Vivid Ciphers Website API

To get the API project to run on your system will require a bit of work. You will need php, mysql, composer, laravel, and postman.

Setting up the project

• Before we can do any work on the API, we need composer installed on our system.
  • Composer Link
• Next we need to use composer to install Laravel.
  • composer require global laravel/installer
• In mysql, create a new vivid-ciphers database.
• Using a commmand prompt, navigate to the vivid-ciphers-api project and run all existing migrations to build the database schema.

Testing the API with postman

• Download postman if you don't already have it from This link.
• Once postman is downloaded and you're running laravel's webserver, you can run start testing the API routes.
• Using a command prompt, navigate to the vivid-ciphers-api project folder and run php artisan serve to start laravel's webserver.
