Slim Framework

Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.

<?php
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = AppFactory::create();

$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args) {
    $name = $args['name'];
    $response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");
    return $response;
});

$app->run();

Download & Install

We recommend you install the Slim Framework with the Composer dependency manager.

The easiest way to start working with Slim is to create a project using Slim-Skeleton as a base by running this bash command:

$ composer create-project slim/slim-skeleton [my-app-name]

Replace [my-app-name] with the desired directory name for your new application.

You can then run it with PHP's built-in webserver:

$ cd [my-app-name]; php -S localhost:8080 -t public
