vvandenschrieck/restapi repository overview

⁠docker-restapi

Based on the image greyltc/lamp, this image sets up a container running a simple REST API in PHP.

⁠REST API

The REST API provides CRUD operations on a mysql database. Resources are mapped into mysql tables. This code is taken from https://www.leaseweb.com/labs/2015/10/creating-a-simple-rest-api-in-php/⁠

Warning : This REST API is for prototyping only! It uses plain HTTP and does not support authentication nor any security feature!

⁠Usage

⁠Running the container

docker run -p80:80 --name restapi -d vvandenschrieck/restapi:latest

⁠Testing the API

In the database provided in the image, a single table is available : HUMIDITY(humidity_value:float, stream_value_time:bigint).

To get all data recorded in this table (GET): navigate to http://<hostname>/api.php/HUMIDITY To insert data using curl (POST) : curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "{"humidity_value": "40.82617","stream_value_time": "1521578771526"}" http:///api.php/HUMIDITY/

⁠To personalize this example :

Start by forking this Github repository, then :

• Change database structure in setupMysqlDB.sh
• Improve REST API by editing the script www/api.php
