How to install Laravel using composer
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
cd example-app
php artisan serveCreate View in Laravel
<!-- View stored in resources/views/home.blade.php -->
<html>
<body>
<h1>My Home Page {{ $name }}</h1>
</body>
</html>
<!-- Route stored in routes/web.php -->
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('greeting', ['name' => 'James']);
});Create model, controller and view in Laravel
Step 1: Create model and controller
php artisan make:controller HomeController --resource --model=HomeStep 2: Create View in Laravel
<!-- View stored in resources/views/home.blade.php -->
<html>
<body>
<h1>My Home Page {{ $name }}</h1>
</body>
</html>
Step 3: call controller using route and display view
<!-- Route stored in routes/web.php -->
Route::get('/home', 'App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@index');
or
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
Note: changing the RouteServiceProvider.php file in App/Providers/ path by uncommenting the code.
protected $namespace = ‘App\Http\Controllers’;
Create and Rest Api in Laravel
php artisan make:controller ApiControllerYou will find a new file named ApiController.php in the app\http\controllers directory. Next, we can add the following methods:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class ApiController extends Controller
{
public function sendResponse($result, $message)
{
$response = [
'success' => true,
'data' => $result,
'message' => $message,
];
return response()->json($response, 200);
}
/**
* return error response.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function sendError($error, $errorMessages = [], $code = 404)
{
$response = [
'success' => false,
'message' => $error,
];
if(!empty($errorMessages)){
$response['data'] = $errorMessages;
}
return response()->json($response, $code);
}
//
public function getList() {
/* $test = Test::get()->toJson(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
return response($tests, 200);*/
/* return response()->json([
"message" => "student record created"
], 201);*/
$data= array();
$data = DB::connection('default')->table('users')->where('id',$id)->get();
return $this->sendResponse($data, 'Successfully');
}
}
Proceed to the routes directory and open the api.php file and create the endpoints that will reference the methods created earlier in the ApiController
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
<!-- Route stored in routes/api.php -->
Route::get('getList', 'App\Http\Controllers\ApiController@getList');
or
Route::get('getList', 'ApiController@getList');Test Api using Postman
