Configuration

FIRST OF ALL you need to edit the file .sshconfig.

configuration file

Edit the .sshconfig with the data of your SSH server access and data base configuration.

{
    "domain": "https://{mydomain.com}",
    "ssh": {
        "host": "{ip}",
        "username": "{username}",
        "password": "{password}",
        "path": "/var/www/vhosts/{mydomain.com}/httpdocs/",
        "folder": "{folder}"
	},
    "ftp": {
        "host": "ftp.{mydomain.com}",
        "port": 21,
        "username": "{username}",
        "password": "{password}",
        "local": "./",
        "remote": "/"
     },
	"database": {
		"host": "{ip}",
		"username": "{username}",
		"password": "{password}",
		"database": "{database}"
	}
}

configure local environment

Run de npm command prepare:local. This will edit the file inc/config.php with the .sshconfig data.

yarn prepare:local

configure remote server

Run de npm command prepare-remote. Install composer dependencies.

yarn prepare-remote

Disable the database connection

If your api don't connect to a database, you need to remove the require of the config in the file index.php.

//require 'inc/config.php';

Log System

All api call create a log file on /log folder. This folder must be created and with writte permitions.

/logs/apicalls.log

You can send traces to the log file from de routes by:

$api->log->insert ( $request->getUri () );

to disable the logs system remove or comment the line $this->log->insert($data); on app.php file.

Usage

Develop code on folder /inc

/inc
    /app.php
    /config.php
    /routes
        /index.php
        /user-add.php
        /user.php
        /etc..

Local server

Run npm task serve for development server

yarn serve

API Routes

Put all your API urls into the file /inc/routes.php

// inc/routes
<?php

...
$api->route('/', 'GET', require 'inc/routes/index.php');
...

If your app is on a folder (for example '/api') uncomment this line:

//$api->folder('api');

This will work for http://domain.com/api/ path.

In the /inc/routes/ folder make a induvidual file for the path function:

// inc/routes/index.php

<?php

return function ($request, $response, $args) {
	global $api;
	$html = '
		<h2>Routes</h2>
		<ul>
		<li>/</li>
		<li>/user/{token}</li>
		<li>/user/add/</li>
		</ul>
		';

	return $api->response($response, $html, 200, 'text/html');
};

This will return an HTML file for the path http://localhost:9001/

You can change the status response, for example to 404:

return $api->response($response, $html, 404, 'text/html');

And the header content-type:

return $api->response($response, $html, 200, 'application/json');

Queries to the database

Make the SQL queries in the routes files to the global object $api:

// inc/routes/user.php

<?php

return function ($request, $response, $args) {
	global $api;
	$token = $request->getAttribute('token');
	$data = $api->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE token='" . $token . "'");

	return $api->response($response, json_encode($data), 200, 'application/json');
};

This will return some data to the dummy api url:

// index.php
<?php

...
$api->route('/user/{token}', 'GET', require 'inc/routes/user.php');
...

GET or POST

You can do api call in GET or POST method:

// index.php
<?php

...
$api->route('/user/{token}', 'GET', require 'inc/routes/user.php');
$api->route('/user/add/', 'POST', require 'inc/routes/user-add.php');
...

To get POST data use the getParseBody() function:

// inc/routes/user-add.php

<?php

return function ($request, $response, $args) {
	global $api;
	$data = $request->getParsedBody();
	$sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO users (name, surname, email, phone, contact, token, ip) VALUES('" . $data["name"] . "','" . $data["surname"] . "','" . $data["email"] . "','" . $data["phone"] . "','" . $data["contact"] . "','" . $data["token"] . "','" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "')";
	$leadid = $api->query($sql);
	if ($leadid > 0) {
		$status = 1;
		$result["leadid"] = $leadid;
	} else {
		$status = 0;
		$result["error"] = "Not inserted";
	}

	return $api->response($response, json_encode(Array('status' => $status, 'result' => $result)), 200, 'application/json');
};

Mobile-Detect

Mobile detection for api calls is implemented.

{
  "require": {
    "slim/slim": "^3.0",
    "zguillez/slim-mobile-detect": "^1.0"
  }
}

So you can edit the response function on app.php file:

public function response($response, $data = '', $status = 200, $type = 'text/html')
{
	$response = new MobileResponse($response);
	return $response->withStatus($status)->withHeader('Content-type', $type)->write($data);
}

• https://packagist.org/packages/zguillez/slim-mobile-detect

#Templating

Mustache templates is implemented. You can load a template from the route file

$name = $request->getAttribute ( 'name' );

$html = $api->template ( 'hello', ['name' => $name] );

return $api->response ( $response , $html , 200 , 'text/html' );

The templates files are on folders /inc/views/ and /inc/views/partials/.

For more info check:

• https://github.com/bobthecow/mustache.php

Publish to production

If you have SSH access to your production server, you can publish and upload the api files to the server by a npm task.

yarn deploy

To install composer dependencies run the task prepare-remote.

yarn prepare-remote

You must edit the PHP path on the task prepare-remote at the file packaje.json.

'/opt/plesk/php/5.6/bin/php composer.phar update'

Tools

validateData

This function will check if a list of parameter are passed in POST data:

if ($api->validateData($data, ['name', 'email'])) {
	...
} else {
	//error: no 'name' or 'email' parameter
}

validateEmptyData

This function will check if a list of parameter are empty in POST data:

if ($api->validateEmptyData($data, ['name', 'email'])) {
	...
} else {
	//error: 'name' or 'email' have empty value
}
