TESTAPI

REST API with Create,Read,Update functions. Using HTTP request methods GET,POST,PUT handled with Front Controller Design Pattern.

Tech

TESTAPI uses a number of technics to work properly:

• PHP - Especially suited to web development!
• PhpStorm - awesome php-based text editor
• MySQL - Fully managed database service
• phpMyAdmin - Handle the administration of MySQL
• Github - Version control
• Composer - Application-level package manager
• Postman - Backend developer's favorite frontend
• MAMP - Web server solution stack package, XAMPP for Mac users.

Installation

TESTAPI requires:

• PHP Version: 7.4.2
• MySQL database
• Composer

Steps:

• Install MAMP - XAMPP or launch your Apache and MySQL server.
• Generate the MySQL Database and table with the help of "sqlDump.sql" file.
• Rename the ".env.example" file to ".env"
• ".env" file should look like this in case if you are using MAMP:
  • DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 (localhost)
  • DB_PORT=8889 (MAMP uses this port as a default value, it might be diff in your case)
  • DB_DATABASE=Delocal (given by the sql dump)
  • DB_USERNAME=root (MAMP uses this username as a default value, it might be diff in your case)
  • DB_PASSWORD=root (MAMP uses this password as a default value, it might be diff in your case)

Dependencies:

• PHP dotenv - Loads environment variables from .env
• PSR-4 - Autoloader - Autoloading classes from file paths

Install the dependencies and start the server:

$ cd TESTAPI
$ composer install
$ php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public
