Saw this at the right time. Planning out my next project and I hadn't thought about versioning the API. thank you for this video!

Hello sir what will be the best way to send language (locale) in API.. 1. params (?lang=en) 2. url (url/en/abc) or others?

How about on routes have a folder api/ then place v1.php, v2.php etc inside… then require those files in the default routes/api.php

How can you post it on the exact time when I needed it the most ?

Hi Povilas, hope you're doing well. What about api versioning in laravel 11?

[mmramadan]

why I should duplicate the code in the second version api, I was working on a graduation project with the same idea and I not duplicated the code I still call the first api functions in case I not have a plan for adding a new actions, but in case I have a new actions I use your approach.

I've learned about API versioning, thanks a lot! I have another question: how can versioning be managed in an application when the database schema might need to be updated as the version increases? How can this be done automatically based on the current version?

Thank you for this insight.
Here what I use for versioning.
// V1 Route for the app
() {
require __DIR__.'/v1/api.php';
});
What do you think? I add this inside api.php file. Should I move it to routeServiceProvider?

Using git branching is another way to handle versioning from higher order. Having less complexity, duplicate and logical problems
