Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Create a production-grade Laravel REST API for [PROJECT_NAME] that follows clean architecture principles. The API should include [FEATURES] and implement type safety. Ensure it adheres to Laravel best practices and integrates with our existing [EXISTING_SYSTEM]. Provide a detailed implementation plan including database schema, controller logic, and middleware requirements.

Example Output

To create a production-grade Laravel REST API for the 'E-Commerce Platform' project, we will follow these steps:

1. **Project Setup**: Initialize a new Laravel project using Composer and set up the necessary directories for clean architecture (App/Modules, App/Shared, etc.).
2. **Database Schema**: Design the database schema with tables for Users, Products, Orders, and Categories. Implement relationships and constraints to ensure data integrity.
3. **Controller Logic**: Develop controllers for each module (UserController, ProductController, OrderController) with methods for CRUD operations. Use Laravel's Eloquent ORM for database interactions.
4. **Middleware**: Implement authentication middleware using Laravel's built-in mechanisms (e.g., Sanctum for API tokens) to secure the API endpoints.
5. **Type Safety**: Utilize PHPStan or Psalm for static analysis to ensure type safety throughout the application. Write custom rules to enforce type checks specific to the project.
6. **Testing**: Create unit and feature tests using PHPUnit to cover all critical paths. Ensure tests are automated and run on every commit.
7. **Documentation**: Generate API documentation using tools like Swagger or Postman. Include examples and detailed descriptions of each endpoint.
8. **Deployment**: Set up CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI to automate testing and deployment. Deploy the API to a production server with proper environment configuration.

By following these steps, we ensure that the Laravel REST API is robust, maintainable, and adheres to best practices.
