Example of RESTful API with Slim PHP micro framework.
This simple API allows you to manage resources such as: users, tasks and notes.
You can also read this README IN SPANISH.
Main technologies used: PHP 8, Slim 3, MySQL, Redis, dotenv, PHPUnit and JSON Web Tokens.
Also, I use other aditional tools like: Docker & Docker Compose, Travis CI, Swagger, Code Climate, Scrutinizer, Sonar Cloud, PHPStan, PHP Insights, Heroku and CORS.
More info about this project in my post: How to create a REST API using Slim PHP.
I implemented this API in this project. It's a todo list web app developed in Angular.

$ cd [my-api-name]
$ composer restart-db
$ composer test
$ composer start
In your terminal execute this commands:
$ git clone https://github.com/maurobonfietti/rest-api-slim-php.git && cd rest-api-slim-php

You can use this project using docker and docker-compose.
Minimal Docker Version:
- Engine: 18.03+
- Compose: 1.21+
Commands:
# Start the API (this is my alias for: docker-compose up -d --build).
$ make up
# To create the database and import test data from scratch.
$ make db
# Checkout the API.
$ curl http://localhost:8081
# Stop and remove containers (it's like: docker-compose down).
$ make down
