Get started in 5 minutes!

Step 1: Install

composer require bitshost/php-crud-api-generator

Step 2: Copy 3 files to project root

copy vendor\bitshost\php-crud-api-generator\public\index.php index.php
copy vendor\bitshost\php-crud-api-generator\dashboard.html dashboard.html
copy vendor\bitshost\php-crud-api-generator\health.php health.php

Step 3: Edit index.php (2 lines)

Change config paths to point to vendor:

// Change this:
$dbConfig = require __DIR__ . '/config/db.php';
$apiConfig = require __DIR__ . '/config/api.php';

// To this:
$dbConfig = require __DIR__ . '/vendor/bitshost/php-crud-api-generator/config/db.php';
$apiConfig = require __DIR__ . '/vendor/bitshost/php-crud-api-generator/config/api.php';

Step 4: Configure (in vendor directory)

notepad vendor\bitshost\php-crud-api-generator\config\db.php
notepad vendor\bitshost\php-crud-api-generator\config\api.php

db.php:

return [
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'dbname' => 'your_database',
    'user' => 'root',
    'pass' => '',
    'charset' => 'utf8mb4'
];

api.php - Generate JWT secret:

php -r "echo bin2hex(random_bytes(32));"

Paste result into api.php:

'jwt_secret' => 'YOUR_64_CHAR_SECRET_HERE',

Step 5: Run!
