Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/burus86/api-ddd-template.git

Install dependencies:

cd api-ddd-template

composer install

Rename filename .env.dist as .env and edit DATABASE_URL value with database parameters

Execute the following commands to create an empty database with the name specified in .env filename:

php bin/console doctrine:database:create

php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Execute the following command in order to dump fake data in database tables:

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Alternatively, you can either import the db-api-ddd-template-full.sql file, included in migrations folder, to create and populate the database schema, however this file might not be up to date.

Follow instructions to install a Symfony Local Web Server and then open a new tab with the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/doc

Alternatively, if you use XAMPP, open the URL:

http://localhost/api-ddd-template/public/api/doc

All API endpoints require a X-AUTH-TOKEN in header, with a value equal to field api_token in user table. Example: cU70Sbr0qKrUQHE0tw60XQVMwBP8hJrdRMY61xhX
