Setting up the Controller

php artisan controller:make ContactsController

	

$api->version('v1', function ($api) {
    $api->resource('users', 'App\Http\Controllers\Api\V1\UserController');
});

	

class UsersController extends BaseController {

	public function index() {}          // GET    /
	public function create() {}         // GET    /create
	public function store() {}          // POST   /
	public function show($id) {}        // GET    /1
	public function edit($id) {}        // GET    /1/edit
	public function update($id) {}      // PUT    /1
	public function destroy($id) {}     // DELETE /1

}

	

php artisan api:routes

	

Different drivers are available

Let's start with Basic authentication

	

	$api->version('v1', ['middleware' => 'api.auth'], function ($api) {
	    $api->resource('users', 'App\Http\Controllers\Api\V1\UserController');
	});

Now what about JWT ?

	

	$api->version('v1', ['middleware' => 'api.auth'], function ($api) {
	    $api->resource('users', 'App\Http\Controllers\Api\V1\UserController');
	});

	$api->version('v2', ['middleware' => 'api.auth', 'providers' => ['basic', 'jwt']], function ($api) {
	    $api->resource('users', 'App\Http\Controllers\Api\V1\UserController');
	});

	

Use the right codes for the right situation

There's three different trees: x, prs, and vnd. The standards tree you use will 
depend upon the project you're developing.

The unregistered tree (x) is primarily meant for local or private environments.
The personal tree (prs) is primarily meant for projects that are not distributed commerically.
The vendor tree (vnd) is primarily meant for projects that are publically available and distributed.
Subtypes using the personal or vendor trees are technically meant to register with the IANA.
You can configure this in your .env file.

API_STANDARDS_TREE=vnd
