What is this?
-------------

[](#what-is-this)

**Para** was designed as a simple and modular backend framework for object persistence and retrieval. It helps you build applications faster by taking care of the backend. It works on three levels - objects are stored in a NoSQL data store or any old relational database, then automatically indexed by a search engine and finally, cached.

This is the PHP client for Para.

### Quick start

[](#quick-start)

**Prerequisites**:

- PHP 8.1+
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/)

1. Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) and include `para-client-php` as a dependency. If you don't use Composer, you can copy the `index.php` file and the `src` directory to your project.
2. Add `erudika/para-client-php` to your `composer.json` file:

```
  "require": {
      "erudika/para-client-php": "1.*"
  }
```

3. Initialize the client with your access and secret API keys.

```
$client = new \Para\ParaClient('ACCESS_KEY', 'SECRET_KEY');
```
