Using laravel-jsonapi

This library is made with the concept of exposing models in mind, as found in the RESTful API approach.

In few steps you can expose your models:

1. Create a route to direct the requests

   In this example, we use a generic route for all models and HTTP methods:

   Route::any('{model}/{id?}', 'ApiController@handleRequest');
   

2. Create your controller to handle the request

   Your controller is responsible to handling input, instantiating a handler class and returning the response.
