Slim 3 API Skeleton

This is an API skeleton using Slim 3 with content negotiation, authentication, error handling, cache and performance in mind. Error and exception handling is already configured for you. Check config/dependencies.php file.

Content Negotiation

Content Negotiation is handled using a query parameter and the HTTP Header "Accept".

  • The default query parameter is "output" and possible values are ("json" or "xml").
  • If "output" parameter is not provided the HTTP Header "Accept" is used to determine which "Content type". If is not containing "application/json" or "application/xml" the default output will be "json".

This project use the following packages/components:

You can integrate any third-party components found on Packagist:

Run it:

  1. $ cd my-app
  2. $ php -S 0.0.0.0:8888 -t public public/index.php
  3. Browse to http://localhost:8888
