In this section we will see rest api crud operation app using laravel 10. For this tutorial we will create simple but clean laravel 10 api crud using Request for validation, Resource for showing important & clean data.
Step 1: Install Laravel & Connect Database
Installing a fresh new laravel 10 application, so head over to the terminal, type the command, and create a new laravel app.
composer create-project laravel/laravel apicrud
Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password
Step 2: Create Model Request and Resource, Api Controller & route
Create Post Modal with migration
php artisan make:model Post -m
Create Post Request for validation
php artisan make:request StorePostRequest
Create Post Resource for show clean data
php artisan make:resource PostResource
Create Post Api controller
php artisan make:controller Api/PostController --model=Post

Run laravel 10 app
php artisan serve

Store Post data
http://localhost:8000/api/posts
laravel 10 rest api crud operation store
Update Post data
http://localhost:8000/api/posts/1
laravel 10 rest api crud operation update
