Leaf API is a lightweight but feature-rich MVC framework built on top of leaf php. It provides everything you need to build APIs with Leaf, faster and simpler than ever before.
You can install Leaf API v3 with the Leaf CLI
leaf create <project-name> --apiOr for a more personalized installation, you can add --custom to the command
leaf create <project-name> --api --customYou can also use Composer if you don't want to use the Leaf CLI, although we recommend using the CLI for a better experience:
composer create-project leafs/api <project-name>Note that <project-name> is the name of the project you want to create, and that will be your folder name. You can also use . to install in the current directory.
