A RESTful API boilerplate for Lumen micro-framework with OAuth2 authentication, repository pattern, and fractal transformers.
REST API with Lumen is a boilerplate project for quickly building secure and feature-rich RESTful APIs using the Lumen micro-framework. It solves the problem of repetitive setup by providing pre-configured authentication, authorization, data transformation, and testing tools, enabling developers to jumpstart API development with best practices.
PHP developers and teams building RESTful APIs with Lumen who need a structured, production-ready starting point with built-in security and testing features.
Developers choose this boilerplate because it offers a comprehensive set of essential API features out-of-the-box, follows clean architectural patterns like Repository and Transformer, and reduces initial setup time while enforcing consistency and security.

Integrates Laravel Passport for secure token-based authentication with scope-based authorization, as demonstrated in the custom access token creation route and scope middleware for endpoints.
Enforces Repository Pattern and Fractal Transformers, promoting testable code and consistent API responses, evidenced in the step-by-step guide for adding new resources like messages.
Includes built-in endpoint and unit tests with Travis CI integration, ensuring reliability from the start, as listed in the key features and README.
Comes pre-configured with CORS support, rate limiting, event handling, and mailing via Mailable, reducing initial setup time for scalable APIs.
Requires multiple manual steps like database creation, Passport client installation, and service provider updates, which can be cumbersome for quick prototypes.
Based on Lumen 5.5 without clear upgrade paths, potentially missing newer PHP features or security updates from later Lumen releases.
Mandates patterns like Repository and Fractal, which might not suit teams preferring simpler Laravel Eloquent or different response formatting methods.
