Symfony REST Api Sample with JWT and AWS S3

This is a sample REST Api application made with the Symfony 5.4 and JWT implementation and uploading files to AWS S3.

Requirements

PHP 7.2.5 or higher (PHP 7.3 recommended)

Composer 2.*

Setup

First clone this repository.

git clone [email protected]:alidevweb/symfony-rest-api-jwt-aws.git symfony_rest_api_jwt_aws

Install the dependencies.

cd symfony_rest_api_jwt_aws
composer install

Setup your .env.local file to keep your access and secrets private.

cp .env .env.local

Open the .env.local file and make any adjustments you need - specifically DATABASE_URL.

Setup the Database

Again, make sure .env.local is setup for your computer. Then, create the database & tables!

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

If you get an error that the database exists, that should be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.

Generate the SSL keys for JWT

php bin/console lexik:jwt:generate-keypair

Your keys will land in config/jwt/private.pem and config/jwt/public.pem (unless you configured a different path).

Start the built-in web server

You can use Nginx or Apache, but Symfony's local web server works even better.

To install the Symfony local web server, follow "Downloading the Symfony client" instructions found here: https://symfony.com/download - you only need to do this once on your system.

Then, to start the web server, open a terminal, move into the project, and run:

symfony serve
