Installation
Development environment requirements :
Setting up your development environment on your local machine :
$ git clone https://github.com/guillaumebriday/laravel-blog.git
$ cd laravel-blog
$ cp .env.example .env
$ composer install
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
All following commands must be run inside the VM:
$ cd code
$ yarn install
$ artisan key:generate
$ artisan horizon:install
$ artisan telescope:install
$ artisan storage:link
Now you can access the application via http://localhost:8000.
There is no need to run php artisan serve
. PHP is already running in the dedicated virtual machine.
Before starting
You need to run the migrations with the seeds :
$ artisan migrate --seed
This will create a new user that you can use to sign in :
email: darthvader@deathstar.ds
password: 4nak1n
And then, compile the assets :
$ yarn dev # or yarn watch
Starting job for newsletter :
$ artisan tinker
> PrepareNewsletterSubscriptionEmail::dispatch();
Useful commands
Seeding the database :
$ artisan db:seed
Running tests :
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit --cache-result --order-by=defects --stop-on-defect
Running php-cs-fixer :
$ ./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --config=.php_cs --verbose --dry-run --diff
Generating backup :
$ artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Backup\BackupServiceProvider"
$ artisan backup:run
Generating fake data :
$ artisan db:seed --class=DevDatabaseSeeder
Discover package
$ artisan package:discover
In development environnement, rebuild the database :
$ artisan migrate:fresh --seed
Accessing the API
Clients can access to the REST API. API requests require authentication via token. You can create a new token in your user profile.
Then, you can use this token either as url parameter or in Authorization header :
# Url parameter
GET http://laravel-blog.app/api/v1/posts?api_token=your_private_token_here
# Authorization Header
curl --header "Authorization: Bearer your_private_token_here" http://laravel-blog.app/api/v1/posts
API are prefixed by api
and the API version number like so v1
.
Do not forget to set the X-Requested-With
header to XMLHttpRequest
. Otherwise, Laravel won't recognize the call as an AJAX request.
To list all the available routes for API :
$ artisan route:list --path=api
