FHP REST API (Master )

Description

FHP REST API provides an easy way to setup a JSON FILE based REST API., _(*1)

There are no dependencies to MySQL or other databases. All files will be stored as json files by default. Still you may also integrate your own way of saving data, by integrating your own controllers, entites and normalizers., _(*2)

I'm trying really hard to make this very flexible and at the same easy to understand, i hope you enjoy working with this., _(*3)

Installation

$ composer require rozbehsharahi/fhp-rest-api

How to

The following index.php is enough to provide PUT, GET, POST, OPTION, DELETE routes for your application on the /posts route:, _(*4)

<?php
use Fhp\Rest\Api;
use Fhp\Rest\Repository\JsonRepository;
use Fhp\Rest\Controller\FlexEntityController;

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

// Set json database folder
JsonRepository::setDirectory(__DIR__ . '/database/');

// Api call here
Api::create()
    ->activateEntity('post', FlexEntityController::class) // <-- use singular entity name
    ->run();

That's it!, _(*5)

How to use entity classes

(Still experimental), _(*6)

This way of using FHP REST API is still very experimental, so please used this with caution. For instance you have to define fhp property type annotations, though they don't have any impact on the way a property is saved yet., _(*7)

```php <?php use Fhp\Rest\Api; use Fhp\Rest\Repository\JsonRepository;, _(*8)

require_once('vendor/autoload.php');, _(*9)

// Set json database folder JsonRepository::setDirectory(DIR . '/database/');, _(*10)

// Api call here Api::create() ->activateEntity(My\Example\Page::class) ->run(); ```, _(*11)

Your entity class should look like this:, _(*12)

<?php
namespace My\Example;

/**
 * My Entity class
 *
 * @class Page
 */
class Page
{

    /**
     * @Fhp\Rest\PropertyType\StringType
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @Fhp\Rest\PropertyType\StringType
     */
    protected $url;

    public function getId() { return $this->id; }

    public function setId($id) { $this->id = $id; return $this; }

    public function getUrl() { return $this->url; }

    public function setUrl($url) { $this->url = $url; return $this; }
}

At the moment it does not make any difference which property type you will use. But it is a good preparation for next releases. You will still have to annotate with one of the following annotations:, _(*13)

@Fhp\Rest\PropertyType\StringType
@Fhp\Rest\PropertyType\BooleanType
@Fhp\Rest\PropertyType\IntegerType

Defining custom entity-controllers

You may also define your own controllers to handle model-requests. Just pass your controller's class name as the third parameter to $api->createModel., _(*14)

Please extend Fhp\Rest\Controller and feel free to override the basic actions:, _(*15)

public function indexAction($request, $response, $args) {}
public function showAction($request, $response, $args) {}
public function updateAction($request, $response, $args) {}
public function deleteAction($request, $response, $args) {}
public function createAction($request, $response, $args) {}

by calling $api->activateEntity like following:, _(*16)

$api->activateEntity(
    \My\Entity\Post::class,
    \My\Own\PostController::class
);

Super fast start without Apache

No apache, No MySQL, just make sure PHP is installed on your machine., _(*17)

Since FHP REST API is super independent you may start your server on almost any machine that supports PHP7+ (in future also PHP5.6+). Not even Apache is needed to get it started. Just change your directory to the projects root and go on with:, _(*18)

$ php -S localhost:8000

Start with Apache

In case you want to start FHP REST API on an apache server, please add the following .htaccess file to your project's root where index.php is located., _(*19)

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]

Security issues / CORS

FHP REST API has a set of default-headers that are defined in Fhp\Rest\Api. These headers also contain 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' => '*' which is a security issue depending on the project., _(*20)

Please make sure to configure your own header-settings when going to production., _(*21)

You may do this by following:, _(*22)

$api->setHeaders([
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' => 'http://my-specific-doain.com'
]);
