Content API

This API is an exercise to apply anti-corruption pattern along with practicing DDD.

1. Frameworks and bundles used

1. Symfony: 3.4
2. For caching, memcached is used.
3. Nginx
4. php-fpm

1.1. Architecture

Memcached is used to cache responses using the request information as cache key. Caching keys are being cached for 1 day only.

I used the default Symfony Memcached adapter. https://symfony.com/doc/3.4/components/cache/adapters/memcached_adapter.html

Cache keys are generated like using this formula sourceId_year_limit, from the request.

2. Installations

1. Setup project and containers:

   1.1 checkout the project

    git clone git@github.com:mnsami/content-api.git
    cd content-api
   

   1.2. copy parameters.yml

    make
   

   1.3. Start the containers and install dependencies

    make all
   

3. API Available routes

To make api request use http://localhost/v1/ as base url. i.e. http://localhost/v1/items

Name	Method	Scheme	Host	Path
get_items	GET	ANY	ANY	/v1/items
alive	GET	ANY	ANY	/v1/_healthCheck

I like to use make for my projects, hence below are some helper make commands

• make all: Start up the container services and install project dependencies.
• make composer: Install composer dependencies.
• make cc: Remove symfony caches.
• make clear: Delete vendor. cache, logs and library binaries.
• make lint: Lint all php, yml, json and composer.
• make phpcs: Run code sniffer to check styles.
• make phpcbf: fix styles.
• make tests: Run tests
• make coverage: Generate coverage report
