Laravel Compass is a Laravel package that embeds a REST client UI inside your Laravel application. It auto-discovers your app's routes so you can test API calls (GET, POST, PUT/PATCH, DELETE, auth mechanisms) and generate API documentation from the browser.

Use cases

• test my Laravel API endpoints without leaving the app
• generate API documentation from Laravel routes
• debug REST API requests with different auth mechanisms
• explore and call GET, POST, PUT, DELETE endpoints in a GUI
• replace Postman for testing my Laravel project's APIs

When to choose

• you develop Laravel apps and want an in-app REST client
• you want API docs generated automatically from your Laravel routes
• you prefer a self-hosted, browser-based API testing tool tied to your codebase

When to avoid

• your project is not built on Laravel
• you need a standalone API client independent of a specific framework
• you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was mid-2023
