为应用程序加载Laravel 5 RESTFul API

Question

Question: Load the data from the persistent storage via a REST API.

how do i do this using laravel, i am new to laravel please bear with me if this is a stupid question. What does this mean? I have used this piece of code to generate my restAPI

 $search = $request->input('term');

    $results = array();

    $queries = DB::table('events')
        ->where('headline', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%')
        ->orWhere('zip', 'LIKE', '%'.$search.'%')
        ->take(10)->get();

    foreach ($queries as $query)
    {
        $results[] = [ 'id' => $query->id,
            'headline' => $query->headline,
            'address' => $query->address,
            'zipcode' => $query->zip,
            'long' => $query->longitude,
            'lat' => $query->latitude
        ];
    }
    return Response::json($results);

i don't know where to go ask. I have tried doing all this in the controller.

Please someone correct me if i'm wrong i tried:

    public function index()
{
   $events = Event::all(); 
   return view('event.show')->with('events', $events);
}

I'm not compeletely sure what you are trying to accomplish, but if you're using it as a Restful API, then there's no point to return the view since you only want the JSON outputted.

Possible solution: Create a route that will print out the JSON from the controller. You can read more about the routes from Laravel documentation.
