How to create complete Laravel rest api and and confusing with Laravel REST controller

Question

I am very new to Laravel, and now I am on my first Laravel project. Now I need to provide REST api for mobile. I followed REST resource controller documentation on Laravel website. But when I call my REST api, it is not returning any value.

How to complete rest api in Laravel? I am using Laravel 5.

My REST API server code follows.

"route"

Route::resource('/users','user_accessController');

"controller"

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Response;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\User;

class user_accessController extends Controller {

    public function index()
    {
        return Response::json(array('name'=>'wai yan'));
    }
}

Client code:

"using curl"

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, 'http://laravel.bbc:8080/users');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
    curl_exec($ch);

    $res = curl_close($ch);

What is wrong with my code? It is not returning any value.

Try using the full namespae for the route Route::resource('/users','App\Http\Controllers\user_accessController'); — oBo

BTW: you should be following naming convention. See how classes are named in Laravel. No class is named like yours. — Marcin Orlowski

Firstly you need to understand Laravel's naming convention.

StudlyCase for your controllers.

Use artisan command to generate resource controller

php artisan make:controller UserAccessController

Your route:

Route::resource('/users','UserAccessController');

"controller" - file name: UserAccessController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Response;
//use App\Http\Controllers\Controller; no need for this both files are in same namespace

use App\User;

class UserAccessController extends Controller {

    /**
    * Display a listing of the resource.
    *
    * @return Response
    */
    public function index()
    {
        return response()->json(['name' => 'wai yan']);
    }


}

Am using Laravel 5 with same code above and this is the output when I used curl command:

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET http://laravel.dev/users

I added this line in php . curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json','Content-Type: application/json')); . But it is not working .

are you running this code from same laravel project?

Wai Yan Hein Over a year ago

No . I am running from different project . So to consume it from different project , what should I do please ?

Emeka Mbah Over a year ago

If the different project is using PHP I do suggest you use GuzzleHttp for making requests as its has so many nice methods. guzzle.readthedocs.org/en/latest example you can do this: $client = new Client(); $response = $client->get('http://laravel.dev/users'); $json = $response->json(); The echo $json['name'] \\prints Wai yan

$chatToken = "put your API KEY";

header("Content-type: text / html; charset = utf-8");

$option = array (
    "body" => "Test posting Messages"
);

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://api.chatwork.com/v2/rooms/roomid/messages");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($option));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array ('X-ChatWorkToken:'. $chatToken));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($response);
