Hi everyone, I've been following along in the Forums TDD course, and have been using Laravel for a bit now, but still a newbie in the world of web design.
I also have been playing around with the Ionic 2 framework in order to develop a possible mobile application.
My question is, how do I best create JSON data with an API from laravel, that I can then tap into with Ionic and display it? I might not be describing this correctly, and I feel I understand the concepts overall, but just havent seen the simplest way of doing this or a good step by step tutorial.
Well, that depends your your actual requirements but for starters...your stack can be Laravel 5.5, laravel/passport, laravel-fractal and laravel-cors. Those packages will cover everything you need for a basic project. That gives you CORS, access tokens and transformation of json data. You can modify your exception handling for better api responses. Basically, you would end of with various data and error objects for users to consume...like your app. It's not complicated but you will need to be familiar with making an api. If you want really easy, investigate using Strongloop by IBM.
