## What it is
A Laravel package that automatically generates a Postman collection (v2.1.0 schema) from your application's API routes via an Artisan command. It supports bearer and basic auth tokens and can scaffold FormRequest parameters for POST/PUT requests.

## Use cases
- generate a postman collection from my laravel api routes
- export laravel api endpoints to postman automatically
- create postman requests with bearer auth for laravel routes
- scaffold postman collection with form request parameters
- keep postman collection in sync with laravel api
- export api routes for insomnia or postman testing

## When to choose
- you maintain a Laravel API and want an up-to-date Postman collection without manual work
- you want auth headers (bearer/basic) pre-filled in generated requests
- you want FormRequest rules included in exported requests

## When to avoid
- your API is not built with Laravel
- you need OpenAPI/Swagger documentation rather than a Postman collection
- you need deeply customized request bodies beyond FormRequest scaffolding

- artifact type: plugin
