> **Note:** This repository contains the core code of the DreamFactory platform. If you want the full DreamFactory platform, visit the main [DreamFactory repository](https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dreamfactory).

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

DreamFactory is a secure, self-hosted enterprise data access platform that provides governed API access to any data source, connecting enterprise applications and on-prem LLMs with role-based access and identity passthrough.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Documentation for the platform can be found on the [DreamFactory wiki](http://wiki.dreamfactory.com).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

> **Note:** This document is currently intended for developers who desire to add DreamFactory to an existing Laravel project. For more information, see the [full platform repository](https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dreamfactory).

Edit your project’s composer.json to require the following package.

```
“require”:{
	"dreamfactory/df-core": "~0.21.1"
}

```

Save your composer.json and do a "composer update" to install the package. Once the package is installed edit your config/app.php file to add the LaravelServiceProvider in the Providers array.

```
‘providers’ => [
	….,
	….,
	'DreamFactory\Core\LaravelServiceProvider'
]

```

Next run "php artisan vendor:publish" to publish the config file df.php to config/ directory and a helpful test\_rest.html file to public/ directory.

If you have setup your database connection right in your .env file then run the following migration.

```
php artisan migrate

```

Now if you have setup the phpunit config right in phpunit.xml (Use the supplied phpunit.xml-dist file in the package to use the right params) file then you should be able to run the unit tests.

```
phpunit vendor/dreamfactory/df-core/tests/

```
