Am just starting out with laravel and i wanted to create a simple rest api that accepts json data and returns a json data but didnt seem to know how to do this. I was wondering if anyone could help. below is what i want my controller to look like or do:
class MembersController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
//return all members as json
}
/**
* Show the form for creating a new resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function create()
{
//leave this as empty
}
/**
* Store a newly created resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request)
{
// get user values as json
// save value to database
// return user data as json.
}
/**
* Display the specified resource.
*
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function show($id)
{
//return single user dat as json
}
/**
* Show the form for editing the specified resource.
*
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function edit($id)
{
//leave as empty
}
/**
* Update the specified resource in storage.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
//update value and return as json
}
/**
* Remove the specified resource from storage.
*
* @param int $id
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function destroy($id)
{
//delete value and also return deleted value as json
}
}
How can i achieve the above using laravel. Mostly 5.5 or 5.4. I dont seem to find anything that could be of help anywhere.
