Getting started

Requires Composer and PHP 7.4 or later.

composer serve

Then open http://localhost:4000.

Local development

You can use the following patch to stub the database and render some of the response UI locally.

# src/App.php
    protected function openDB($host, $dbname = null) {
        // @phan-suppress-next-line PhanTypeMismatchReturn
        return new class() {
            public function prepare(string $query) {
                return new class() {
                    public function bindParam() {
                    }
                    public function execute() {
                    }
                    public function fetchAll() {
                        return [];
                    }
                };
            }
        };
    }
