Roadmap

WIP

Version 3

• Support for Laravel 8
• Get rid of Webpatser\Uuid\ package (use Ramsey for everything)

Roadmap

Version 3.1

• Redo factories in the new way, in the boilerplate
• Add generator template using the new system (introducted in laravel 7)

Version 3.2

• Tackle getAll stuff
  • Add filtering
  • Add sorting
  • Make pagination more configurable (ie. specify perPage in the controller for a route)
    • Suggestion is to make it a static on the controller
  • Add optional relation includes
• Related: https://github.com/specialtactics/l5-api/pull/27

Version 3.3

• Support for PHP 8
• Distributed tracing feature

Version 3.4

• Add user registration to boilerplate base code
• Add PUT implementation to Child Restful Controller

Version n

• Add HMAC authentication

Version n+5

• Authentication rework
  • Consider the point raised here https://github.com/specialtactics/l5-api/issues/15 about where auth package dependencies should be defined
• Add passport and/or https://auth0.com/docs/getting-started/overview

Further down the track

• Rewrite of underlying dingo functionality to achieve compatibility with Laravel Router
• Look at more permissions options, eg. https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission
• Look at automated docs generation (either blueprint and/or openapi)

Todos from readme (put here in November 2020)

There are definitely some duplicates below.

Todo

• Add model factory to make:api-resource command and integrate it with stub for seeder
• Add pagination to child controller getAll() (requires a bit of a rewrite of how that works)
• Think of an easy way to deal with needing to hide relationships
• Add command to make a new transformer
• Integrate this https://github.com/spatie/laravel-query-builder
• Add primitive transformers
• Add config & allow ID to be added to model resource
• Write more tests
• Allow for authentication using only JWT, with middleware (for high speed requests)
• Bulk delete
• Bulk put/post
• Abstract all string text into language files
• Logging of API requests using middleware
