Laravel 5 API Boilerplate

A bit of scaffolding we're using to create some web services on Laravel 5.

Usage

To get started, clone this repository and run:

$ composer install

After thats finished, you'll need to create a test database in order to run your tests. One way to do so is:

$ cp .env.testing .env
$ touch storage/testing.sqlite
$ php artisan migrate --env=testing
$ vendor/bin/codecept run

This will set your applications default runtime to the 'test' environment. If you want to change that (i.e for local testing), just copy .env.example to .env and then edit .env to match your local settings.

$ cp .env.example .env
