Catpaw Web Starter
==================

[](#catpaw-web-starter)

Install dependencies with

```
make install
```

Note

If you don't have [Bun](https://bun.sh) in your path, this step will install it for you.

Note

You can run `make clean` at any time in order to remove created directories and files.
Running `make clean` will **not** uninstall [Bun](https://bun.sh).

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

[](#watch-mode)

Enter Watch Mode with

```
make watch
```

This mode will run the Vite server and your server with [XDebug](https://xdebug.org) enabled.
Each time your make any change to your **server source code**, the server will restart automatically.

Note

By default "server source code" means the "src/server" directory.
You can change this configuration in your [make file](./makefile).

Note

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

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

[](#development-mode)

Enter Development Mode with

```
make dev
```

This mode will build the Svelte application and run your server with [XDebug](https://xdebug.org) enabled.
Unlike [Watch Mode](#watch-mode), your server will not restart when you make changes to your code.
This mode is useful for quick debugging.

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

[](#production-mode)

Enter Production Mode with

```
make start
```

This will build your client bundle and run your server without any debuggers or any other 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/server`
- `vendor`
- `statics`
- `.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.
