POData-Laravel

Composer Package to provide Odata functionality to Laravel

• PHP 5.6 support has been dropped *

To install, run

composer require algo-web/podata-laravel

Edit config/app.php and add this to providers section:

AlgoWeb\PODataLaravel\Providers\MetadataProvider::class,
AlgoWeb\PODataLaravel\Providers\MetadataRouteProvider::class,
AlgoWeb\PODataLaravel\Providers\QueryProvider::class,
AlgoWeb\PODataLaravel\Providers\MetadataControllerProvider::class,

You then add the trait to the models you want to expose.

    use \AlgoWeb\PODataLaravel\Models\MetadataTrait;

By default, following Laravel convention, POData-Laravel pluralises the model names to use as endpoints. That's an implementation choice in POData-Laravel, not anything intrinsic to OData itself.

Eg, for User model, all else equal:

    /odata.svc/Users

If you have just installed the package and have trouble reaching your models' endpoints, try setting APP_DISABLE_AUTH=true in your project's .env file temporarily, and then try reaching those endpoints again.

-- Known Limitations --

• Cannot expose two models with the same class name in different namespaces - trying to expose both App\Foo\Model and App\Bar\Model will trip an exception complaining that resource set has already been added.
• This can be worked around by setting a custom endpoint name on one of the colliding models.
• Controller input parameters map 'id' to underlying model's primary key
• Assumes autoloader has been optimised with composer -o dump-autoload.

-- Configuration options -- These need to go in your Laravel project's .env file.

• APP_METADATA_CACHING - Whether or not to turn model metadata caching on
• APP_METADATA_CACHE_DURATION - If caching, how long (in minutes) to retain cached metadata
• APP_DISABLE_AUTH - Disable authentication (boolean)
• APP_DRY_RUN - Roll back DB changes unconditionally (boolean)
