Welcome To ITSolutionsGuides,


In this it solutions guides tutorial lets see How to Publish API Route File in Laravel 11. In laravel 11 due to its slim skeleton structure more files where removed or moved to the framework, likewise the API route file also removed by default. If we need to build API using the Laravel 11 version we need to install the API using the artisan command.
php artisan install:api
After executing the artisan command laravel will install the laravel/sail, laravel/santum, laravel/tinker packages and also create the api.php in the routes directory. To publish API route files in Laravel 11, start by creating a new route file in the designated directory. Define your API routes using the appropriate methods like get, post, etc. Don't forget to namespace your routes and ensure proper versioning. Once done, register your new route file in the RouteServiceProvider. Finally, test your routes thoroughly to ensure they function as expected and comply with your application's requirements.

php artisan install:api


routes/api.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
    return $request->user();
})->middleware(Authenticate::using('sanctum'));
