REST API IN SLIM PHP

Example of RESTful API with Slim PHP micro framework.

This simple API allows you to manage resources such as: users, tasks and notes.

You can also read this README IN SPANISH.

Main technologies used:

PHP 7, Slim 3, MySQL, Redis, dotenv, PHPUnit and JSON Web Tokens.

Also, I use other aditional tools like:

Docker & Docker Compose, Travis CI, Swagger, Code Climate, Scrutinizer, Sonar Cloud, PHPStan, PHP Insights, Heroku and CORS.

More info about this project in my post: How to create a REST API using Slim PHP.

I implemented this API in this project. It's a todo list web app developed in Angular.
