Project Description
In this project, we'll create a microservice to serve information about different movies using CakePHP. CakePHP is an open-source web framework based on PHP. It is well known for its convention over configuration structure. We'll use its MVC (Model View Controller) architecture to develop our application. We'll use MySQL to provide database support in the application.
With our microservice, we will be able to retrieve and list all movies as well as update and delete movies. We'll also add features in our microservice to add a new movie, view movies' synopses and filter existing movies based on title and genre.
We'll start by setting up the database. Next, we'll go on to develop model, view, and controller actions for our application. Finally, we'll handle the routing. CakePHP provides some default styling, but we'll use both default and custom styling in the application.
