Creating a Laravel API

[@joshstancombe2535]

Thanks for the video! For anyone struggling with an error of "Target class [PostController] does not exist" (or similar), you will need to update the 'Route::resource' line to be: "Route::resource('posts', 'App\Http\Controllers\PostController');" In later versions of Laravel, you have to use the Fully Qualified Class Name for your Controllers when referring to them in your routes when not using the namespace prefixing. 👍

I am now starting my very first Laravel project which is heavily API based -- This tutorial is invaluable, an absolute golden find!!! Thank you.

[@GuzzX8]

I have been writing my PHP Rest API without framework like Laravel all this time, and I think I should start to use Laravel sooner or later, Then I found this easy-to-understand-and-follow tutorial that get me started learning how to use Laravel, thanks Chris. I hope you make other sessions going deeper in Laravel.

[@jamlizzy101]

You could shorten creating model, API controller and migration more in the command like this: *php artisan make:model Post -cma*

[@joseramonbellido3516]

35:52 For Insomnia/Postman updating operation, you must use POST method and include in the body a key named "_method" with "PUT" as value.

[@samiulsalehin2831]

Wow, this is really great. Do sessions like this more often.

[@alpachino468]

What an awesome tutorial, thank you. I personally don't mind you trawling through the official docs; one can't possibly be expected to remember everything, and it's a good habit to get into. Thanks Chris and Digital Ocean :)

[@TylerJusCodes]

what folder did he install the laravel on that he was able to run the my-super-duper-api.test?

[@DigitalOcean]

"I used Laravel Valet to create a folder that will be served from .test. Here's the Vapor docs laravel.com/docs/9.x/valet" - Chris

[@JonibekJ]

What a Great Content!! 😀 Please, make videos going deeper on laravel api. 🙏🙏

[@jkbullitt8986]

Chris on Code - Kudos as always bro!!

[@fitbouncer6795]

[@DigitalOcean]

Based on what you've described, it looks like you're using tools that are outside the scope of the tutorial. So unfortunately, we can't advice on this particular problem. But always reach out if you have questions and we'll see what we can do :)

[@fitbouncer6795]

No, I hadn't using any outside tool, I just followed what you have shown

[@cholzdelrosario]

Watch this twice , I hade to do codes then notes plus codes to not forget the syntax . haha I don't like searching the documentation without knowing the keywords. Thanks for the great content! :)

[@mohamedabdelhalim9892]

As a backend developer i gotta prepare such APIs for the front end and mobile developers to access the database right?

[@londonboy3501]

Indeed!

[@Shogoeu]

What about Lumen? Isn't it better to use that for APIs?

[@ylmaz10]

thanks bro, good video for laravel lovers

[@kendallhayes4917]

Does this video include jwt auth or unique API keys

[@gunarcom]

I didn't know what I was missing until I installed the vs-code icons extension. Wowee it's easier to navigate.

[@Ayoub_Himself]

May I ask what color scheme is that?

[@MrL22]

Thank you for this great tutorial. My only question would be: With large amounts of data being returned through the API. How would you go about managing pagination, passing a "p" or "page" integer and where or how would this be handled? I may have answered my own question but would it be that the function index returns 20 results by default but you use Eloquent skip() if "p" is set in the request?

[@HassanAbuBakar]

HATEOAS might help

[@Toozh]

Create tutorial, exactly what I was looking for. My update request worked fine in the PostController, and I just followed you :)

[@chocinspired]

Whats the best advice to scale well and load balance in Laravel.Great video.

[@samueltorres2485]

For fillable, do you always have to put every column? I know its for mass assignment but what does that mean exactly? How do you know which columns you list in the fillable property?

[@hijenelkhalifi9198]

if you are going to use validation , and only use validated data , than you can enable mass assignment globally ,, we identify the fillable fields so no one would add a variable to our request which we dont want to change ( for example role , status etc .. )

[@kalaiselvi-ch2sf]

20:10 you put like "use App\Post" In that App means what? And this migrate command gives error as not found. Please help me

[@devideeze7878]

did you solve this?

[@shuttereff3ct593]

What a time to learn, thank you!

[@meghak8212]

Thank you so much for making such a nice vedio .

[@willian.schenkel]

Awesome, Laravel facilitates our life! btw, what is your vscode theme?

[@seikosantana2313]

Why don't we have autocomplete for ::create?

[@DigitalOcean]

It seems that Chris' text editor didn't do it for some reason on that one.

[@bhoomivaghasiya2794]

When I do 'php artisan migrate' I get this 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost error. I am using laravel 4.1.1. Please help me.

[@dhanushd232]

change DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD in env file

[@djnkuli]

This is awesome thank you for bringing me back to Laravel!!!!!

[@baranbahari1441]

thanks for the tutorial, I was wondering what is the tool you're using to view your api-name.test in the browser, cause I was not able to find it by googling.

[@devlopes102]

Conteúdo muito bom me ajudou muito, um salve aqui do Brasil.

[@Akosiyawin]

Why is your VSCode showing some Intellisense for laravel, whilst mine is not haha.

[@DigitalOcean]

Hey Yayin! Try installing the PHP Intelephense extension: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bmewburn.vscode-intelephense-client

[@mihiranchathuranga8675]

Is this a Laravel rest api tutorial.

[@mixtureworld7326]

great tutorial man, I like this video do more stuff. cheers

[@Roter_Wolf]

Great video. It would be even better if there were timestamps

[@keanallen]

awesome lecturer. very clear.

[@deepakjerry5030]

Wow that's good content

[@manish-ghimire]

22:58 DogController :D Anyway, nice video. Thx.

[@AmbientResonanceSounds]

Great video and great quality content, I however how one request: Please speak a little slower and also be slower when interacting with your screen. You are very fast between switching windows and files etc... It's hard to follow and remember when it's so fast.

[@yema8319]

Is this still good in 2021?

[@DigitalOcean]

Yes! Laravel has done a great job at not breaking its core functionality in years.

[@sadiaarooj7283]

what an amazing tutorial

[@mr_don_key]

Why do you want this to be a slug and not id? i mean the ID never changes, the slug can.. making links to it (by favorites e.g.) go bust.

[@sir_brian_d]

making videos on laravel to try and get forge users to switch to app platform. thanks but id rather my money go towards supporting the framework's developement instead of leeching from it.

[@davidatebisun]

This tutorial blew my mind. it so great

[@JavierMartinez00]

was it? 48 minutes in....can't even get his route defined.

[@jamols09]

Do a tutorial for Laravel with Dingo api

[@talktosunnysethi]

It's Cool !

[@dennymactavish307]

nice

[@SYR2025]

big thanks

[@platoosom]

Thank you.

[@khanhpd3129]

thanksss

[@iamchets]

Crud has nothing to do with a restful api..

[@softhitech]

very dragged and lots of things are irrelevant as I was looking for a quick solution but i think you need to plan what steps should be followed to create a long video like this.

[@mahmoudmohamed-oo3xs]

Wow, this is really great. Do sessions like this more often.
