Simple Laravel PHP Rest API to store your bookmarks in your database.

##Try this API

If you don't want to develop or you already have laravel and composer installed simply go to step 5.

With curl:

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Without curl:

php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php

####2. Allow yourself to use composer instead of php composer.phar

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

####3. Make sure to place the ~/.composer/vendor/bin directory in your PATH Simply open ``~/.bashrc and add:

export PATH="$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin"

reload your .bashrc like: source ~/.bashrc

####4. Installing Laravel

Simply execute: composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

####5. (Fork &) Clone this Repository

git clone git@github.com:DominikAngerer/BookmarkerAPI.git

####6. .env File

Change the database attributes to fit your environment

####7. Execute php artisan migrate in the root of this application.

This will generate the whole database tables. You will then have a bookmarks, migrations, password_resets and a users table, but only the bookmarks table is currently in use.

####8. Starting this Laravel application

There are two ways for doing this. You can start your application simply by accessing a path like, if you have it uploaded on your local tomcat:

http://localhost/your-laravel-app/public/

But I would tell you to do it by simply execute:

php artisan serve

in your command line and visit: http://localhost:8000/.
