Laravel API Development

This package builds a documented REST API in Laravel for a React or Next.js frontend, a Flutter or React Native mobile app, or partners who need to read and write your data. I design endpoints around the resources your clients actually request, return consistent JSON through API resources, and keep validation errors in one predictable shape, so the frontend team writes one error handler instead of twenty.

Design choices that save trouble later

Authentication uses Sanctum tokens, or Passport on Premium where a third party needs OAuth. On Business and Premium, routes are rate limited per user and grouped under /v1, because an app already installed on phones cannot be forced to update the day an endpoint changes. List endpoints paginate and accept filters, so a phone never downloads ten thousand records at once.

• Each endpoint checks permissions with a policy, not only whether the token is valid.
• Slow work such as PDF generation or emails moves to queued jobs on Premium.
• Outgoing webhooks on Premium notify partner systems when a record changes.

How you know it works

Starter ships with a Postman collection. Business and Premium add OpenAPI documentation and a feature test for every endpoint that checks the happy path, a validation failure and an unauthorized request. The acceptance check is simple: your frontend developer can call every endpoint from the documentation alone, and the test suite passes on a clean checkout. Premium also includes a load test against staging so you see response times before real users arrive.

Not included

The mobile app or frontend itself, hosting fees and any paid third-party API are outside this package. The code goes into a repository you own.
