Retrofit BASE_URL of a sub-domain on Localhost using Laragon
-
I currently use Laragon in development and have a Laravel project whose URL is structured as follows
example.test api.example.test
I have developed the api and tested using Postman but now I need to test using the android app. In Postman, I can hit the
api.example.test
endpoints without any issues.In the Android app, I am using Retrofit but I would need to provide a BASE_URL that can be used to build other requests. I know for XAMPP, the BASE_URL looks like this
private static final String BASE_URL = "http://my_ip_address/path/to/project/folder/relative/to/server/root"
.This ends up looking like this for a typical Laravel project
private static final String BASE_URL = "http://192.168.0.*/example/public/api"
where/api
is a prefix that Laravel adds automatically to api routes.But since I am using Laragon, I don't even know how to write the BASE_URL because I have modified the Laravel project to route api calls to the
api.example.test
sub-domain.I have tried
private static final String BASE_URL = "http://192.168.0.*/example/public/v1/"
wherev1
is the prefix I use to indicate the api version.Please help!!!

@simioluwatomi : You can try another ways. There are 2 options:
- Use http://nip.io
- Use ngrok

So after trying to share with Ngrok, all subdomain routes no longer work. I get a
404 Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server
error. I came across this and I was able to reverse it. So I guess Ngrok is out of it for me. I can't be troubleshooting an Apache 404 everytime I want to share my project.@leokhoa please how do I set up nip.io? I use Apache and the tutorial I have found here about that uses Nginx. I don't know what the problem is but this
auto.messageapp.test.conf
takes me to Laragon's index.php in my server root.define ROOT "C:/laragon/www/messageapp/public/" define SITE "messageapp.test" <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "${ROOT}" ServerName ${SITE} ServerAlias *.${SITE} ServerAlias *.${SITE}.192.168.1.2.nip.io <Directory "${ROOT}"> AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> DocumentRoot "${ROOT}" ServerName ${SITE} ServerAlias *.${SITE} <Directory "${ROOT}"> AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile C:/laragon/etc/ssl/messageapp.test.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile C:/laragon/etc/ssl/messageapp.test.key </VirtualHost>
