Why Choose the Laravel API Toolkit?

Consistent Responses, Less Hassle

The API Response feature simplifies generating consistent JSON responses. It provides a standardized format for your api responses:

{
  "message": "your resource successfully",
  "data": [
    ...
  ]
}

Pagination Done Right

Don't fuss over managing the number of results per page. The dynamic pagination feature adapts effortlessly to your needs, giving you control without complications.

$users = User::dynamicPaginate();

Simplified Filtering

Refine query results with simplicity. The powerful filtering system lets you filter, sort, search, and even include relationships with ease.

Car::useFilters()->get();

Simplify API Setup with the API Generator

The API Generator automates file setup, creating key files from migrations to controllers. Use one command to kickstart your API development.

php artisan api:generate ModelName --all

Schema Support

Enhance the API Generator with schema support, allowing you to define your database table structure directly from the command line. Generate factory model migrations, requests, and data based on this schema.

php artisan api:generate ModelName "column1:string|column2:integer|column3:datetime"

Logic Made Clear

Tackle complex business logic with Actions. These gems follow the command pattern, boosting readability and maintenance for your code.

app(CreateCar::class)->execute($data);

Media? Handled.

Handle file uploads and deletions like a pro. The Media Helper streamlines media management, leaving you with clean and organized file handling.

$filePath = MediaHelper::uploadFile($file, $path);

Enums for Clarity

The Enum class provides a way to work with enumerations, eliminating hardcoded values in your code:

namespace App\Enums;

class UserTypes extends Enum
{
    public const ADMIN = 'admin';
    public const STUDENT = 'student';
}
