/my-backend

Primary LanguagePHP

my-backend

Contains the backend of Word Doc Converter application.

To start the server:

php -S localhost:8000 -t public

To get a word document:

send a GET request to /reports and set the parameter, textBlock to the text which is required in the Word Document.

Why not API-Platform?

I was able to clone the API-Platform package and get it running and figured out that I only needed to add a custom controller in /api/src/Controller to handle requests coming to /reports endpoint similar to how it works in the current server.


  • First error:

The API-platform requires PHP>=8.0, hence I installed PHP 8.0.1.


  • Second error:

PHP 8.0.1 was able to resolve the above errors but when I tried installing the harshbhardwaj/report-maker package(link) using composer require harshbhardwaj/report-maker, I ran into the following error.


  • Final conclusion:

The report-maker package depends on phpoffice/phpword version 0.17.0, which is the latest version. The phpword package in turn requires version 5.3.3 or 7.0 of PHP. The devs are working on a new version of phpword which is compatible with php 8.0 and there is already an issue for the same.
