Router Package

Resource Routes

Resource routes automatically generate RESTful routes for a controller.

Resource routes automatically generate RESTful routes for a controller.

Resource Routing

Route.resource("users", UserController);

This generates:

Method	URI	Action	Route Name
GET	/users	index	users.index
GET	/users/create	create	users.create
POST	/users	store	users.store
GET	/users/:id	show	users.show
GET	/users/:id/edit	edit	users.edit
PUT/PATCH	/users/:id	update	users.update
DELETE	/users/:id	destroy	users.destroy

For API-only routes (no create/edit forms):

Route.apiResource("users", UserController);

This generates:

Route.resource("users", UserController).middleware("auth");
Route.apiResource("posts", PostController).middleware(["auth", "throttle"]);

Route.group(() => {
  Route.resource("users", UserController);
  Route.resource("posts", PostController);
}).prefix("/api/v1");

Route.fromControllers([UserController, PostController, CommentController]);

OpenAPI Generation

LaraNode can automatically generate OpenAPI 3.0 specifications from your route metadata.
