response()->json($car);

}

public function deleteCar($id){

$car = Car::find($id);

$car->delete();

return response()->json(‘Removed successfully.’);

}

public function index()

{

$cars = Car::all();

return response()->json($cars);

}

?>

Go to the routes/web.php

$router->group([‘prefix’ => ‘api/v1’], function($router){

$router->post(‘car’,’CarController@createCar’);

$router->put(‘car/{id}’,’CarController@updateCar’);

$router->delete(‘car/{id}’,’CarController@deleteCar’);

$router->get(‘car’,’CarController@index’);

});

Open postman URL : http://localhost:8080/api/v1/car

Request : {“make”:”toyota”, “model”:”camry”, “year”:”2016"}
