Laravel API Development

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, launch in parallel:

fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing API patterns
fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify Laravel API docs via Context7
mcp__context7__query-docs - Check API Resources and Sanctum patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

Build RESTful APIs with Laravel using API Resources for response transformation and Sanctum for authentication.

Component	Purpose
Controllers	Handle requests, delegate to services
Form Requests	Validate input, authorize actions
API Resources	Transform models to JSON
Middleware	Auth, rate limiting, CORS
Routes	Versioned endpoints with groups
Pagination	Offset/cursor pagination
HTTP Client	Consume external APIs

Critical Rules

Always use API Resources - Never return Eloquent models directly
Versioned routes - Prefix with /v1/, /v2/
Validate all input - Use Form Requests, not inline validation
Rate limiting - Configure per-route limits
Consistent responses - Same structure, proper status codes
Use services - Keep controllers thin
Eager load - Prevent N+1 with with() before pagination

Reference Guide

Core Concepts

Topic	Reference	When to consult
Routing	routing.md	Defining versioned API routes
Controllers	controllers.md	Controller patterns, resource methods
Middleware	middleware.md	Route protection, request filtering
Validation	validation.md	Form Requests, validation rules

Request/Response

Topic	Reference	When to consult
Requests	requests.md	Accessing input, files, headers
Responses	responses.md	API Resources, status codes
Pagination	pagination.md	Offset/cursor pagination

Advanced

Topic	Reference	When to consult
Rate Limiting	rate-limiting.md	Throttle configuration
HTTP Client	http-client.md	Consuming external APIs
URLs	urls.md	URL generation, signed URLs
Strings	strings.md	String helpers, UUIDs, slugs
Redirects	redirects.md	Redirect responses

Templates (Code Examples)

Controllers & Routes

Template	Purpose
ApiController.php.md	Complete CRUD controller with service
api-routes.md	Versioned routes with middleware
routing-examples.md	Detailed routing patterns

Validation & Resources

Template	Purpose
FormRequest.php.md	Store/Update Form Requests
validation-rules.md	All validation rules reference
ApiResource.php.md	Resource with relationships

External APIs

Template	Purpose
HttpClientService.php.md	Reusable HTTP client service

Quick Reference

Resource Response

return PostResource::collection($posts);
return PostResource::make($post);

Status Codes

return PostResource::make($post)->response()->setStatusCode(201);
return response()->json(null, 204);

Form Request

public function store(StorePostRequest $request): JsonResponse
{
    $post = $this->service->create($request->validated());
    return PostResource::make($post)->response()->setStatusCode(201);
}

Rate Limiting

Route::middleware('throttle:60,1')->group(fn () => ...);

Versioned Routes

Route::prefix('v1')->group(function () {
    Route::apiResource('posts', PostController::class);
});

Pagination

return PostResource::collection(Post::paginate(15));
