##### A command-line tool to generate Javascript client-side APIs from REST PHP APIs

[](#a-command-line-tool-to-generate-javascript-client-side-apis-from-rest-php-apis)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This package provides a command-line tool for use either with the Laravel framework (as an Artisan command) or with the Electro framework (as a Workman command).

*TO DO: provide an explanation of the rationale behind this library and some usage examples.*

> **Note:** currently, this tool generates code for use with AngularJS 1.x, and it expects an Angular service called `remote` of type `RemoteService`.
>
> This requirement is temporary and it will be removed on a later version of this tool.
