2 Installation Guide

For clients who need to set up their development environment locally, here's a quick guide to get started with common project setups.

Laravel Project Setup

Follow these steps to set up a Laravel project on your local machine:


                            # Clone the repository

                            git clone https://github.com/your-repo/project.git


                            # Navigate to project directory

                            cd project


                            # Install dependencies

                            composer install

                            npm install


                            # Copy environment file

                            cp .env.example .env


                            # Generate application key

                            php artisan key:generate


                            # Run migrations

                            php artisan migrate


                            # Start development server

                            php artisan serve

Node.js Project Setup


                            # Clone repository

                            git clone https://github.com/your-repo/node-project.git

                            cd node-project


                            # Install dependencies

                            npm install


                            # Set environment variables

                            cp .env.example .env


                            # Start development server

                            npm run dev

Important Always ensure your Node.js version is 16.x or higher and PHP version is 8.0 or higher for compatibility with our projects.

3 API Reference

Our APIs follow RESTful conventions and return JSON responses. Below are the common endpoints and their usage.

Base URL

https://api.globalwebix.com/v1

Common Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/projects	Fetch all projects
GET	/projects/{id}	Fetch single project
POST	/projects	Create new project
PUT	/projects/{id}	Update project
DELETE	/projects/{id}	Delete project

Example Request


                            // GET Request with Authentication

                            fetch('https://api.globalwebix.com/v1/projects', {

                              method: 'GET',

                              headers: {

                                'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',

                                'Content-Type': 'application/json'

                              }

                            })

                              .then(response => response.json())

                              .then(data => console.log(data));

Success Response (200) All successful requests return a JSON object with a "success": true field and the requested data.

4 Authentication

We use JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication across all our applications.

JWT Authentication Flow

Client sends login credentials (email/password) to /auth/login
Server validates credentials and returns JWT token
Client stores token securely (localStorage or httpOnly cookie)
Client includes token in Authorization: Bearer <token> header for subsequent requests
Server validates token on each protected route

Token Expiry

Token Type	Duration	Usage
Access Token	1 Hour	API requests
Refresh Token	30 Days	Generate new access tokens
API Key	Unlimited	Server-to-server communication

5 Database Setup

We primarily use MySQL for relational data and MongoDB for document-based storage. Below are the standard configurations.

MySQL Configuration


                            // .env configuration

                            DB_CONNECTION=mysql

                            DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

                            DB_PORT=3306

                            DB_DATABASE=your_database

                            DB_USERNAME=your_username

                            DB_PASSWORD=your_password

Security Warning Never commit your .env file to version control. Always use strong, unique passwords for database users and restrict IP access in production.
