composer will downloading dependency library automatically, and it will create a single autoloader.php and autoload all the dependency into our project.
This method will download the composer executive file. Actually I use that before, but we can move a little further, we can directly copy the executive file to our PATH directory.
> sudo mv composer.phar /usr/bin/composer
2. Create the Sample Project
There is a lot of great source from here https://packagist.org/
This command will create a sample REST PHP project for us.
> composer create-project laravel/lumen easyphprest
Go into that directory. This command will tell us a lot of useful commands.
> php artisan
Laravel Framework version Lumen (5.1.3) (Laravel Components 5.1.*)
Command to start the HTTP Service
> php artisan serve
Lumen development server started on http://localhost:8000/
Install and Configure MYSQL
After directly install dmz file on MAC, I start mysql as follow:
> sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start
Database configuration is in this place
>cat .env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=easyphprest
DB_USERNAME=easyphprest
DB_PASSWORD=easyphprest
Uncomments the configuration
>cat bootstrap/app.php
Dotenv::load(__DIR__.'/../');
$app->withFacades();
$app->withEloquent();
Create the Migration Database
> php artisan make:migration create_books_table
Created Migration: 2015_08_28_183001_create_books_table
This will create a file under database/migrations/
Something like flywayDB.
Run the command to start the migration table operation
> php artisan migrate
Error Message:
[PDOException]
could not find driver
Solution:
uncomment out the line in php.ini
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
The link of the source
http://ar2.php.net/distributions/php-5.6.10.tar.gz
After installation, switch to this latest version of PHP. It works.
> php artisan migrate
Migration table created successfully.
