Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Create the project using Composer

[](#create-the-project-using-composer)

```
$ composer create-project awurth/slim-base [project-name]
```

### Setup environment variables

[](#setup-environment-variables)

Copy `.env` to a `.env.local` file and change the values to your needs. This file is ignored by Git so all developers working on the project can have their own configuration.

### Download client-side libraries

[](#download-client-side-libraries)

```
$ yarn
```

or if you prefer to use npm

```
$ npm install
```

### Webpack

[](#webpack)

This skeleton uses Webpack to manage assets. The CSS and Javascript files are located in `assets/`, so you have to use Webpack after creating your project to generate the minified files in `public/`, which will be ignored by Git.

#### Generate assets

[](#generate-assets)

If you just want to generate the default CSS and JS that comes with this skeleton, run the following command

```
$ yarn build
```

or

```
$ npm run build
```

If you want to run a watcher and begin coding

```
$ yarn watch
```

### Setup cache files permissions

[](#setup-cache-files-permissions)

The skeleton uses a cache system for Twig templates and the Monolog library for logging, so you have to make sure that PHP has write permissions on the `var/cache/` and `var/log/` directories.

### Update your database schema

[](#update-your-database-schema)

First, create a database with the name you set in the `.env*` file. Then you can create the tables by running this command:

```
$ php bin/console db
```
