If you make a REST API with Laravel, all you need to do is:

1. Routing
Add the following code to 'routes/app.php'.
Route::apiResource('items', 'ItemsController');

2. Database setting
$ php artisan make:migration create_items_table
$ php artisan migrate --seed

3. Implementation
Execute the following command and edit the created files.
$ php artisan make:controller ItemsController
$ php artisan make:model Models/Item
$ php artisan make:request Item/StoreItemRequest
$ php artisan make:request Item/IndexItemsRequest
$ php artisan make:request Item/UpdateItemsRequest

4. Testing
Execute the following command and edit the created files.
$ php artisan make:test ItemTest
$ php artisan make:factory ItemFactory
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit

5. Operation check by cURL
ItemsController::index()
$ curl -X GET http://localhost/api/items

ItemsController::store()
$ curl -X POST http://localhost/api/items -d "category_id=1&name=newName&price=999&image=new.png"
Remember the inserted id (e.g.19)

ItemsController::show()
$ curl -X GET http://localhost/api/items/19

ItemsController::update()
$ curl -X PUT http://localhost/api/categories/19 -d "category_id=2&name=editedName&price=1000&image=edited.png"

ItemsController::destroy()
$ curl -X DELETE http://localhost/api/categories/19
