I'm trying to set up an e-commerce with a friend and we're thinking of putting together an api rest to access the database and creating a website and an application to consume it. As this is an e-commerce, I would like to know if the Rest APIs serve to register and log a user into the system.
Thanks in advance.
First, start the project:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel sua-api
Enter the folder:
cd sua-api
After this, you will need to create the authentication, so use the command:
php artisan make:auth
This command will create a series of files .blade resourcer/view/auth and resources/view/auth/passwords , will create another Controller and Model that will automate your login process, also, will add inside your api.php file % two lines:
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
Now you will need to place your routes within a middleware , this file should have the following route configuration:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
Route::get('/', function () {
return redirect()->to('http://127.0.0.1:8000/login');
});
Auth::routes();
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
});
In order to log in, you will need to have a table with the users and the memory key of the authentication (remember_token). To do this, use the command:
php artisan make:migration create_users_table
After that, open the migration that was generated in the database/migrations folder, and leave the up function as follows:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table)
{
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name', 32);
$table->string('username', 32);
$table->string('email', 320);
$table->string('password', 64);
$table->string('remember_token', 100)->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Run the migration:
php artisan migrate
And finally, start your project server:
php artisan serve
Now, go to:
https://127.0.0.8000/
You will be redirected to a default Laravel login page, on this page in the upper left corner you can register users, after registering, login, it should be redirected to Home Laravel as well .
From this, you can change all generated templates as you wish, and use the other functions.
To check if a user is logged in and allowed to execute functions in the methods created later use the second command in their models:
Auth::check()
You should answer true or false .
This should be enough to start your project.
