how to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

```
# create the project
# make sure to point to the new remote afterwards
composer create-project bramdeleeuw/recipe-boilerplate ./myproject dev-master

```

configuration (with `.env`)
---------------------------

[](#configuration-with-env)

You can move the `.env.example` to a file named `.env`, the file should look like this (more infos at [https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/getting\_started/environment\_management/](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/4/getting_started/environment_management/))

**this method is recommended for database and environment configuration, because you can easily exclude it from version control**

```
# What kind of environment is this: development, test, or live (ie, production)?
SS_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE="dev"

# Database settings
SS_DATABASE_SERVER="localhost"
SS_DATABASE_USERNAME="USER"
SS_DATABASE_PASSWORD="PASSWORD"
SS_DATABASE_NAME="DB_NAME"

# Configure a default username and password to access the CMS on all sites in this environment.
SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME="admin"
SS_DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD="password"

# Make sure the command line knows what the site url is
SS_BASE_URL="http://example.com"

```

**now just run mysite.com/dev/build and you are done, no further setup required, you are ready to go**

how to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

This boilerplate is based on the assumption that the project will be a customized website/webapp. So you might notice there is no theme in the themes folder, the plan is to add all templates, javascript and css/scss into mysite. Which has the benefit of having the whole project at one place, not separated into 2 folders.

### file structure

[](#file-structure)

```
app
|-- src // your php code in here
|-- client // your frond end code goes in here
|   |-- src
|   |   |-- js // your js files and modules
|   |   |-- styles // your sass files and modules
|   |-- dist // compiled code
|-- images // project images
|-- templates // your templates, that others put into themes/mytheme/templates
|-- .gitignore
|-- .htaccess
|-- _config.php
|-- package.json
|-- webpack.mix.js
|-- yarn.lock

```
