Usage
Configuring controllers
Add a property to your entity controller like this:
public $postmanModel = 'App\MyEntityModel';
Add a public method to your model class like this: (optional)
/** * returns sample body for put/post request * * @param string $method - POST / PUT / PATCH etc. * @param string|null $routeName - the routename from the routes file if set. * * @return array * / public function getPostmanParams(string $method, ?string $routeName): array { return [ 'key1' => 'sampleValue', 'key2' => '' ]; }
This array of params will be used to fill POST and PUT urlencoded form data section in postman. The previous method is just an example, you should return the array of params that you want to see in postman.
if the above method not supplied, will use the model fillable to fill it.
Documenting endpoints
Laravel-Postman uses the docblocks above your methods to generate the documentation eg:
/** * this is the summary - which headlines the description * * this is the description - which goes on a new line under the summary (optional) * * @route-name My Custom Route Name (defaults to folder.model.method if not set) * * @param ... ... */
Export
php artisan postman:export
Optionally you can limit to a specific controller, or list of controllers by passing the -C
parameter and the controllers you wish to use.
