About

Rested Cats is a very simple Rest API for finding, adding, creating, updating and deleting cats.

I've used two libraries to build this.

For simple routing: https://github.com/Respect/Rest

And for some simple database abstraction: https://github.com/lichtner/fluentpdo

Installing

Clone project

git clone https://github.com/sebek/RestedCats.git

In project root, run composer

composer install

And also in project root, run the database create and seed script

php database/create_and_seed.php

Running

Use the built in server

php -S localhost:8000 public/index.php

Usage

There's just one resource, /cats/, and it supports GET/POST/PUT/DELETE

Use JSON-encoded parameters for POST and PUT

Form-encoded is not supported
