Slim Gateway
============

[](#slim-gateway)

Take the boilerplate out of your day. Need a simple API to insert data into SQL Tables? This is for you.

Setup
=====

[](#setup)

- Change the contents of `config/db.env.php` to connect to your database
- To define your resources:
    - Create Validators in `config/validators.php`
    - Create a Gateway and Controller entry in `config/db.php`
    - Define your routes in `config/routes.php`
    - Run the users migration `composer migrate:users`

Install
=======

[](#install)

```
`php composer.phar create-project geggleto/slimgateway [my-app-name]`

```

Validation
==========

[](#validation)

There is a cavet for validation. Validation will only take place on the initial data set, anything you add in via middleware is not available for validation.

Migrations
==========

[](#migrations)

- Add more migrations in the `/migrations/` folder
- Add a composer command to make running them easy!
- Make sure to add the composer command to the unit tests when you do then too!

Example
=======

[](#example)

### In `config/db.php`

[](#in-configdbphp)

```
$container['users.gateway'] = function ($c) {
    return new TableGateway('user', $c['adapter']);
};

$container['user.controller'] = function ($c) {
    return new EntityController($c['users.gateway']);
};
```

### In `config/validators.php`

[](#in-configvalidatorsphp)

```
$container['user.fetch.validator'] = function ($c) {
    /** @var $request \Slim\Http\Request */
    $request = $c['request'];
    $validator = new \Valitron\Validator($request->getParsedBody());
    $validator->rule('required', 'id');

    new \SlimGateway\ValidationMiddleware($validator);
};

$container['user.create.validator'] = function ($c) {
    /** @var $request \Slim\Http\Request */
    $request = $c['request'];
    $validator = new \Valitron\Validator($request->getParsedBody());
    $validator->rule('required', 'name');
    $validator->rule('required', 'email');
    $validator->rule('required', 'username');
    $validator->rule('required', 'password');

    new \SlimGateway\ValidationMiddleware($validator);
};

$container['user.update.validator'] = function ($c) {
    /** @var $request \Slim\Http\Request */
    $request = $c['request'];
    $validator = new \Valitron\Validator($request->getParsedBody());
    $validator->rule('required', 'name');
    $validator->rule('required', 'email');
    $validator->rule('required', 'username');

    new \SlimGateway\ValidationMiddleware($validator);
};

$container['user.delete.validator'] = function ($c) {
    /** @var $request \Slim\Http\Request */
    $request = $c['request'];
    $validator = new \Valitron\Validator($request->getParsedBody());
    $validator->rule('required', 'id');

    new \SlimGateway\ValidationMiddleware($validator);
};
```

### In `config/routes.php`

[](#in-configroutesphp)

```
$app->get('/users/{id}', 'user.controller:fetch')->add('user.fetch.validator');
$app->post('/users', 'user.controller:create')->add('user.create.validator');
$app->put('/users/{id}', 'user.controller:update')->add('user.update.validator');
$app->delete('/users/{id}', 'user.controller:remove')->add('user.delete.validator');
```

Unit Testing
============

[](#unit-testing)

`composer test`

Where to go from here
=====================

[](#where-to-go-from-here)

This is purely a backend solution. The next logical step might be trying to send out an email, or encrypt the user password. Both of these functions would be middleware when using this package.

Middleware is the perfect spot for running code before and after your data is persisted.
