Elorest

Laravel eloquent REST API package

With it we can query the restapi using the laravel eloquent commands (methods & params)

Borrow the laravel eloquent syntax (methodes & params), including laravel pagination.

please check the laravel's eloquent documentation https://laravel.com/docs

Example queries :

if the model namespace is "App\Models"
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?leftJoin=comments,posts.id,comments.post_id&whereIn=category_id,[2,4,5]&select=*&get=
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?join[]=authors,posts.id,authors.author_id&join[]=comments,posts.id,comments.post_id&whereIn=category_id,[2,4,5]&select=posts.*,authors.name as author_name,comments.title as comment_title&get=
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with=author,comment&get=*
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with=author(where=name,like,%dandisy%),comment&get=*
multiple first level of nested closure deep
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with=author(where=name,like,%dandisy%)(where=nick,like,%dandisy%),comment&get=*
the second level of nested closure deep
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with=author(with=city(where=name,like,%jakarta%)),comment&get=*
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with[]=author(where=name,like,%dandisy%)&with[]=comment(where=title,like,%test%)&get=*
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?paginate=10&page=1

if the model namespace only "App"
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/User?paginate=10&page=1

for sortBy by related field
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with=author(with=city(where=name,like,%jakarta%)),comment&get=*&sortBy=category.0.name
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/Models/Post?&with=author(with=city(where=name,like,%jakarta%)),comment&get=*&sortByDesc=category.0.name

for select specific field/s in clousure of "with" command don't forget to include the foreign key to resolve the relationship, otherwise you'll get zero results for your relation
http://localhost/gamify/public/api/elorest/Models/Character?with[]=categories.category&with[]=datasources(select=id,model_id,value)&with[]=user&get=*

upload file
https://your-domain-name/api/elorest/upload

whereHas for where query in related clousure
http://localhost/online-shop/public/api/elorest/Models/Merchant?with[]=cartItems.product.category&with[]=cartItems(where=created_by,1)&whereHas=cartItems(where=created_by,1)&get=*

whereRaw
http://localhost/online-shop/public/api/elorest/Models/Merchant?whereNotNull=label_id&whereRaw=find_in_set('3',label_id)&orWhereRaw=find_in_set('19',label_id)&get=*

Installation

composer require dandisy/elorest

Usage

Paste it (elorest route) to your laravel project (routes/api.php)

Elorest::routes();

or with middleware

Elorest::routes([
    'middleware' => ['auth:api', 'throttle:60,1'],
    // 'only' => ['post', 'put', 'patch', 'delete'],
    'except' => ['get']
]);

Exception handling

Using laravel errors handler (https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/errors)

Publish exception hendler class to your laravel webcore project

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Dandisy\Elorest\ElorestServiceProvider" --force

Authentication

Using laravel passport (https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/passport)

Authorization

Using laravel gates & policies (https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/authorization)

Create policy for each model

php artisan make:policy PostPolicy --model=Post

Register policies

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
    * The policy mappings for the application.
    *
    * @var array
    */
    protected $policies = [
        Post::class => PostPolicy::class,
    ];

    /**
    * Register any application authentication / authorization services.
    *
    * @return void
    */
    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerPolicies();

        //
    }
}

or use Policy Auto-Discovery

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;

Gate::guessPolicyNamesUsing(function ($modelClass) {
    // return policy class name...
});

Model

to prevent some field/s being set (for ignoring fields, not for authorization)

...

public static $elorestPreventSetOnCreate = [
    'user_id', 'phone', 'id_card',
];

public static $elorestPreventSetOnUpdate = [
    'user_id', 'id_card',
];

...

insert additional logic to the "Elorest" add this methods and property in your Model class if you need

...

/**
 * Elorest file fields
 *
 */
public static elorestFileFields = [
    'file_url', 'video_url'
]

/**
 * Elorest before
 *
 * @param Request $request
 */
public function elorestBefore($request) {
    // write your code here;
}

/**
 * Elorest append
 *
 * @param Post $post
 */
public function elorestAppend($post) {
    // write your code here;
}

/**
 * Elorest after
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @param Post $post
 */
public function elorestAfter($request, $post) {
    // write your code here;
}

...

Policy

to check user authorization

$check = false; // false first

...

return $user->id && $check || $user->is_admin;

to disable hidden field/s

public function viewAny(User $user, Model $data)
{
    ...

    if($user->id == $userId || $user->is_admin) {
        $data->elorestDisableHiddenProperty = true;
    }

    ...
}

Extensible

- create your classes inherit or implement from the Elorest artifacts
- override or create new methods
- register your route

Notes

add a public property "elorest = true or false" to the model class to enable or disable Elorest for that model
include the header Accept: application/json in the http request
for PUT/PATCH requests, use Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded or application/json and for updating file, use POST with request body containing _method = PUT or PATCH
