Laravel: Understanding which api framework to choose

Question

Our company is about to start a real estate project and have decided to go with the laravel 5.3 framework. The first phase is to write the apis and then these apis will be consumed by the mobile team and the frontend team to build the official mobile app and the web portal respectively.

Now I am confused whether to use laravel's built-in Resource controllers (as instructed in this tutorial http://www.programmableweb.com/news/how-to-build-restful-apis-using-php-and-laravel/how-to/2014/08/13) or use the Dingo Api framework.

Could you please help me which one should I go for and why as per the requirements i mentioned above?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Since, Laravel 5.3 comes with Passport (for api authentication), I would suggest you to use Resource controller, which is very simple and easy to work with, and also it create a meaningful end points

Route::resource('post','PostController');

GET /post/{post}
POST /post
EDIT /post/{post}/edit
DELETE /post/{post}
