I've extracted it out into it's own package. Caffeinated Path allows the means to easily customize the default structure of your Laravel 5 application. This means you can take the default Laravel framework structure: ``` laravel5/ |-- app/ |-- bootstrap/ |-- config/ |-- database/ |-- public/ |-- resources/ |-- storage/ |-- tests/ ``` And configure it into something like: ``` laravel5/ |-- app/ |-- bootstrap/ |-- system/ |-- config/ |-- database/ |-- resources/ |-- storage/ |-- tests/ ``` The package follows the FIG standards PSR-1, PSR-2, and PSR-4 to ensure a high level of interoperability between shared PHP code. Quick Installation ------------------ [](#quick-installation) Begin by installing the package through Composer. ``` composer require caffeinated/path=~1.0 ``` Once this operation is complete, simply add the service provider class to your project's `config/app.php` file: #### Service Provider [](#service-provider) ``` Caffeinated\Path\PathServiceProvider::class, ``` --- Instantiate Caffeinated Path Application ---------------------------------------- [](#instantiate-caffeinated-path-application) First off, you'll need to use the Caffeinated Path Application instance in place of Laravel's Illuminate Foundation Application. Simply replace it within the `bootstrap/app.php` file like so: ``` $app = new Caffeinated\Path\Application( realpath(__DIR__.'/../') ); ``` The Caffeinated Path Application extends the Illuminate Foundation Application and adds the ability to customize the directories via the provided `path` config file. Now you may configure any of the base paths as you like! Though do note, that some paths require a little more setup than others: - [Setting a Custom Config Path](#setting-a-custom-config-path) - [Changing The Bootstrap Path](#changing-the-bootstrap-path) Read on to find out how to configure these paths, or use the above links to jump directly to any section. --- Setting a Custom Config Path ---------------------------- [](#setting-a-custom-config-path) If you'd like to move your `config` directory, provide the path as the second parameter when creating a new instance of the Caffeinated Path Application: ``` $app = new Caffeinated\Path\Application( realpath(__DIR__.'/../'), realpath(__DIR__.'/../system/config/') // Your custom config path ); ``` Changing The Bootstrap Path --------------------------- [](#changing-the-bootstrap-path) Caffeinated Path does not provide the means to change your `bootstrap` directory path, *because* it's a simply edit you need to make within the three following files (don't worry, it's nothing complicated): - `public/index.php` - `bootstrap/app.php` - `bootstrap/autoload.php` ### Step 1: Updating `public/index.php` [](#step-1-updating-publicindexphp) First off, you'll be wanting to change the following two `require` paths within your `public/index.php` file: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Register The Auto Loader |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Composer provides a convenient, automatically generated class loader for | our application. We just need to utilize it! We'll simply require it | into the script here so that we don't have to worry about manual | loading any of our classes later on. It feels nice to relax. | */ require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php'; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Turn On The Lights |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | We need to illuminate PHP development, so let us turn on the lights. | This bootstraps the framework and gets it ready for use, then it | will load up this application so that we can run it and send | the responses back to the browser and delight our users. | */ $app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php'; ``` ### Step 2: Updating `bootstrap/app.php` [](#step-2-updating-bootstrapappphp) Secondly, open your `bootstrap/app.php` file and update the relevant path to your application base: ``` $app = new Caffeinated\Path\Application( realpath(__DIR__.'/../') // Update this path ); ``` ### Step 3: Updating `bootstrap/autoload.php` [](#step-3-updating-bootstrapautoloadphp) Lastly, open your `bootstrap/autoload.php` file and update both the *Composer autoload* and *compiled class* paths: ``` /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Register The Composer Auto Loader |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Composer provides a convenient, automatically generated class loader | for our application. We just need to utilize it! We'll require it | into the script here so that we do not have to worry about the | loading of any our classes "manually". Feels great to relax. | */ require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Include The Compiled Class File |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | To dramatically increase your application's performance, you may use a | compiled class file which contains all of the classes commonly used | by a request. The Artisan "optimize" is used to create this file. | */ $compiledPath = __DIR__.'/../storage/framework/compiled.php'; ``` That should be it! Simply fire up your app to verify. ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
