Architecture

I've used PHP extensively over the 5 last years. I've also used Laravel for a few projects of mine. Now I will be hired for a big project that will involve building an API with Laravel that will be consumed by a mobile application. It is a startup that I will work for, and I will be the only one responsible for back-end.

I want to build a code that I will be proud of. I want to build an auto-generated documentation that will be easily understandable by front-ends and mobile app developers as well.

I have a few weeks to prepare, and I am eager to read and learn a lot. So, do you have any advice? Are there any open source projects that were specifically designed for API with Laravel?

Any other advice not related to this is very welcome as well. I am a mid-dev, so leading a huge project will be the first kind of an experience for me.

Thank you very much.

I followed this tutorial. It is a good start for me.

I created the documentation on my own. Looking forward for an auto-generated documentation also.

A while ago I wrote this API Boilerplate for Laravel 5.5, I deleted the repo as I didn't have time to maintain it So I have linked to a fork that someone did. This is a pretty stable solution. I have built many API's with this in the past
