Only 3 steps to make your json file to fully functional REST API with JWT token auth.

1

Add your JSON data under database/collections folder. (There are two sample json dbs called posts and cars)

2

Change username and password or add new users in database/config.php file.

3

Delare routes inside main index.php

Examples

Public Route

  $router->get('/posts',function(){
      $posts = DB::table("posts")->all();
      echo json_encode($posts);
  });
  

Protected Route

if($auth->routes()){

  $router->get('/posts',function(){
      $posts = DB::table("posts")->all();
      echo json_encode($posts);
  });
  
}

Here, you'll see the database queries but most are very similar with Laravel eloquent.

That's it, just upload on hosting or serve via xampp/mamp and you're ready to fetch data via REST API.
