README

Starter REST-Application written in PHP with the Slim 3 Framework

Prerequisites

PHP

• Minimum: PHP version 5.6
• Recommended: PHP version 7.1

Composer

Composer is a dependencies manager for PHP on a per-project basis.

Get Composer from their website. Follow the installation guide in the "Getting Started" section. For further information about what composer is, please read the docs on their page.

After installation, for commands, you can use either the composer.phar file in the project directory - if composer not globally installed - , or you can work directly with composer - if globally installed on your machine.

Globally installed on system:

 > composer ... 

or downloaded composer.phar file

 > composer.phar ...

In the following instructions we will use composer globally installed!

Installation

Once you`ve installed composer, the starter project can be downloaded over composer.

Root to the directory where you want to install the project

Install the starter project with following command:

> composer creae-project "burtscherflorian/slimphp-rest-starter:*" [your-application-name]

Replace [your-application-name] with the desired directory name for your new application.

Root to the directory [your-application-name] and run composer install, to require all dependencies inside your slim application

> composer install

To the end you have to generate the autoload files with this command:

> composer dump-autoload -o

Now you are ready for REST!

Happy Coding!
