# Marmelab Microrest

Microrest is a Silex provider to setting up a REST API on top of a relational database, based on a YAML (RAML) configuration file.

Check out the [launch post](http://marmelab.com/blog/2015/01/05/introducing-microrest-raml-api-in-silex.html).

## What is RAML ?

[RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML)](http://raml.org/) is a simple and succinct way of describing practically-RESTful APIs. It encourages reuse, enables discovery and pattern-sharing, and aims for merit-based emergence of best practices.

You can easily set up a RAML file from [API Designer](http://api-portal.anypoint.mulesoft.com/raml/api-designer).

## Installation

To install microrest.php library, run the command below and you will get the latest version:

```bash
composer require marmelab/microrest "~1.0@dev"
```

Enable `ServiceController`, `Doctrine` and `Microrest` service providers in your application:

```php
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\ServiceControllerServiceProvider());
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\DoctrineServiceProvider(), array(
'db.options' => array(
'driver' => 'pdo_sqlite',
'path' => __DIR__.'/app.db',
),
));
$app->register(new Marmelab\Microrest\MicrorestServiceProvider(), array(
'microrest.config_file' => __DIR__ . '/api.raml',
));
```

You need to give the path to the `RAML` file describing your API. You can find an example into the `tests/fixtures` directory.

Then, browse your new API REST on the url defined in the `baseUrl` configuration of your `RAML` api file.

## Tests

Run the tests suite with the following commands:

```bash
make install
make test
```

## Demo

You can find a complete demo application in `examples/ng-admin`. You just need 2 commands to install and run it:

```bash
make install-demo
make run-demo
```

Play with the Silex demo API at the url: `http://localhost:8888/api`

Explore the API using [ng-admin](https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin) backend administration at the url: `http://localhost:8888/admin`
