Building world-class APIs with API Platform for Laravel
summary
Claim: a single PHP attribute on an Eloquent model or POPO generates a full, documented REST and optional GraphQL API with automatic pagination, validation, filters and serialization. The system emits automatic OpenAPI and Hydra docs and defaults to JSON‑LD output (optional), scaffolds a React admin UI from the API, and integrates with Eloquent, Sanctum/Passport, Octane/RoadRunner, Pest assertions and common Laravel features. Live demos show endpoints working, data persisting, and docs and clients staying in sync.
