`phpnomad/rest` is an MVC-driven framework for defining REST APIs in a way that stays agnostic to the runtime you plug into. Controllers hold the business logic, `RestStrategy` implementations wire them into a host router (FastRoute, WordPress, or something custom), middleware shapes the request before your logic runs, validations enforce input contracts, and interceptors handle post-response side effects like events and logging. By separating API definition (what an endpoint is, what it requires, what it returns) from integration (how it runs inside a host), you get REST endpoints that move between stacks without rewrites.

The package runs in production behind the REST layer of [Siren](https://sirenaffiliates.com) and several MCP servers and client systems.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require phpnomad/rest
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

A controller is a class that implements `PHPNomad\Rest\Interfaces\Controller`. Three methods describe the endpoint, and the container injects whatever services the constructor declares.
