A PHP REST API built with Slim

Slim Framework 4 Skeleton Application

Use this skeleton application to quickly setup and start working on a new Slim Framework 4 application. This application uses the latest Slim 4 with Slim PSR-7 implementation and PHP-DI container implementation. It also uses the Monolog logger.

This skeleton application was built for Composer. This makes setting up a new Slim Framework application quick and easy.

Install the Application

Run this command from the directory in which you want to install your new Slim Framework application.

composer create-project slim/slim-skeleton [my-app-name]

Replace [my-app-name] with the desired directory name for your new application. You'll want to:

• Point your virtual host document root to your new application's public/ directory.
• Ensure logs/ is web writable.

To run the application in development, you can run these commands

cd [my-app-name]
composer start

Or you can use docker-compose to run the app with docker, so you can run these commands:

cd [my-app-name]
docker-compose up -d

After that, open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Run this command in the application directory to run the test suite

composer test

That's it! Now go build something cool.
