README

This is the "empty" template project using baseapi. Creating a new project with baseapi will use this as a starter template.

Quick Start

Create a new baseapi project "my-api" using Composer:

composer create-project baseapi/baseapi-template my-api
cd my-api

Copy the environment example file and start the server

cp .env.example .env
php bin/console serve

Your API will be available at http://localhost:7879. You can change host and port in the .env file.

Console commands are run using:

php bin/console

Git Hooks

This template includes pre-commit hooks that automatically check code quality:

PHP Syntax Check - Validates all staged PHP files
PHPStan Analysis - Static code analysis (if available)
Tests - Runs PHPUnit tests when core files change
Code Quality - Prevents debugging functions in commits
File Size Warnings - Alerts for large files

Setup

Hooks are automatically installed when creating a new project. To reinstall manually:

composer setup-hooks

Bypass Hook (Not Recommended)

git commit --no-verify -m "Skip pre-commit checks"

See .githooks/README.md for detailed documentation.

Dependency Injection Example

This template demonstrates BaseAPI's dependency injection system:

EmailService Example

The SignupController shows how to inject services:

class SignupController extends Controller
{
    private EmailService $emailService;

    public function __construct(EmailService $emailService)
    {
        $this->emailService = $emailService;
    }

    public function post(): JsonResponse
    {
        // ... user creation logic ...
        
        // Use injected service
        $this->emailService->sendWelcome($user->email, $user->name);
        
        return JsonResponse::ok($user->jsonSerialize());
    }
}

Service Provider

Services are registered in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:

public function register(ContainerInterface $container): void
{
    $container->singleton(EmailService::class);
    $container->singleton(UserProvider::class, SimpleUserProvider::class);
}

Configuration

Providers are registered in config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    \App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
],
