CLSlim
======

[](#clslim)

For developers, CLSlim is an *opinionated* PHP framework used to quickly create CRUD based RESTful APIs.

CLSlim is a marriage between [Slim 4](http://slimframework.com) and [Eloquent ORM](https://github.com/illuminate/database)with [Robo](http://robo.li/) as your [wedding planner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_planner).

CLSlim is *opinionated* meaning that CLSlim stresses convention over configuration.

CLSlim works best as a framework in the following situation:

- You need to quickly spin up a [RESTful](https://restfulapi.net/) [datacentric](https://www.codecademy.com/articles/what-is-crud) API
- You already have defined your database with entities (tables/views) already in place
- You are just starting your project (for the backend API handler) and need to *hit the ground running*

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.1+
- MySQL 5.6+ or SQLite3 (Postgres and MSSQL should also work but are untested)
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org)

### Installation

[](#installation)

From a terminal / command window run:

```
composer create-project clsystems/clslim [your-project-name]
cd [your-project-name]

// Linux / Mac users do this:
./clslim clslim:sample

// Windows execute this:
php -S localhost:8088 -t public
// Then in your favorite web browser go to: localhost:8088/v1/sample/hello-world

```

The result should look something like this:

```
{
  "authenticated": true,
  "success": true,
  "status": 200,
  "data": {
    "id": "hello-world"
  },
  "missing": [ ],
  "message": "Sample test",
  "timestamp": 1556903905
}
```
