Anchor Framework Skeleton
=========================

[](#anchor-framework-skeleton)

> The clean, stable starting point for your next high-performance PHP application.

This skeleton provides the essential directory structure and entry points (`index.php`, `dock`) to build a modern application using the **Anchor Framework**.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

Anchor supports two primary installation workflows. Both start by running the `dock` tool.

### Managed Mode (Recommended)

[](#managed-mode-recommended)

Standard composer-based setup for modern development.

```
composer create-project beniyke/anchor-skeleton my-app
cd my-app
php dock
```

### Standalone Mode (Portable)

[](#standalone-mode-portable)

Zero-dependency, portable setup. Download this repository and run:

```
php dock
```

Setup & Initialization
--------------------------

[](#setup--initialization)

After the initial installation, complete these steps to prepare your application:

### Environment Configuration

[](#environment-configuration)

Copy the example environment file and configure your application settings (App Name, URL, Database, etc.):

```
cp .env.example .env
```

### Database Initialization

[](#database-initialization)

Run the core migrations to create essential application tables:

```
php dock migration:run
```

Maintenance
-----------

[](#maintenance)

Keep your framework core and dependencies up to date with a single command:

```
php dock anchor:update
```

It intelligently handles both Managed (Composer) and Standalone (Hydrated) installations.

Core Requirements
-----------------

[](#core-requirements)

- **PHP**: >= 8.2
- **Database**: SQLite (default), MySQL 8.0+, or PostgreSQL 15+
- **Extensions**: PDO, Mbstring, OpenSSL, Ctype, JSON, BCMath, cURL, ZipArchive

Documentation
