Graphene \[Barium\] beta
========================

[](#graphene-barium-beta)

This framework allows you to create Action Oriented REST services with less lines of code, like this:

```
class HelloWorld extends Action{
	public function run ()
	{
		$this->sendMessage('Hello world');
	}
}
```

Install Graphene with composer
------------------------------

[](#install-graphene-with-composer)

Graphene is can be installed using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require graphene/graphene
```

after install you can bootstrap you application doing

```
cp ./vendor/graphene/graphene/_installation/* .
```

this command extracts from downloaded graphene library:

- **index.php** Contains simple graphene launcher
- **settings.php** Contains basic settings for logging and persistence
- **cli.php** Simple CLI adapter for graphene
- **.htaccess** Apache file with url rewriting and redirecting to `index.php`
- **web.config** same with `.htaccess`, for windows ISS

Graphene settings file

\[work in progress\]

Action approach
---------------

[](#action-approach)

Any http request to Graphene matches an "action". In graphene action mapping is quick and smart, ball actions are collected in separate modules.

### Defining module

[](#defining-module)

you can define your module creating folder in your moduleUrl, definded in [settings.json](#setting-up-graphene).

```
{
    "v" :  "0.1.1",
    "info": {
        "version"   : "0.0.0.1",
        "name"      : "com.profile",
        "namespace" : "profiles",
        "author"    : "Me [me@mail.com]",
        "support"   : "meMod.com"
    },
    "actions": []
}
```

in this case we have created a module named "com.profile", with "profiles" as namespace. this module does not have any action.

### Creating actions

[](#creating-actions)

now we can ceate a simple action "HELLO\_WORLD", mapping that on request *GET host/profiles/hello*you can add this action creating this entry in your module manifest:

```
{"name":"HELLO_WORLD", "query":"hello"}
```

and creating `profiles.HELLO_WORLD.php` file in `actions` folder like this:

```
namespace profiles;

class HelloWorld extends Action{
    public function run ()
    {
        $this->sendMessage('Hello world');
    }
}
```

### Model

[](#model)

Graphene supports model checking and storage *doc work in progress*

### Scaffolding

[](#scaffolding)

When you create a new module, we recomends this directory structure for your models and actions

```
_module namespace_
 +--manifest.json
 +--models
 |   |--ModelClassA.php
 |   |--ModelClassB.php
 |   |--Mod...
 +--actions
 |   |--namespace.ACTION_NAME_A.php
 |   |--namespace.ACTION_NAME_B.php
 |   |--namespace...

```
