REST API IN SLIM PHP

Example of REST API with Slim PHP micro framework.

This simple RESTful API, allows CRUD operations to manage resources like: Users, Tasks and Notes.

You can also read this README IN SPANISH.

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

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

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.
