Zero to API with Lumen
summary
Builds a working REST API using PHP and Lumen, showing routes, Eloquent models, migrations and tests, and notes which Artisan commands are missing. Implements JSON output via a Fractal transformer, simple CRUD endpoints that return 201 and 204 where appropriate, and protects write actions with JWT authentication. Uses Postman for manual requests, demos a Pokemon Pokedex example that wires up validation, location headers and 404s, and claims the prototype takes under an hour to assemble and is easy to maintain.
