Main Features

Document your API

apidoc -i App/Http/Controller/Api/v1 -o public/apidoc

By default lumen does't support the useful laravel/artisan generators and using this extension we can use this comands executing a "dev inclusive" composer install.

Test:

FAQ

About JWT

There is no session and auth guard in lumen 5.2, so attention config/auth.php. Also user model must implement Tymon\JWTAuth\Contracts\JWTSubject

How to use mail
  • composer require illuminate/mail and guzzlehttp/guzzle
  • register email service in bootstrap/app.php or some provider
  • add mail.php services.php in config, just copy them from laravel

How to use transformer

transformer is a layer help you format you resource and their relationship.

maybe you can knowstand with this links:

transformer data serizlizer

dingo/api use Fractal to transformer resouses,fractal provider 3 serializer,Array,DataArray,JsonApi.more details at here http://fractal.thephpleague.com/serializers/。DataArray is default.You can set your own serizlizer like this:

see bootstrap/app.php $app['Dingo\Api\Transformer\Factory']->setAdapter(function ($app) { $fractal = new League\Fractal\Manager; // $serializer = new League\Fractal\Serializer\JsonApiSerializer(); $serializer = new League\Fractal\Serializer\ArraySerializer(); // $serializer = new App\Serializers\NoDataArraySerializer(); $fractal->setSerializer($serializer);, return new Dingo\Api\Transformer\Adapter\Fractal($fractal); });

I think default DataArray is good enough.
