Authentication_API

7th Semester mini project(group)

Description: Basic user authentication REST API with vanilla PHP and MySQL

front-end

Contains front-end files which are just for demonstrating the API. You will want much more tighter validation when using for other than personal use.

api/users

Contains core files responsible for authenticating user and CRUD operations

For example calls to the API using AJAX, please refer main.js file in front-end

config

Contains database.php file which is responsible for database connectivity

models

Does all the heavy lifting by directly interacting with the database. Contains user.php file which provides an interface between database and other files.

Example response from API

{
    "response code": "200",
    "message": "Data successfully fetched!",
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "1",
            "username": "Mr Roy Sullivan",
            "email": "Roy.Sullivan@example.com",
            "password": "raiders1"
        },
        {
            "id": "2",
            "username": "Miss Ljudmila Bonn",
            "email": "Ljudmila.Bonn@example.com",
            "password": "light"
        }
    ]
}

Explanation for each response field:

• response code: API's response code to notify you about the opration's success/failure(refer here for all HTTP response codes)
• message: Message from API indicating the success/failure of the operation
• data: response data in JSON format

Notes:

• Response might be different for different operation. Displayed above is the response when you request all users' data from the API
• On registering a new user, the API response contains an unique 'id' field for that user which you will want to store associated with that user for future user specific interaction with the API
