I’m trying to build an e-commerce with a friend and we’re thinking about putting together a Rest api to access the bunch of data and create a website and an app to consume it. Since this is an e-commerce, I would like to know if the Rest Apis are used to register and log a user into the system.

From now on, thank you.

    Perhaps you should rephrase your question a little better so that it does not end up being closed because it is too wide, what is the level of your doubt ? on how to create an ? api about which framework or tool to use ? and yes, API’s Rest serve for this, you can even use combined front and back frameworks, a good example of this is the combination of API Rest in Laravel with Vuejs, explain a little better what your question, so me or someone else can respond with assertiveness.

  • My question is just this. If it was possible to log in and register a user using a Rest api. I have no doubts about how to create an api. And not even about tools. We’re still thinking about how the system will work.

  • Ah, so the comment solved your doubt ? recommend using Laravel for this type of product if you use it in PHP, just confirm if you want to do it in PHP, then I can prepare a good answer.

  • We are thinking of using Django or Laravel. How these operations would be done in Laravel?

  • I am preparing a complete answer to help you, already put it ;D

First, start the project:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel sua-api

Enter the folder:

cd sua-api

After that, you will need to create the authentication, so use the command:

php artisan make:auth

This command will create a series of files .blade resourcer/view/auth and resources/view/auth/passwords, will create one more Controller and a Model that will automate your login process, too, will add inside your file api.php two lines:

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');

Now you will need to place your routes within a middleware, this file should have the following route configuration:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
    Route::get('/', function () {
        return redirect()->to('http://127.0.0.1:8000/login');
    });

    Auth::routes();

    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
});

In order to log in, you will need to have a table with the users and the authentication memory key (remember_token), for this use the command:

php artisan make:migration create_users_table

After that, open the migration that was generated in the folder database/migrations, and leave the function up as follows:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('users', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->increments('id');

        $table->string('name', 32);
        $table->string('username', 32);
        $table->string('email', 320);
        $table->string('password', 64);
        $table->string('remember_token', 100)->nullable();
        $table->timestamps();
  });
}

Perform the migration:

php artisan migrate

And finally, start your project server:

php artisan serve

Now, go to:

https://127.0.0.8000/

You will be redirected to a standard login page of Laravel, on this page in the upper left corner you can register users, after registering it, log in, must be redirected to a Home pattern of Laravel also.

From this, you can change all the generated templates as you want, and use the other functions.

To check if a user is logged in and is allowed to perform functions in the methods created later use the following command in your models:

 Auth::check()

You must answer true or false.

This should be enough to start your project.
