This is an API developed in PHP meant to demonstrate a working model for an API Driven website and mobile application. The API utilizes a construction of functions in the url to allow more dynamic queries.

• Download the project from github
• Create a mysql database and user for the API
• Create a config.php file and define DB_HOST DB_USER DB_PASS DB_NAME
• Edit the makefile's MYSQL command to reflect those same values
• Type make data and the API is set up for basic tests.

The API is driven by the concept of sets of data. This comes in the form of the class ApiDataSet which determines functionality for large groups of data. Such as 'orderby' and 'first' or 'last'.

Each class determines its own functionality but must also implement the primary methods of the API,

• GET
• PUT
• POST
• DELETE

As the functionality of these methods is implemented per class, complicated sql queries such as joins may be used to create an instance. These are typically placed in the self::getInstance( $id ) function.

/member/ -- Will return all members, as nothing is specified.

/member/1 -- Will return the member with the id of 1

/member/orderby/age/DESC -- Will return all members but sorted by age.

/member/orderby/age/DESC/first -- Will return the olderst member.
