README

Allay is a Laravel helper to easily create restful API's. It's designed based on the idea that the resource is responsible for it's own actions. Each of those restful actions are enabled by a boilerplate controller that works for all resources. Every part of Allay is customizable and extendable, making it usable for a lot of usecases.

Requirements

Allay will work with the following requirements.

• PHP 7.0+
• Laravel 5.5+

Install

Composer

Composer is a nice tool to download and manage external packages within PHP. If you still live in the dark ages, take a look at their site.

You can add Allay within the require section of your composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "bycedric/allay": "0.3.*"
    }
}

Or execute the following code inside your CLI.

$ composer require bycedric/allay

Laravel

After the composer installation, we need to add it to Laravel. This can be done by adding the following code to the /config/app.php.

'providers' => [

    /*
     * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
     */
    ...,

    /*
     * Application Service Providers...
     */
    ...,

    ByCedric\Allay\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,

]

Please add the service provider to the bottom of the providers list. If you don't, routes cannot be overwritten.

Lumen

You can also get Allay working on Lumen, a light-weight and blazing fast Laravel version. This can be done by adding the following code to the /bootstrap/app.php.

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Service Providers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
*/

$app->register(ByCedric\Allay\Providers\LumenServiceProvider::class);
