PHP API

SimplexAPI: Laying the Foundation

Introduction

We're embarking on the development of SimplexAPI, a new project aimed at simplifying API interactions. This initial phase focuses on setting up the project structure and defining the core components that will drive the API.

Core Functionality

The initial commit lays the groundwork for the entire API. While specific details are not yet implemented, the focus is on:

  • Establishing the project directory structure.
  • Configuring basic routing.
  • Defining placeholder controllers.

This provides a skeleton upon which to build the API's features.

Next Steps

With the project structure in place, the next step is to define the data models and implement the API endpoints. This involves:

  1. Creating database schemas.
  2. Implementing controller logic.
  3. Defining request and response formats.

Here's a simple example of how a controller might be structured in PHP:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

class ExampleController
{
    public function get(int $id): array
    {
        // Logic to fetch data based on ID
        $data = ['id' => $id, 'name' => 'Example'];
        return $data;
    }

    public function create(array $requestData): array
    {
        // Logic to create a new record
        return ['status' => 'created'];
    }
}

Conclusion

The initial commit represents the vital first step in building SimplexAPI. While seemingly simple, it provides the necessary foundation for future development. The focus on project structure and core component definition will streamline subsequent feature implementation. Begin by establishing a clear project structure; it will simplify future development efforts.
