Catpaw Starter
==============

[](#catpaw-starter)

You can run your program in one of three modes.

Development Mode
================

[](#development-mode)

Enter Development Mode with

```
make dev
```

This mode will run your program with [XDebug](https://xdebug.org) enabled.

Note

See [section Debugging with VSCode](#debugging-with-vscode)

Watch Mode
==========

[](#watch-mode)

Enter Watch Mode with

```
make watch
```

This mode will run your program with [XDebug](https://xdebug.org) enabled and it will restart your program every time you make a change to your source code.

Note

See [section Debugging with VSCode](#debugging-with-vscode)

Note

By default "source code" means the "src" directory.
You can change this configuration in your [makefile](./makefile), see section `watch`, parameter `resources`.

Production Mode
===============

[](#production-mode)

Enter Production Mode with

```
make start
```

It's just as it sounds, run your program directly.
No debuggers, not extra overhead.

Build
=====

[](#build)

It is possible, but no required, to bundle your program into a single `.phar` file with

```
make build
```

The building process can be configured inside the `build.ini` file.

After building your application, you can simply run it using

```
php out/app.phar

```

The resulting `.phar` will include the following directories

- `src`
- `vendor`
- `.build-cache` (created at build time)

It's a portable bundle, you just need to make sure php is installed on whatever machine you're trying to run it on.

Debugging with VSCode
=====================

[](#debugging-with-vscode)

Install xdebug

```
apt install php8.3-xdebug
```

Configure your `.vscode/launch.json`

```
{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Listen",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "port": 9003
        }
    ]
}
```

Start debugging.
