Read on Medium

Automatically generate API documentation for Laravel without writing annotations.

Requirements

Lang	Versions
PHP	7.4 or 8.0 or 8.1 or 8.2
Laravel	6.* or 8.* or 9.* or 10.*

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require rakutentech/laravel-request-docs

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=request-docs-config
php artisan route:cache

(optional) Add the following middleware to your API, so that the SQL logs and model events are captured.

app/Http/Kernel.php

        'api' => [
            ...
            \Rakutentech\LaravelRequestDocs\LaravelRequestDocsMiddleware::class,
            ... and so on

Usage

Dashboard

View in the browser on /request-docs/

Design pattern

For this plugin to work, you need to follow the design pattern by injecting the request class inside the controller. For extra documentation you can use markdown inside your controller method as well.

Dark and Light Modes

Uses local storage to save the history of previous requests and request headers.

Extra

You write extra documentation in markdown which will be rendered as HTML on the dashboard. Example of using it in the controller

    /**
     * @lrd:start
     * Hello markdown
     * Free `code` or *text* to write documentation in markdown
     * @lrd:end
     */
    public function index(MyIndexRequest $request): Resource
    {

Params not in rules

You write extra params with rules with @LRDparam in the comment line as one line

    /**
     * @LRDparam username string|max:32
     * // either space or pipe
     * @LRDparam nickaname string|nullable|max:32
     * // override the default response codes
     * @LRDparam responses 200,422
     */
    public function index(MyIndexRequest $request): Resource
    {
