In this lesson, we will repeat most of the steps we made for our Categories CRUD. But this time, we will create Transactions CRUD. Here's a quick overview:

  • Creating Models, Migrations
  • Creating Request classes
  • Creating TransactionController with CRUD methods
  • Creating TransactionResource
  • Adding API routes

So, let's dive into it.

Creating Models, Migrations

Let's start by creating our Model with migrations:

php artisan make:model Transaction -m

Then, let's update the migration file:

Migration

Schema::create('transactions', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->foreignId('category_id')->constrained();
    $table->foreignId('user_id')->nullable()->constrained();
    $table->date('transaction_date');
    $table->integer('amount');
    $table->string('description');
    $table->timestamps();
});

Our Model, which will have an amount attribute that will be cast to cents:

app/Models/Transaction.php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Casts\Attribute;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;
 
class Transaction extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'category_id',
        'user_id',
        'transaction_date',
        'amount',
        'description',
    ];
 
    protected function casts()
    {
        return [
            'transaction_date' => 'date',
        ];
    }
 
    protected function amount(): Attribute
    {
        return Attribute::make(
            get: fn($value) => $value / 100,
            set: fn($value) => $value * 100,
        );
    }
 
    public function user(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }
 
    public function category(): BelongsTo
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
    }
}

Because our Transactions are tied with Categories, we need to add a relationship to the categories...
