Zero to API With Lumen

Transcript

1. Amanda Folson - Laracon 2016 @AmbassadorAwsum Zero to API with

   Lumen

2. Who Am I? ▸ Amanda Folson ▸ Developer Advocate at

   GitLab ▸ Professional Conference Attendee ▸ OSS ~10 years ◦ Many years of APIs

3. About Lumen ▸ Microframework ▸ Circa April 2015 ▸ Trimmed

   down Laravel ▸ Laravel upgrade path

4. Why Lumen?

5. Monolithic->Microservices

6. Blacklist Build Zones Honeypot API Scheduler Thing Restarter

7. What the heck is an API?

8. REST APIs ▸ Representational State Transfer ▸ Can return XML,

   JSON, YAML, Markdown ▸ RAPIDLY gaining adoption over SOAP/XML-RPC ◦ No need to know order of parameters

9. HTTP-based APIs ▸ Often HTTP-based ◦ Many things natively speak

   HTTP ▸ Stateless ◦ No sessions! ◦ HATEOAS

10. HTTP Methods OPTIONS GET DELETE PATC H PUT POST

11. Coming From Laravel

12. Getting Started

13. DotEnv

14. Facades + Eloquent

15. Routing Laravel Routing Lumen Routing

16. Artisan

17. Differences Between Laravel and Lumen in Artisan Lumen’s `artisan`: ▸

    No `serve` command ▸ No `key:generate` ▸ No `tinker` ▸ No `env` ▸ No `down` ▸ No `vendor:publish`

18. Migrations ▸ Install ▸ Refresh ▸ Reset ▸ Rollback ▸

    Status ▸ `db:seed`

19. Make Migrations

20. Differences in Artisan’s Make Command Lumen’s `make`: ▸ ONLY has

    `make:migration` ▸ No `make:model` ▸ No `make:controller` ▸ No `make:auth` + scaffolding ▸ Many more since Lumen is slimmed down

21. Pokémon API

22. Resources ▸ /resource is a gateway to an area of

    an application ◦ In this case, we hit /pokemon ◦ We can get a single Pokémon or a collection of them

23. Resource Collections

24. Pokédex Routes

25. A Note About Views...

26. JSON

27. Fractal

28. Pokémon Controller - Index and Store

29. Pokémon Controller - Show

30. Pokémon Controller - Update

31. Pokémon Controller - Destroy

32. Pokémon Model

33. Authentication ▸ AuthServiceProvider provided ◦ But needs to be uncommented

    in app.php ▸ PLENTY of other options ◦ JWT

34. Using Authentication Middleware ▸ Many packages available (JWT, OAUTH2, Stormpath,

    etc.) ▸ JWT used below:

35. A Note About Authentication...

36. Testing

37. Beyond This Talk ▸ HATEOAS and Hypermedia ▸ Rate limiting

    ▸ Running APIs at scale ▸ Events ▸ Queues ▸ Caching ▸ Encryption ▸ Logging ▸ Deploying

38. /resources ▸ Lumen and Laravel docs ◦ https://lumen.laravel.com/docs/ ▸ Paul

    Redmond’s Book ◦ https://www.apress.com/9781484221860 ▸ Build APIs You Won’t Hate by Phil Sturgeon ▸ RESTful Web APIs by Leonard Richardson, Mike Amundsen, and Sam Ruby ▸ Undisturbed REST by Mike Stowe ▸ Me!
