How do you set up PHPUnit unit testing when developing Directus extensions?

To connect Directus to a MySQL database, follow the steps given below: 

If you haven’t installed Directus yet, you can install it via npm or Docker. Here’s the npm installation method:

Directus uses environment variables to connect to a database. To connect to MySQL, you'll need to configure the ‘.env’ file in your Directus project. 

Edit the ‘.env’ file to add the MySQL connection details:

Before running Directus, ensure you have created the MySQL database. You can do this through MySQL command line or a tool like phpMyAdmin:

After configuring the .env file, run Directus to initialize the connection:

Directus will automatically connect to the specified MySQL database, run the necessary migrations, and set up the required schema.

When Directus starts successfully, you can access it via your web browser at

http://localhost:8055

. If the connection to MySQL is working, Directus will load without any database errors.

The Directus API is an advanced and flexible API provided by the open-source headless CMS and data platform, Directus. It allows developers to interact with structured content and data stored in Directus.  

One can manage, access and manipulate data through REST or GraphQL, depending on their needs, using the Directus API.

Directus has multiple default limits, like the The API's default limits on the amount of the items it can return in a single request is 100 whereas, the default limit of the number of queries per second is limited to 50.

Directus is written in JavaScript, primarily using Vue.js and Node.js.

Role scoping is a multitenancy technique in Directus that involves giving each tenant a role and setting each tenant's permissions in a project. Tenants are able to utilize separate schemas or share a single schema by using this.
