## Overview

This is a Laravel/Vue blogging application. Users browse and search posts, view post details, register or log in, manage their posts and profile, and participate through comments. The backend exposes user API routes; controllers validate requests, delegate through repository contracts, and serialize responses. Posts are associated with categories, tags, comments, and users, with cover-file handling in the post repository. The source index documents the broader UI and domain areas, but excerpts do not establish all frontend-to-API calls or route mappings; those links are omitted or marked unverified.

Main entry points: [`routes/api/user/index.php`](https://github.com/moustafa-dj/vl-blog/blob/master/routes/api/user/index.php) (User API routes), [`resources/js/router/index.js`](https://github.com/moustafa-dj/vl-blog/blob/master/resources/js/router/index.js) (Client router), [`app/Contracts`](https://github.com/moustafa-dj/vl-blog/tree/master/app/Contracts) (Repository contracts), [`app/Http/Controllers/Api/User/PostController.php`](https://github.com/moustafa-dj/vl-blog/blob/master/app/Http/Controllers/Api/User/PostController.php) (Post controller)
