Expressive API Example

A little example of how to build fast, small APIs using Expressive and Doctrine.

It includes:

• Hal Responses
• Hydrators
• Doctrine ORM
• Problem Details Responses

Console Tool

In the ./bin directory there's a console.php script which provides a few commands. You can also use the Doctrine ORM commands from this console script!

• cache:clear - clears the config cache.

How To Install

1. You'll want to clone this repo:

$ git clone git@github.com:nic-d/expressive-api-example.git ~/my_directory

2. You'll then need to install composer dependencies, so:

$ composer install

3. You'll also need to create a .env file, and add your db details:

$ cp .env.dist .env

4. Now just run this command to set up the db schema:

$ php ./bin/console.php orm:schema-tool:update --force

5. That's pretty much it.
