Installation

Manual Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Aula72/wu_php_api_simple_framework.git

   or composer create-project aula72/malaika
2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd /path/to/files/clone

3. Install dependencies:

   composer install

Usage

Configuration

Rename .env.example to .env for database and environment settings. Edit the .env file for configurations includingDB_TYPE to choose a database type you're are intending to use forexample DB_TYPE=postgres for Postgres, the default database system is MySQL; set in .env the database DBNAME and the user password DBPASSW and other additionals database connection settings.

Create tables in your database.

Running the Application

Start a development server:

php -S localhost:8000 

Create your quick CRUD

Visit http://localhost:8000/auto-crud.php

A file name v1.php will be created containing all the necessary CRUD operations for your table.

Edit the index.php add include_once "v1.php" just be the line that has method_caller().

Now you can do CRUD on any table in your database by using the following endpoints

• GET /<table-name>
• GET /<table-name>?<column-name>=67
• GET /<table-name>?<column-name1>=67&&<column-name2>=90
• POST /<table-name>
• PUT /<table-name>?<column-name>=67
• DELETE /<table-name>?<column-name>=67

Forexample if we have a database that has tables/models such as products, categories and product_categories then our endpoints will be as follows

• GET /products
• GET /products?id=3
• POST /products
• PUT /products?id=2
• DELETE /products?id=5
• so forth

If the table products has columns like id, name, category_id, unit_price and quantity then the post request will be in the following format

{"name":"Ice Cream", "category_id":3, "unit_price":5.90, "quantity": 89}
