FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package framework
QuikAPI
A lightweight, fast PHP microframework for building APIs quickly.
- Simple: Minimal concepts. Define routes and controllers that return arrays.
- Fast: Tiny core with zeroheavy dependencies at runtime.
- Modern: PSR-4, middleware, JSON-first, PDO-ready,
.envsupport. -
Productive: Built-in CLI to scaffold controllers/models/modules.
Requirements
- PHP >= 8.1
- ext-PDO (e.g., pdo_mysql)
Installation
Option A — Create a fresh project (recommended):
Option B — Use in an existing repo:
Then edit .env for your DB and CORS settings.
Quickstart (Dev Server)
Run QuikAPI on PHP's built-in server:
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8082/health →
Routing
Add routes in QuikAPI/routes.php:
Supported verbs: get, post, put, patch, delete.
Path params: /users/{id} → available in $req->params['id'].
Controllers
Controllers are simple classes returning arrays. Example:
Middleware
Global middleware is registered in QuikAPI/index.php:
QuikAPI\Middleware\ErrorHandler→ JSON error responsesQuikAPI\Middleware\Cors→ CORS headers / OPTIONS
You can also pass route-specific middleware in Router::add().
Database (PDO)
Configure in .env:
Use QuikAPI\Database\Connection::get() to obtain a shared PDO instance.
Security
Use QuikAPI\Security\Password for password hashing and verification:
CLI
Built-in simple CLI to scaffold modules:
This will append REST routes to QuikAPI/routes.php and create the controller/model.
Project Structure
Roadmap
- Symfony Console based CLI (route:list, serve, etc.)
- Request/Response interfaces and typed responses
- Validation utilities
- Auth middleware (JWT/session)
Support & Policy
- Branching: Default branch is
master. Dev stability via branch-aliasdev-master→0.1.x-dev. - Versioning: Semantic Versioning. Breaking changes only in major releases.
- Backward compatibility: No breaking changes in minor releases; deprecations announced one minor before removal.
