A simple, ready to use Slim 4 login template. This template is based on PHP Slim 4 Framework, Doctrine ORM and PHP-DI/Slim-Bridge.
The template is constantly updated. It's my first look at PHP Slim Framework. For every fix or advice every PR is welcome.
Dowload this repository and run:
composer install
This command will download and install all the project dependecies.
The public/index.php file which is the only public file, simply includes the bootstrap.php file where the application is initialized.
The config/settings.php contains the application settings. Some of them are loaded from env variables, some others (no sensible information etc..) are hard coded (i.e. logger settings).
The settings and some other application dependencies are loaded in the PHP/DI container in the config/container.php file.
The routes are specified in the config/routes.php file. The routes simply redirect the request to the correct handler.
Routes handlers are specified inside controllers. Controllers perform actions like args checks and then they call the needed methods defined inside
the services. The services communicate with the database.
This template uses a MySQL database and Doctrine ORM in order to achieve data persistance.
Database configuration need to be specified in a .env file in the root directory. A .env.example file is provided.
The authentication is provided through PHP Sessions. A Slim middleware is placed on the routes that requires authentication.
The middleware automatically checks if the user is authenticated.
If the user is correctly logged in, the request pass through the middleware and reaches the route logic otherwise an Exception is raised and the corrispondent response is returned.
Errors can be genereted through Exceptions: when an error occured we can simply raise a new Exception.
Exceptions are then catched by the error middleware and a response is returned to the client.
Custom exceptions can be easily added by creating a new classes that extends the BaseException.php class.
Logging is provided through the Monolog library. The monolog library implements the PSR-3 interface.
This skeleton provides an easy way to test the PHP application by executing a local PHP server and expose it over the port 5000.
In order to test you can simply run:
composer start
