A simple silex skeleton application for writing RESTful API. Developed and maintained by [Alessandro Arnodo](http://alessandro.arnodo.net).

**This project wants to be a starting point to writing scalable and maintainable REST api with Silex PHP micro-framework**

Continuous Integration is provided by [Travis-CI](http://travis-ci.org/).

#### How do I run it?

[](#how-do-i-run-it)

After download the last [release](https://github.com/vesparny/silex-simple-rest/releases), from the root folder of the project, run the following commands to install the php dependencies, import some data, and run a local php server.

You need at least php **5.5.9**\* with **SQLite extension** enabled and **Composer**

```
composer install
sqlite3 app.db < resources/sql/schema.sql
php -S 0:9001 -t web/

```

You can install the project also as a composer project

```
	composer create-project vesparny/silex-simple-rest

```

Your api is now available at .

#### Run tests

[](#run-tests)

Some tests were written, and all CRUD operations are fully tested :)

From the root folder run the following command to run tests.

```
vendor/bin/phpunit

```

#### What you will get

[](#what-you-will-get)

The api will respond to

```
GET  ->   http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes
GET  ->   http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes/{id}
POST ->   http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes
PUT ->   http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes/{id}
DELETE -> http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes/{id}

```

Your request should have 'Content-Type: application/json' header. Your api is CORS compliant out of the box, so it's capable of cross-domain communication.

Try with curl:

```
#GET (collection)
curl http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -w "\n"

#GET (single item with id 1)
curl http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes/1 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -w "\n"

#POST (insert)
curl -X POST http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes -d '{"note":"Hello World!"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -w "\n"

#PUT (update)
curl -X PUT http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes/1 -d '{"note":"Uhauuuuuuu!"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -w "\n"

#DELETE
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:9001/api/v1/notes/1 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -w "\n"

```

#### What's under the hood

[](#whats-under-the-hood)

Take a look at the source code, it's self explanatory :) More documentation and info about the code will be available soon.

Under the resources folder you can find a .htaccess file to put the api in production.
