Server Requirements

• OS: Linux 18.04 (recommended)
• PHP: PHP 5.6 or newer

Installation

Create project

1. Run composer create project (for init new project) or update (for reload dependencies on new environment) via command line at root folder

• Create project

  composer create-project ngthuc/ci-composer

• Reload dependencies

  composer update

1. Create .env file same [.]env to set-up database

   Require project into another project

2. Run composer require project (for init new project) or update (for reload dependencies on new environment) via command line at root folder

• Require project

  composer require ngthuc/ci-composer

• Reload dependencies

  composer update

1. Move all files from /vendor/ngthuc/ci-composer/app/ to the root folder structure:

   root                          # → Root Directory
   └── vendor/
    └── ngthuc/
        └── ci-composer/
            └── app/
                ├── apllication/
                ├── public/
                ├── .bowerrc
                ├── .editorconfig
                ├── .gitignore
                ├── .htaccess
                ├── [.]env
                ├── bower.json
                ├── index.php
                └── license.txt

2. Create .env file same [.]env to set-up database

Usage

• Use Apache - MySQL/MariaDB - PHP (AMP) stack as a software (e.g., XAMPP/AMPPS/WAMP)
• Install AMP stack packages on Linux or Windows, and move project to root directory of Apache (e.g., www/) and use built-in web server (with PHP 5.4.0 or newer) via command:

  php -S <address>:<port> -t <YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER></YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER>
  # Example use this command on root directory
  php -S localhost:8000

Usage RestAPI

CodeIgniter Rest Server is available on package.

Step 1: Add this to your controller (should be before any of your code)

use chriskacerguis\RestServer\RestController;

Step 2: Extend your controller

class Example extends RestController

Basic GET example

Here is a basic example. This controller, which should be saved as Api.php, can be called in two ways:

• http://domain/api/users/ will return the list of all users
• http://domain/api/users/id/1 will only return information about the user with id = 1

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
use chriskacerguis\RestServer\RestController;
class Api extends RestController {
    function __construct()
    {
        // Construct the parent class
        parent::__construct();
    }
    public function users_get()
    {
        // Users from a data store e.g. database
        $users = [
            ['id' => 0, 'name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john@example.com'],
            ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Jim', 'email' => 'jim@example.com'],
        ];
        $id = $this->get( 'id' );
        if ( $id === null )
        {
            // Check if the users data store contains users
            if ( $users )
            {
                // Set the response and exit
                $this->response( $users, 200 );
            }
            else
            {
                // Set the response and exit
                $this->response( [
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'No users were found'
                ], 404 );
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if ( array_key_exists( $id, $users ) )
            {
                $this->response( $users[$id], 200 );
            }
            else
            {
                $this->response( [
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'No such user found'
                ], 404 );
            }
        }
    }
}
