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 taurus
Taurus 
A simple, small, easy, etcetera, API framework.
Installation
With Composer (recommended):
Setup
Add a .htaccess file to your root directory, to redirect all requests to the file that should launch Taurus, for example:
Create a folder named application at root level. This folder will contain the API(s). The API folder must be named after it's version.
The folder structure should look something like this:
Usage
Run Taurus in your index.php file.
Each API version must extend the BaseAPI class.
To actually start using Taurus, you need to create Resources with end points.
Create Resources & End Points
All resources should be put inside the Resources folder in the appropriate API folder under application. The Resource classes must extend the base class Resource and have a main method (this is the default method called).
Below follows an example on how to create an end point named Example with two end points: Main (/) and remove.
Create Models for your Resources
All business logic should be put inside a model class. Models must be paired with exactly one resource file and have the same name, followed by "Model", and extend the base model class Model.
Taurus includes a database wrapper class, accessible through the class property database defined in Model. See Database for more information on how to use the database connection.
To connect to the database, you must first define and set the following constants in your config file:
kHostname: The hostname on which the database server resides.kDatabase: The name of the database.kUsername: The username.kPassword: The password.
Below is an example on how to use a model, based on the example above.
