A simple, extensible REST API framework for PHP

Automatic content negotiation. No magic. No bleeding into your code.

// Define a controller endpoint
class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct(private IUserService $users) {}

    #[Post('/users')]
    public function createUser(User $user): IResponse
    {
        $this->users->create($user);

        return $this->created("/users/{$user->id}", $user);
    }

    #[Get('/users/:id')]
    #[AuthorizeRoles('admin')]
    public function getUserById(int $id): User
    {
        return $this->users->getById($id);
    }
}

// Bind your dependency
$container->bindInstance(IUserService::class, new UserService());

// Run an integration test
$postResponse = $this->post('/users', new User('Dave'));
$user = $this->readResponseBodyAs(User::class, $postResponse);
$admin = new PrincipalBuilder('example.com')->withRoles('admin')
    ->build();
$getResponse = $this->actingAs($admin, fn () => $this->get("/users/$user->id"));
$this->assertParsedBodyEquals($user, $getResponse);
