Hi, I've to code an API on Laravel.
While searching on best practice I came accress a series in Laravel 6 from Jeffrey (it is archieved and I can't refind it, but it was usefull!).
... and after that nothing more about Orion. Very few listeners to the screencast, which I like very much.
I think, Laravel and API fits together, and Orion is a fantastic help to get a professional API up and running (eg. meta data, filter, search, etc.).
But there is so little feedback that I wonder, if there is something wrong with Orion and I should not rely on it.
Has anybody expirience with it?
Regards
G.
I have no experience with Orion but in general, when working with packages it is smart to check how maintained the package is.
When was the last release?
How many open issues?
How active are the issues? Do they get replies from the maintainers?
Is it up-to-date with the latest PHP and Laravel version?
Looking at the Orion specific package it seems to be scoring pretty good. It's still maintained actively, the last release was 18 days ago, and it supports all current Laravel and PHP versions. The packages seem to be alright to be used ;)
The package itself depends on preference and experience. Does it do the job for you? Great! Use it ;)
