REST API IN SLIM PHP

Example of RESTful API with Slim PHP micro framework.

This simple API allows you to manage resources such as: users, tasks and notes.

You can also read this README IN SPANISH.

Main technologies used: PHP 7, Slim 3, MySQL, Redis, dotenv, PHPUnit and JSON Web Tokens.

Also, I use other aditional tools like: Docker & Docker Compose, Travis CI, Swagger, Code Climate, Scrutinizer, Sonar Cloud, PHPStan, PHP Insights, Heroku and CORS.

More info about this project in my post: How to create a REST API using Slim PHP.

I implemented this API in this project. It's a todo list web app developed in Angular.

⚙️ QUICK INSTALL:

Requirements:

Git.
Composer.
PHP 7.4+ or 8.0+.
MySQL/MariaDB.
Redis (Optional).
or Docker.

With Composer:

You can create a new project running the following commands:

$ composer create-project maurobonfietti/rest-api-slim-php [my-api-name]
$ cd [my-api-name]
$ composer restart-db
$ composer test
$ composer start

With Git:

In your terminal execute this commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/maurobonfietti/rest-api-slim-php.git && cd rest-api-slim-php
$ cp .env.example .env

$ composer start

With Docker:

You can use this project using docker and docker-compose.

Minimal Docker Version:

Engine: 18.03+
Compose: 1.21+

Commands:

# Start the API (this is my alias for: docker-compose up -d --build).
$ make up

# To create the database and import test data from scratch.
$ make db

# Checkout the API.
$ curl http://localhost:8081

# Stop and remove containers (it's like: docker-compose down).
$ make down
