Simple MVC (For API connection)

Description

This repository is a simple PHP MVC structure from scratch.

It uses some cool vendors/libraries such as Twig, Grumphp and symfony/http-client for API connection. For this one, just a simple example where users can display a pic of the day from NASA API.

Steps

1. Clone the repo from Github.

2. Run composer install.

3. Create config/api.php from config/api.php.dist file and add your API key (use DEMO_KEY as your key for nasa example)

4. Create config/db.php from config/db.php.dist file and add your DB parameters. Don't delete the .dist file, it must be kept.

define('APP_DB_HOST', 'your_db_host');
define('APP_DB_NAME', 'your_db_name');
define('APP_DB_USER', 'your_db_user_wich_is_not_root');
define('APP_DB_PWD', 'your_db_password');

5. Import simple-mvc.sql in your SQL server,
6. Run the internal PHP webserver with php -S localhost:8000 -t public/. The option -t with public as parameter means your localhost will target the /public folder.
7. Go to localhost:8000 with your favorite browser.
8. From this starter kit, create your own web application.
