Test REST API application on Yii2

###INSTALLATION###

Install via Composer

If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org.

You can then install the application using the following command: composer create-project --prefer-dist -s dev "githubjeka/rest-yii2" .

###GETTING STARTED###

After you install the application, you have to conduct the following steps to initialize the installed application. You only need to do these once for all.

• Create a new database and adjust the components['db'] configuration in environments/dev/common/config/main-local.php accordingly.
• Run command php init to initialize the application with a specific environment. Choose dev.
• Apply migrations with console command php yii migrate. This will create tables needed for the application to work.
• Set document roots of your Web server:

for rest /path/to/yii-application/rest/web/ and using the URL http://localhost/ for backend /path/to/yii-application/backend/web/ and using the URL http://backend-localhost/

Use demo/demo to login into the application on http://localhost/v1/user/login. See /rest/config/main.php for more info by URL

###Configuration for Apache### Add .htaccess to \rest\web

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
