Generates boilerplate for lumen REST API: migration, controller, model, request and route. Generator creates Eloquent Models and use them in generated controllers. If you want to use this package you are encouraged to uncomment $app->withEloquent in bootstrap/app.php.

Installation

``` composer require --dev asmiarowski/lumen-api-generator ```

Add this to app\Providers\AppServiceProvider inside register() method:

``` if ($this->app->environment() == 'local') { $this->app->register('Smiarowski\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider'); } ```

Uncomment in `bootstrap/app.php`

``` $app->register(App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class); ``` For POST / PUT data to work you either have to send your request with `Accept: application/json` header or set up json responses globally in app/Http/Requests/Request.php like so: ``` /** * Overwrite Laravel Request method because API is always returning json * @return bool */ public function wantsJson() { return true; } ```
