Laravel 5 / Lumen 5 Api Controller

Fork of EventHomes' APIController trait. Has a few fixes and customizations that make it more useful, like prettyprinting and raw responses.

A simple api controller helper trait, compatible with Lumen 5+ and Laravel 5+. The goal of this project is to make creating API projects simple. Inspired by Jeffrey Way (https://www.laracasts.com)
