doctrine-zf2-restful-api's Introduction

ZF2 Restful API with Doctrine Example

This is an example application showing how to create a RESTful JSON API using PHP and Zend Framework 2. It is inspired from [zf2-restful-api] (https://github.com/stevenalexander/zf2-restful-api) of [stevenalexander] (https://github.com/stevenalexander) Doctrine & PHPUnit is also enabled

Requirements

PHP 5.3+
Web server setup with virtual host to serve project folder
Composer (manage dependencies)

Creating the API

Get composer:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Create the composer.json file to get ZF2:

{
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.3.3",
        "zendframework/zendframework": ">=2.2.4"
    }
}

Install the dependencies:
```
php composer.phar install
```

public/index.php (for directing calls to Zend and static)

<?php

chdir(dirname(__DIR__));

if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server' && is_file(__DIR__ . parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH))) {
    return false;
}

require 'init_autoloader.php';
Zend\Mvc\Application::init(require 'config/application.config.php')->run();

public/.htaccess (for redirecting non-asset requests to index.php)

RewriteEngine On
# The following rule tells Apache that if the requested filename
# exists, simply serve it.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
# The following rewrites all other queries to index.php. The
# condition ensures that if you are using Apache aliases to do
# mass virtual hosting, the base path will be prepended to
# allow proper resolution of the index.php file; it will work
# in non-aliased environments as well, providing a safe, one-size
# fits all solution.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)(.+)::\2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{ENV:BASE}index.php [NC,L]
