FAQPage Schema

How do I build a RESTful API with Laravel?▼

Build RESTful APIs in Laravel using routing to define endpoints, controllers to handle requests, Eloquent models for database interactions, and Sanctum or Passport for API token authentication. Laravel's routing system, validation middleware, and JSON response helpers enable clean, standards-compliant API development.

What's the best way to structure database migrations in Laravel?▼

Migrations in Laravel define schema changes as PHP classes with up() and down() methods. Use migrations to create tables, add columns, and manage relationships. Run migrations sequentially with `php artisan migrate` to keep your database schema version-controlled and reversible.

How do I define relationships between models using Eloquent?▼

Eloquent ORM lets you define relationships (one-to-many, many-to-many, has-many-through) as methods on your models. Relationships enable you to query associated data efficiently, load related records, and maintain referential integrity without manual SQL joins.

Can I use Laravel for both web applications and APIs?▼

Yes. Laravel handles web routing with controllers and views, and API routing with JSON responses and token authentication. The same framework supports traditional server-rendered pages and headless APIs, letting you build full-stack applications or separate backend services.

What authentication methods does Laravel provide for APIs?▼

Laravel provides Sanctum for SPA and mobile token authentication, and Passport for OAuth 2.0. Both issue API tokens for stateless authentication, support token expiration and scopes, and integrate with Laravel's built-in user model and guards.

How do I validate API requests in Laravel?▼

Define validation rules in controllers or dedicated FormRequest classes using Laravel's fluent rule builder. Validation runs automatically before reaching your controller action, returning structured error responses for invalid data.
