mvc-api-example

Please note this is not production-ready code as it has been extracted from a Docker container I developed. Some features may not work or may not compile, this is just an example of how I developed it.

• API Authorization implemented on Back + Front end (Login System)
• Added "API" versioning
• V1 does not allow Authorization and uses "MVC" pattern
• V2 allows Authorization and uses leverages a Repository Design Pattern
• Database Migration + Seeder

Layout

• As usual the API routes are defined in routes/api
• Authentication is at http/controllers/api/UserController
• V1 model files are: http/controllers/api/GetUnitsController, http/controllers/api/ToggleUnitsController, uses HTTP Codes from Http/Code and uses the models Unit, UnitCharge
• V2 - files are in Repositories - Providers, Interface and Class.

Database architecture

• I developed the database in a very simple way. If this were to be a production build then this database should not be used as it would be harder to maintain!
