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.

In this post, we’ll show you how to build a REST API with laravel 9. Before you can proceed with this tutorial, you need to install the latest version of laravel, and make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• PHP 8.0.2+
• MySql
• Composer

Laravel 9 is a full-stack web application framework with a robust and visually appealing design that is easy to use to create traditional web applications and modern web applications that expose REST APIs that could be consumed by front-end applications such as Angular, React or Vue.js.

Using a web framework as a basis and starting point for developing your application will allow you to focus on creating something really amazing while the foundation takes care of the low-level technicalities for you.

You can also use laravel 9 to build a REST API that can be consumed by a JavaScript client application.

Laravel 9 Installation.

After installing laravel9 we will open the code in Editor.

Step1: Create a new laravel 9 model

Open a new command line interface and run the following command from the project root folder to generate a product model with a migration file:

php artisan make:model Post -m

Next, open the migration file inside the database/migrations folder and update it as follows:

id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->longText('description');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
};

Following that, open the app/models/Post.php file and update the fillable array as follows:

Step 2: Create the REST API controller

After creating the model and migration file for products, let’s now create the controller. Head back to your command-line interface and run the following command:

php artisan make:controller Api\\PostController --model=Post

Next, open the app/Http/Controllers/Api/PostController.php file and update the code below

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: Request to validate data

Now Let’s create the request to validate the data by running the command below.

php artisan make:request StorePostRequest

Now open the file from app/Http/Requests/StorePostRequest.php and update the code below.

 "required|max:70",
            "description" => "required"
        ];
    }
}

Step 4: Create the REST API endpoints
