Panulat is a modular, lightweight PHP framework for building clean REST APIs and API-first applications. It was created to keep API development as simple and focused as possible.

This repository is the Panulat starter project. It gives you a ready-to-use API application structure built on top of:

- `blcklab/panulat-core`
- `blcklab/panulat-jwt`
- `blcklab/panulat-cli`

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

Create a new project:

```
composer create-project blcklab/panulat my-api
cd my-api
```

Set up the application:

```

```

Start the local development server:

```
composer serve
```

Open:

```
http://127.0.0.1:8000
```

Docker
------

[](#docker)

Start the app and MySQL with Docker:

```
docker compose up --build
```

Open:

```
http://127.0.0.1:8080
```

The included `docker-compose.yml` is intended for local development.

Documentation

- `blcklab/panulat` — starter API project

Production
----------

[](#production)

For production installs:
