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.

What is RAML ?

RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML) 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.

Installation

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

composer require marmelab/microrest "~1.0@dev"

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

$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:

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:

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 backend administration at the url: http://localhost:8888/admin
