Usage

phractico was designed with your precious resource in mind: time! ⌚

The phractico ideology involves fewer configuration files to get your PHP API working. The Bootstrap file concentrates the entire application configuration for controllers, routing, etc.

To introduce new endpoints in your API, you simply need to create a controller class by implementing the Controller interface and its routes method. Then, describe routing resources to their actions. Finally, map the new controller in ApplicationControllerProvider.php.

Voilà! 🎉

For examples, see ExampleController.

Database

Your database connection must be mapped inside ApplicationDatabaseProvider.php class, which is consumed by bootstrap file when application is initialized.

By default, phractico comes with a SQLite database adapter assuming database file is located at path /path/to/phractico/database/database.sqlite.

If you want to have others adapters, you just need to implement Connection and then mapping your new adapter in ApplicationDatabaseProvider file.

Container DI

phractico uses a dependency container to manage dependencies throughout the application. The container and its corresponding dependency mapping are declared in ApplicationContainer. During the application's runtime, the dependency container is injected into the application instance and then used in application bootstrap phase.

While phractico includes a simple container, it is designed to support any other dependency injection container that implements the PSR-11, such as PHP-DI.

Installation

Go fast with phractico and phpctl:

• Run composer

phpctl composer install

• Run a local server

phpctl server 8000 public/

• Perform an HTTP request to ensure everything works fine!

curl -X GET 'http://localhost:8000/example'

• Perform an HTTP request to ensure database connection works fine!
  • Note: sqlite3 PHP extension is required for SQLiteAdapter

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8000/exampleDatabase' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "test": "database"
}'
