💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the V1 namespace for V2 routes.

Using the Web namespace instead of API.

For version 2 API routes, the namespace usually reflects the version folder, like 'API\V2'.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'auth:web' which is for web routes.

Using 'guest' which allows unauthenticated access.

API routes typically use 'auth:api' middleware to protect endpoints with API authentication.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a versioned API route group with middleware and namespace.

Laravel

Route::prefix('api/[1]')->middleware('[2]')->namespace('App\\Http\\Controllers\\API\\[1]')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/items', [ItemController::class, 'index']);
});

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mismatching prefix and namespace versions.

Using 'auth:web' middleware for API routes.

The prefix and namespace should match the API version, here 'v3', and middleware should be 'auth:api' for API authentication.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a versioned API route with prefix, middleware, and controller namespace.

Laravel

Route::prefix('api/[1]')->middleware('[2]')->namespace('App\\Http\\Controllers\\API\\[1]')->group(function () {
    Route::post('/login', [[3]::class, 'authenticate']);
});

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Dauth:web

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'auth:web' middleware for API routes.

Mismatching prefix and namespace versions.

Using wrong controller name.

API version prefix and namespace should be 'v1', middleware 'auth:api' for API protection, and the controller handling login is 'AuthController'.
