Parody

Create a fully-featured test API with authentication included, zero coding required.

Documentation

The only requirement needed for Parody is Docker. Follow these instructions⁠ to get started setting it up for your system.

After that, running the following command will create a basic test API at localhost⁠:

docker run -it aschmelyun/parody:latest

The output of the server will be streamed to your console. You can prevent this by using the -d flag in the above command, and using ctrl+c will stop the container and bring down your API.

Technology

This is built with the help of a wide range of open source projects:

• Laravel⁠
• Laravel Blueprint⁠
• Laravel Sanctum⁠
• MariaDB⁠
• Alpine Linux⁠

Todo

Parody is still very much a work in progress. The following are features that are either currently in the works or planned to be added:

• Authentication layer with Laravel Sanctum
• Multiple project types set through an env value on the container
• Testable email notifications with Mailtrap
• Simplify Docker flow with a wrapper script
• Adjust amount of seeded database items through env values
