Laravel External API Integration for Product Management

Overview

This Laravel application integrates with an external API to manage product data. It performs CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using Laravel and the external API. The application provides a user-friendly interface for managing products, including fetching data, creating new products, updating existing ones, and deleting products. The interface uses Bootstrap for styling and includes breadcrumb navigation for easy navigation.

  • Edit Product: Retrieve a single product by ID from the API and display it in an edit form (api-data.edit). Send a PUT request to update the product details.
  • Delete Product: Handle deletion of products via AJAX requests, providing feedback on the success or failure of the operation.
  • User Interface: Responsive design using Bootstrap with views for listing, creating, and editing products.
