ASPEN User API
==============

[](#aspen-user-api)

This is an API used to allow for user management using the ASPEN framework. Users can:

- Register new accounts
- Activate accounts
- Reset passwords via request
- Log in via OAuth2 or Session
- Update information (when logged in)
- Change their password (when logged in)

How to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

There's two parts: firstly install the package, secondly set up the database.

Installing the package:

```
composer require helllomatt/aspen-user-api

```

### Setting up the database:

[](#setting-up-the-database)

1. Navigate to the package `.../vendor/helllomatt/aspen-user-api`
2. In the root folder you'll find `db.sql`
3. Import `db.sql` into your database

### Code updates

[](#code-updates)

In your `index.php` file there are two changes that need to be made.

1. Add `session_start()` under `require 'vendor/autoload.php'` (if you plan to use session based auth)
2. Add `vendor/helllomatt/aspen-user-api` to the manager's `load()` array

After that, you're ready to use the API.

Running tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

Tests require an actual database connection.

Modify the `phpunit.xml` file to reflect your database setup for running tests.
