How to get data from database using API
initially create a laravel project. laravel new myWebApp.
then set up the database by using the suitable name and create it.
then create controller php artisan make:controller PostController.
php artisan make:model Post -m. through this command, we create a mode,l and also we can create migration for Post model.
$table ->String(‘title’);$table->text(‘content’);
add these fields inside the up function
then we want to migrate the changes into our database .so we need to cmd like php artisan migrate.
after that let's try to add some fake data to our database .so go to database/seeders/databaseseeders.php.basically, Laravel includes the ability to seed your database with data using seed classes. All seed classes are stored in the database/seeders directory
Faker generates fake or dummy data for your application and has built-in capability to generate fake data
then go to the database and check the post table .you can see the 10 dummy data are inserted.
then go to PostController
Post::all() we can get all post ,and assign to $post variable.
after that goto routes/api.php
Route::get('get-post'[PostController::class,'getPost'])`
then let's check or test the API by Postman before doing this run the server.
php artisan serve `
then add the URI api/get-post
continue…..
