MID REST php demo application

November 16, 2020 ยท View on GitHub

This application demonstrates how to use the mid-rest-php-client in a symfony application to authenticate and authorize users.

Building and running with Docker

Requirements

  • You must have Docker installed in order to use the application.

Building the image

This step needs to be run only on the initial build of the application

First build the Docker image, by issuing the next command in the application folder

docker build -t mid-rest-php-demo:1.0 .

Running the Docker image

For running the previously built image issue the following command

docker run -p 8001:8000 --env-file docker.env -it mid-rest-php-demo:1.0

The application should start up in about 30 seconds

Accessing the application

For accessing the application go to the following url in your browser

http://localhost:8001/login

Now you can try to log in to the application using test numbers.

Running the application without Docker

Requirements

  • php >= 7.3, including curl, mysql, dom extensions
  • symfony cli tool
  • mysql server installed (or run it from Docker: docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw -p 3306:3306 mysql:latest)

Database migration

  • create database mid_rest_demo

    • CREATE DATABASE mid_rest_demo;

  • create user mid_rest_demo, with password mid_rest_demo

    • CREATE USER 'mid_rest_demo' IDENTIFIED BY 'mid_rest_demo';

  • grant the new user all privileges on the database

    • GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mid_rest_demo.* TO 'mid_rest_demo';

  • Run migration script

    php bin/console --no-interaction doctrine:migrations:migrate

Configuring the application

  • You might need to change the server name in DATABASE_URL constant in the .env file to match your sql server host

Running the application

Start Symfony in the project folder. Depending on how you installed it there can be different options for it.

If you have Symfony installed locally into your home directory then run it from there:

~/.symfony/bin/symfony serve

Or if you have installed it globally (or added it into your path) you can run it like this:

symfony serve

Accessing the application

Access the application from localhost:8000

Now you can try to log in to the application using test numbers.
