What is Laravel Passport?

APIs typically use tokens to authenticate users and do not maintain session state between requests. Laravel makes API authentication a breeze using Laravel Passport, which provides a full OAuth2 server implementation for your Laravel application in a matter of minutes. learn more

What are the routes should be there in api.php

  1. Login
  2. Register
  3. Other Routes on your application

ex : post/topic, get/topic, edit/topic

How do I convert my existing web.php into api.php

Simply get all logics and replace all return views with json response.

If you looking for a basic login and create a basic API you can use Laravel Built-In Token Auth (No Package Required)
