php-typescript-api

Build a typed Web API using PHP and TypeScript

Disclaimer: This is not an officially supported Google product

This project:

• helps with data validation on the server side by providing fields or phpstan to define allowed request/response types.
• generates a typed API client in TypeScript.
• consists of a server (PHP) library, a client (TypeScript) library, and an example of its usage.

Usage

Server side (PHP)

• Install php-typescript-api using composer:

  composer require allestuetsmerweh/php-typescript-api

• Implement some endpoints for your API (examples).

• Define which endpoints your API contains (example).

• Define how the TypeScript interface for your API should be generated (example).

  • Run that script in order to generate the TypeScript interface file: php path/to/your/generate.php (example result)

  • You might want to run this script automatically when starting your local dev server, and check in your CI pipeline whether the committed TypeScript interface file is up-to-date.

• Have a publicly reachable PHP script that serves the API (example).

Client side (TypeScript)

• Install php-typescript-api using npm:

  npm install --save php-typescript-api

• Configure your API client (example).

• Use your API client to make requests (example).
