[About phractico](#about-phractico)
===================================

[](#about-phractico)

🚀 Go fast with ***phractico***, a PHP micro-project designed to accelerate your API projects with simplicity.

```
composer create-project yknsilva/phractico
```

[Usage](#usage)
===============

[](#usage)

***phractico*** was designed with your precious resource in mind: *time!* ⌚

The ***phractico*** ideology involves fewer configuration files to get your PHP API working. The [Bootstrap file](./src/Core/Bootstrap.php) concentrates the entire application configuration for *controllers*, *routing*, etc.

To introduce new endpoints in your API, you simply need to create a *controller* class by implementing the [`Controller`](./src/Core/Infrastructure/Http/Controller.php) interface and its `routes` method. Then, describe routing resources to their actions. Finally, map the new controller in [ApplicationControllerProvider.php](src/API/Http/Provider/ApplicationControllerProvider.php).

*Voilà!* 🎉

For examples, see [ExampleController](./src/API/Http/Controller/ExampleController.php).

[Database](#database)
=====================

[](#database)

Your database connection must be mapped inside [ApplicationDatabaseProvider.php](./src/Database/ApplicationDatabaseProvider.php) class, which is consumed by bootstrap file when application is initialized.

By default, ***phractico*** comes with a [SQLite database adapter](./src/Database/Connection/SQLiteAdapter.php)assuming database file is located at path `/path/to/phractico/database/database.sqlite`.

If you want to have others adapters, you just need to implement [Connection](./src/Core/Infrastructure/Database/Connection.php)and then mapping your new adapter in `ApplicationDatabaseProvider` file.

[Container DI](#container-di)
=============================

[](#container-di)

***phractico*** uses a dependency container to manage dependencies throughout the application. The container and its corresponding dependency mapping are declared in [ApplicationContainer](./src/DI/ApplicationContainer.php). During the application's runtime, the dependency container is injected into the application instance and then used in application bootstrap phase.

While ***phractico*** includes a [simple container](./src/Core/Infrastructure/DI/Container.php), it is designed to support any other dependency injection container that implements the [PSR-11](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/), such as [PHP-DI](https://php-di.org/).

[Installation](#installation)
=============================

[](#installation)

Go fast with ***phractico*** and [phpctl](https://github.com/opencodeco/phpctl):

- Run `composer`

```
phpctl composer install
```

- Run a local server

```
phpctl server 8000 public/
```

- Perform an HTTP request to ensure everything works fine!

```
curl -X GET 'http://localhost:8000/example'
```

- Perform an HTTP request to ensure database connection works fine!
    - **Note:** `sqlite3` PHP extension is required for `SQLiteAdapter`

```
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8000/exampleDatabase' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "test": "database"
}'
```

[Tests and Quality Tools](#tests-and-quality-tools)
===================================================

[](#tests-and-quality-tools)

To execute all PHPUnit test suites, run:

```
phpctl composer test
```

To execute quality tools, run:

```
phpctl composer quality
```
