Topic: FA REST API

Hello,

I noticed than someone has already developed REST API although I feel it is still not enough and it is still using old Slim Framework. I would like to develop REST API professionally using latest technology and well documented and well structured API. I believe FA deserve professional, well maintained, and well documented. If FA has a good and complete API, I think FA can grw to many direction, for example mobile, cross functionality with other product, etc.

I am trying to develop API a while back using Slim 3 FW and I have it in github: https://github.com/barbarian1803/FA_API_Slim3
If you are interested in developing together, feel free to fork and we can maintained API together.

Thank you.

Do let us know if you intend to make it free of composer.

Re: FA REST API

Composer is used only to download the main files of Slim 3 and no other dependency so if the main files have been downloaded, there is no need for composer.

Re: FA REST API

Will it not be better to include the SlimAPI files and do away with composer so as to make it self-contained?

Re: FA REST API

@barbarian I made my own API for FA. Which is very simple and I use it for inserting user accounts. With that we can extend to increase the functionality and also security .

Re: FA REST API

@barbarian the reason for keeping the Slim version on an out dated version was to maintain compatibility with PHP 5.4 which was desired by FrontAccounting users.

There is no reason that it cannot be upgraded, or maintained on a different branch, if the target PHP version is changed to say 7.x
