API Driver for Laravel 8.0

An Eloquent model and query builder with support for Restful Api Server using the original Laravel API. This library extends the original Laravel classes, so it uses exactly the same methods. Supports relationships to other models with methods like hasMany, belongsTo, etc.

Works great with other Laravel instances.

Installation

---

Installation using composer:

composer require netbuild/apidriver

And add the service provider in config/app.php:

Netbuild\Apidriver\ApiDbServiceProvider::class

Configuration

---

Change your default database connection name in config/database.php:

'default' => 'api'

And add a new api server connection:

'api' => [
        'driver' => 'api',
]

Usage

---

Create new Model extend Api Eloquent Model:

use Netbuild\Apidriver\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
	protected $url 			= 'https://api.your_restful.url';
	protected $api_token		= 'YOUR_API_TOKEN';
	protected $table 		= 'REMOTE_MODEL';
}

Using the original Eloquent API:

$users = User::where('id', '<', 100)->take(3)->get();

or

$users = User::where('column_1', '=', 'your_term_1')->orWhere('column_1', '=', 'your_term_2')->take(3)->get();

or

$user = User::find(3);

or

$user->delete();
