Step 6: If you face csrf_token missmatch issue

    'api/*'
];`

Usage

For now this package can generate doc only for URL parameters and Request body. It will not generate doc for Query parameters.

To be able to generate doc for Body parameters you must have to use Form Request in your controller method.

Example

In your controller method:

public function filter(CircularFilterRequest $request): array
    {
        return CircularResource::collection(CircularsService::filter($request->job_type, $request->order_by, $request->order, $request->tags))->toArray($request);
    }

In your Form Request:

class CircularFilterRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'order_by' => 'string|nullable|in:created_at,starting_date,deadline',
            'order' => 'string|nullable|in:asc,desc',
            'job_type' => 'string|nullable|in:gov,non-gov',
            'tags' => 'array|nullable',
        ];
    }
}

A new route will be added to your project. You can access the swagger documentation by visiting the following url:

http://your-project-url/api-docs

And the swagger yaml file will be available at:

http://your-project-url/swagger-yaml-file-generated

Conclusion

This package is being developed for my own projects. I will be adding more features to it as I need them. If you have any suggestions or find any bug please feel free to open an issue or a pull request.
