REST API IN SLIM PHP

TROUBLESHOOTING:

1- Clone project and install dependencies:

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

2- Create a new MySQL database. For example: "rest_api_slim_php".

From the command line run:

$ mysql -e 'CREATE DATABASE rest_api_slim_php;'

3- Create the structure and load test data into the database.

The database can be updated manually using the following file: database.sql.

It can also be run from the command line:

$ mysql rest_api_slim_php < database/database.sql

4- Configure the connection data with MySQL.

Edit and complete configuration file: .env. For example:

DB_HOST='127.0.0.1'
DB_NAME='rest_api_slim_php'
DB_USER='root'
DB_PASS=''
DB_PORT='3306'

5- Configure optional environment variables.

For example:

DISPLAY_ERROR_DETAILS=true
APP_DOMAIN='https://www.yourdomain.com'
REDIS_URL=''
SECRET_KEY='YourSuperSecret-KeY'

LOCAL SERVER:

You can start the PHP internal web server by running:

$ composer start

NOTE:

The composer start command would be the equivalent to execute:

$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public public/index.php

If everything went well 😎, you can access the project locally by entering: Help, Status and Notes.
