cp .env.example .env
chmod 777 -R runtime/
chmod 777 -R web/uploads/
php yii migrate
php yii generate/key # optional 

Now you should be able to access the application through the following URL, assuming rest-api is the directory directly under the Web root.

http://localhost/<rest-api>/web/

Install from GitHub

Accessing Use this template Create a new repository from yii2-rest-api

git clone xxxx
cd <rest-api>
cp .env.example .env
chmod 777 -R runtime/
chmod 777 -R web/uploads/
php yii migrate
php yii generate/key # optional 

You can then access the application through the following URL:

http://localhost/<rest-api>/web/

Install with Docker

Update your vendor packages

docker-compose run --rm php composer update --prefer-dist

Run the installation triggers (creating cookie validation code)

docker-compose run --rm php composer install    

Start the container

docker-compose up -d

You can then access the application through the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000

NOTES:

• Minimum required Docker engine version 17.04 for development (see Performance tuning for volume mounts)
• The default configuration uses a host-volume in your home directory .docker-composer for composer caches

Check out the packages

• yiithings/yii2-doten
• sizeg/yii2-jwt
• yiier/yii2-helpers

Use

At this time, you have a RESTful API server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000. It provides the following endpoints:

• GET /health-check: a health check service provided for health checking purpose (needed when implementing a server cluster)
• POST /v1/join: create a user
• POST /v1/login: authenticates a user and generates a JWT
• POST /v1/refresh-token: refresh a JWT

Try the URL http://localhost:8000/health-check in a browser, and you should see something like {"code":0,"data":"OK","message":"成功"} displayed.

If you have cURL or some API client tools (e.g. Postman), you may try the following more complex scenarios:

# create a user via: POST /v1/join
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"demo","email":"demo@email.com","password":"pass123"}' http://localhost:8000/v1/join
# should return like: {"code":0,"data":{"username":"demo","email":"demo@email.com","status":1,"created_at":"2020-07-18T16:38:11+08:00","updated_at":"2020-07-18T16:38:11+08:00","id":17},"message":"成功"}

# authenticate the user via: POST /v1/login
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username": "demo", "password": "pass123"}' http://localhost:8000/v1/login
# should return like: {"code":0,"data":{"user":{"id":4,"username":"dem211o1","avatar":"","email":"de21mo1@mail.com","status":1,"created_at":"2020-07-17T23:49:39+08:00","updated_at":"2020-07-17T23:49:39+08:00"},"token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsImp0aSI6IllpaS1SRVNULUFQSSJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwOlwvXC9sb2NhbGhvc3QiLCJqdGkiOiJZaWktUkVTVC1BUEkiLCJpYXQiOjE1OTUwNjQ5NzIsImV4cCI6MTU5NTMyNDE3MiwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJkZW0yMTFvMSIsImlkIjo0fQ.y2NSVQe-TQ08RnXnF-o55h905G9WHo6GYHNaUWlKjDE"},"message":"成功"}
