Introduction

How It Works

Orion uses the most powerful features of Laravel: Eloquent models and relationships, policies, request classes, and API resources, which makes it incredibly powerful and extensible, yet simple to get started with.

You create a controller, associate it with an Eloquent model you would like to manage via the API and let Orion do the REST (see what I've done here 😄 ) for you! All endpoints for index, search, show, store, update, destroy, restore and batchStore, batchUpdate, batchDestroy, batchRestore operations will already be there with proper authorization, validation and error handling (you need to define policies and request classes yourself, of course).

But it does not end here. Define relationship controllers, and it will allow your API consumers to manage all types of relations. Yes, all, which means associate/dissociate, attach/detach, sync, toggle, updatePivot as well as CRUD operations are available via a standardized REST API.

And, as a bonus, the search endpoint on both model and relationship controllers allows applying all sorts of query constraints to retrieve filtered results.
