Writing APIs in LumenPresented at Laravel Live UK, June 2018

Modern applications increasingly require an API, whether to support rich client-side experiences, mobile apps, or to integrate with other systems, and Lumen is an excellent tool for this job. Lumen is lightweight and focussed on providing stateless, JSON APIs which is ideal. I want your API to be a good HTTP citizen and will show you how to build a really excellent and robust API in Lumen including how to handle core HTTP features, such as media negotiation & status codes. We’ll also look providing developer-friendly features like thoughtful error handling and documentation. By the end of this session, you’ll know how to build great Lumen APIs that give you a competitive edge, ensuring that developers want to work with it.
