# DotKernel API
DotKernel API is a PHP skeleton app for building REST APIs using [Laminas](https://github.com/laminas) and [Mezzio](https://github.com/mezzio) components and implements standards like PSR-3, PSR-4, PSR-7, PSR-11 and PSR-15.
Dotkernel API is an alternative for legacy Laminas API Tools (formerly Apigility) applications, and is based on Enrico Zimuel's [Zend Expressive API - Skeleton example](https://github.com/ezimuel/zend-expressive-api).
> Live [demo](https://api.dotkernel.net/).

## Getting Started
## Step 1: Clone the project
Using your terminal, navigate inside the directory you want to download the project files into. Make sure that the directory is empty before proceeding to the download process. Once there, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dotkernel/api.git .
## Step 2: Install project's dependencies
composer install
## Step 3: Development mode
If you're installing the project for development, make sure you have development mode enabled, by running:
composer development-enable
You can disable development mode by running:
composer development-disable
You can check if you have development mode enabled by running:
composer development-status
## Step 4: Prepare config files
* duplicate `config/autoload/cors.local.php.dist` as `config/autoload/cors.local.php` <- if your API will be consumed by another application, make sure configure the `allowed_origins`
* duplicate `config/autoload/local.php.dist` as `config/autoload/local.php`
* duplicate `config/autoload/mail.local.php.dist` as `config/autoload/mail.local.php` <- if your API will send emails, make sure you fill in SMTP connection params
* **optional**: in order to run/create tests, duplicate `config/autoload/local.test.php.dist` as `config/autoload/local.test.php` <- this creates a new in-memory database that your tests will run on
## Step 5: Setup database
## Running migrations
* create a new MySQL database - set collation to `utf8mb4_general_ci`
* fill out the database connection params in `config/autoload/local.php` under `$databases['default']`
* run the database migrations by using the following command:
php vendor/bin/doctrine-migrations migrate
This command will prompt you to confirm that you want to run it:
WARNING! You are about to execute a migration in database "..." that could result in schema changes and data loss. Are you sure you wish to continue? (yes/no) [yes]:
Hit `Enter` to confirm the operation.
## Executing fixtures
**Fixtures are used to seed the database with initial values and should be executed after migrating the database.**
To list all the fixtures, run:
php bin/doctrine fixtures:list
This will output all the fixtures in the order of execution.
To execute all fixtures, run:
php bin/doctrine fixtures:execute
To execute a specific fixture, run:
php bin/doctrine fixtures:execute --class=FixtureClassName
More details on how fixtures work can be found here: https://github.com/dotkernel/dot-data-fixtures#creating-fixtures
## Step 6: Test the installation
php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public
Sending a GET request to the [home page](http://0.0.0.0:8080/) should output the following message:
{
"message": "DotKernel API version 5"
}
