API Skeleton
============

[](#api-skeleton)

A minimal project that allows you to quickly create a new api project based on Symfony using useful tools: `swagger`, `standard-version`, `php-cs-fixer`, `phpstan`, `phpunit`, `docker`, `xdebug` and my own `starting script`. It is ready to support debugging with Visual Studio Code - just look into `.env.local` ;).

### WHY?

[](#why)

### How to start

[](#how-to-start)

Create directory for Your project, get in (`cd {Your directory}`) and run command:

```
composer create-project pbaszak/api-skeleton . --no-interaction
```

(Everytime) Start local environment using this command:

```
bash start.sh
```

and voila! Your local environment is ready to development api app with useful tools.

**Check `http://localhost:8080/api/doc`!**

### How to use **Standard Version**

[](#how-to-use-standard-version)

If You don't have node\_modules directory run:

```
npm install
```

First release:

```
npm run version:first-release
```

`Major`, `Minor`, `Patch` version update:

```
npm run version:major
# or
npm run version:minor
# or
npm run version:patch
```

Push tags:

```
npm run version:release
# or
npm run release
```

Check `package.json` for understand what commands do.

### How to use **PHPStan**

[](#how-to-use-phpstan)

Main command:

```
docker exec php composer code:analyse
```

but, if You need to add errors to ignored:

```
docker exec php composer code:analyse:b
```

### How to use **PHP CS Fixer**

[](#how-to-use-php-cs-fixer)

```
docker exec php composer code:fix
```

### How to use **XDebug** in **Visual Studio Code**

[](#how-to-use-xdebug-in-visual-studio-code)

Create new file in Your project: `.vscode/launch.json`

```
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Listen for xDebug",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "port": 5902,
            "hostname": "0.0.0.0",
            "pathMappings": {
                "/app/": "${workspaceRoot}"
            }
        }
    ]
}
```

Uncomment environments in `.env.local`:

```
XDEBUG_MODE=develop,debug
XDEBUG_CONFIG=" client_port=5902 idekey=VSCODE client_host=host.docker.internal discover_client_host=0 start_with_request=yes"
```

Type `Ctrl + Shift + D` and run `Listen for xDebug`.
