Slim 4 Boilerplate

Hapify

This boilerplate is meant to be used with Hapify. To learn more about Hapify setup, please refer to https://www.hapify.io/get-started.

Stack

This boilerplate provides an API built with Slim 4, MySQL and Docker.

Get Started

1. Clone repository

  • Option 1: Clone and configure this boilerplate using command hpf new --boilerplate slim_php_tractr.
  • Option 2: You can clone this repository and change the project id in file hapify.json by running command hpf use.

2. Generate code

Then you need to generate code from your Hapify project using hpf generate.

If you want to see an example of a generated boilerplate, you can download this one.

⚠️ Important: For development purpose, generated files are ignored in the .gitignore. You should edit this file and remove the last lines before committing.

3. Run the API

This API should be used with docker and docker-compose.

3.1 Installation

Run installation scripts to create SQL structure and insert an admin:

Install dependencies

docker-compose run --rm composer

Start database

docker-compose up -d mysql

Wait about 30 seconds to allow MySQL to start properly before running the next line.

Setup database

docker-compose run --rm php php app/cmd/setup/index.php

Insert admin user

docker-compose run --rm php php app/cmd/insert-admin/index.php

You may need to change admin fields in file app/cmd/insert-admin/admin.php, depending on your user structure.

Or run all in one command

docker-compose run --rm composer && docker-compose run --rm php bash -c "sleep 30 && php app/cmd/setup/index.php && php app/cmd/insert-admin/index.php"

The login and password of the admin user is defined in file app/cmd/insert-admin/admin.php ([email protected] / admin).

3.2 Start server

To start the API, run this command

docker-compose up api php

Now the API is available on http://localhost:3000.

3.3 Insert development data

To insert randomized data into the database, run this command

docker-compose run --rm php php app/cmd/populate/index.php

3.4 Explore data

You can run PhpMyAdmin to browse database. Start the service by running the command bellow and go to http://localhost:8000

docker-compose up phpmyadmin

3.5 Use a front-end boilerplate

This boilerplate can be used with those front-end boilerplates:

3.6 Updates

If you need to update you data models and re-generate code (using Hapify, you should run this command docker-compose run --rm php php app/cmd/setup/index.php to update the SQL structure.

Please refer to Hapify Best Practices to learn more about Git patches within Hapify context.

Documentation

Once the API has been generated, open the file API.md.

Advanced Integration

This boilerplate includes the following modules

  • user sessions (sessions are stored in Redis)
  • users accesses management

Models interpretation

This boilerplate interprets Hapify data-models fields properties as described bellow:

  • Primary: Represent the MySQL Id.
  • Unique: Creates an unique index and throw a 409 in case of conflict.
  • Label: Allow partial match search for this field.
  • Nullable: Allow null value to be send for POST and PATCH endpoints. Also define the column as nullable in MySQL.
  • Multiple: Only used for entity relation for Many-to-Many relation. If also searchable, it performs search using operator OR.
  • Embedded: Only used for entity relation. It joins related entities in search results. Related entities are always joined in a read response.
  • Searchable: Allows this field in query params for search and count endpoints. If the field is also a DateTime or a Number, it adds min and max query params. It also creates an index in MySQL.
  • Sortable: Allows this field's name as value in the query param _sort of the endpoint search. Also create an index for MySQL.
  • Hidden: Hide this field from API's responses.
  • Internal: This field is not settable. For the POST endpoint, it guess a suitable value for this field. You may need to edit this default value after code generation.
  • Restricted: This field is allowed in POST and PATCH endpoints only for admins. An admin is a user with the field role='admin'.
  • Ownership: This field is used to allow the request when the access of the action is made by an owner. The value of the field is compared to the connected user id. For search and count endpoints, if also searchable, it forces to perform the lookup in the owner's documents.

Roadmap

  • Add a documentation of the generated API.
  • Add a population script that inserts random data in the database.
  • Ability to migrate data structure when running the setup script.
