Serving Laravel from a directory - php

Question

I am currently using a javascript framework being served up using Nginx, for example on the following url
www.myjsapp.com
I am also using Laravel 5.6 to build an API.
Instead of building 2 hosts, one for the JS app and one for Laravel, I want to be able to serve up the Laravel API on the following URL.
www.jsapp.com/api
Is this possible or do I have to always use 2 hosts?
The nginx server block for myjsappcom is as follows;
server {
listen 80;
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name .myjsapp.com;
root "/home/project/myjsapp";
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
access_log off;
error_log /var/log/nginx/myjsapp.com-error.log error;
sendfile off;
client_max_body_size 100m;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
fastcgi_buffer_size 16k;
fastcgi_buffers 4 16k;
fastcgi_connect_timeout 300;
fastcgi_send_timeout 300;
fastcgi_read_timeout 300;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/myjsapp.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/myjsapp.com.key;
}

You can separate the servers using location blocks in your nginx config file:
different /location blocks will capture different url schemes and pass them to the respective servers (node or laravel).
server {
server_name mysjapp.com;
#other configurations like root, logs
location / {
#node server config
}
location /api {
#laravel server config
}
}
