Building a Web Service with Laravel

In the last chapter, we got the Homestead development environment up and running, and began serving the main Vuebnb project. In this chapter, we will create a simple web service that will make Vuebnb's room listing data ready for display in the frontend.

Topics covered in this chapter:

• Using Laravel to create a web service
• Writing database migrations and seed files
• Creating API endpoints to make data publicly accessible
• Serving images from Laravel
