REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by this application template that your Web server supports PHP 5.4.0. Additional packages required are marked in the composer.json file., _(*3)

INSTALLATION

Download the latest release or the zipped master source code from api-builder into a directory named api-builder that is directly under the Web root., _(*4)

Run a command prompt in that directory and type:, _(*5)

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0"
composer install

NOTE: If you do not have Composer, you may install it by following the instructions at getcomposer.org., _(*6)

This will fetch all the required packages and save them in your vendor folder., _(*7)

You can then access the application through the following URL:, _(*8)

http://localhost/api-builder/web/

NOTE: For having recommendation features in the API views, Elasticsearch should be installed from here., _(*9)

CONFIGURATION

Database

Create a file config/db.php with real data, for example:, _(*10)

return [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=apiBuilder',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '1234',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
];

Or rename the dbSample.php with your actual data., _(*11)

Then, open a terminal and run, _(*12)

yii migrate

to make all the tables in the database., _(*13)

Also check and edit the other files in the config/ directory to customize your application. If your website is different than http://localhost/api-builder/ , you need to update the url property of the js file in /web/js/swagger/site.js ., _(*14)

At last, you need to rename the /web/indexSample.php to /web/index.php for the application to work and comment out the environment lines if you are in production environment., _(*15)

Elasticsearch

This request should be made to create the 'api-builder' index:, _(*16)

curl -XPUT http://127.0.0.1:9200/api-builder
curl -XPOST http://127.0.0.1:9200/api-builder/_close

Recommended setting setup:, _(*17)

curl -XPUT 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/api-builder/_settings' -d

         "index": {

                             "synonym_filter",
                             "stop_filter",
                             "stem_filter"
                         ],
                         "char_filter": [
                             "html_strip"
                         ]
                     }
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }'
