Getting Started --------------- [](#getting-started) ### Installation [](#installation) Install via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) to a `{$PROJECT_PATH}` of your choosing: ``` composer create-project aura/system {$PROJECT_PATH} ``` This will create the system skeleton and install all of the necessary packages. Once you have installed the Aura system, start the built-in PHP server with an Aura.Framework command: ``` cd {$PROJECT_PATH} php package/Aura.Framework/cli/server ``` You can then open a browser and go to to see the "Hello World!" demo output. Press `Ctrl-C` to stop the built-in PHP server. Additionally, you can run a command-line test: ``` cd {$PROJECT_PATH} php package/Aura.Framework_Demo/cli/hello ``` You should see "Hello World!" as the output. ### Run The Tests [](#run-the-tests) For testing, you need to have [PHPUnit 3.7](http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/) or later installed. To run the integration tests for the system as a whole, change to the `tests`directory and issue `phpunit`: ``` cd {$PROJECT_PATH}/tests phpunit ``` To run the unit tests for a package, change to that package's `tests`directory and issue `phpunit`: ``` cd {$PROJECT_PATH}/package/Aura.Autoload/tests phpunit ``` ### Web Server [](#web-server) To run Aura under Apache or another web server, add a virtual host to your web server configuration, then point its document root to `{$PROJECT_PATH}/web`. If `mod_rewrite` or an equivalent module is installed on the server, you will be able to browse without needing `index.php` in the URL. ### Remove the Demo Package [](#remove-the-demo-package) When you are satisifed that the installation is working, edit the `composer.json` file to remove the `aura/framework-demo` package requirement and then run `composer update`. System Organization ------------------- [](#system-organization) The system directory structure is pretty straightforward: ``` {$PROJECT_PATH}/ config/ # mode-specific config files _mode # the config mode to use _packages # load these packages in order default.php # default config dev.php # shared development server config local.php # local development server config prod.php # production config stage.php # staging config test.php # testing config include/ # application include-path directory package/ # aura-package libraries tests/ # system tests tmp/ # temporary files vendor/ # composer vendors web/ # web server document root .htaccess # mod_rewrite rules cache/ # public cached files favicon.ico # favicon to reduce error_log lines index.php # bootstrap script ``` Writing A Page Controller ------------------------- [](#writing-a-page-controller) Let's create a package and a page controller, and wire it up for browsing. We will do so in a project-specific way, leaving out the complexities of creating an independent package for distribution. > Warning: If you have not removed the `Framework_Demo` package yet, please [do so](#remove-the-demo-package) before continuing. Otherwise, your routes will not work correctly. ### Create The Controller [](#create-the-controller) Change to the `include/` directory and create a location for the example package and a space for our first web page ... ``` cd {$PROJECT_PATH}/include mkdir -p Example/Package/Web/Home cd Example/Package/Web/Home ``` ... then create a file called `HomePage.php`. Add this code for a bare-bones index action: ``` ``` ### Create The View [](#create-the-view) Next, create a view for the index action in a file called `views/index.php`and add the following code to it ``` ``` At this point your `include/` directory should look like this: ``` include/ Example Package/ Web/ Home/ HomePage.php views/ index.php ``` > N.b.: Technically you don't need a directory structure this deep. However, a structure like this makes it easy to add new pages as well as other support libraries without having to change the project organization later. ### Configure The System [](#configure-the-system) Now we need to wire up the page controller to the autoloader and the routing system. Change to the system config directory: ``` $ cd {$PROJECT_PATH}/config ``` Edit the `default.php` file and add this code at the end of the file: ``` ``` ### Try It Out [](#try-it-out) You should now be able to browse to the `/` URL to see "This is an example home page." ### Health Score 36 — LowBetter than 79% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity29 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
