Caxy Silex Skeleton
===================

[](#caxy-silex-skeleton)

Welcome to Caxy's Silex Skeleton - a fully-functional Silex application that you can use as the skeleton for your new applications. We use this as a platform for learning and experimentation.

This document contains information on how to start using the Silex Skeleton.

Creating a Silex Application
----------------------------

[](#creating-a-silex-application)

Silex uses [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to ease the creation of a new project:

```
composer create-project caxy/silex-skeleton path/to/install
```

Composer will create a new Silex project under the path/to/install directory.

If your application will serve static assets using the PHP built-in web server during development, you should add these lines to the top of `web/index_dev.php`:

```
if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server' && is_file(__DIR__.preg_replace('#(\?.*)$#', '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']))) {
    return false;
}
```

Browsing the Demo Application
-----------------------------

[](#browsing-the-demo-application)

Congratulations! You're now ready to use Silex.

To see a real-live Silex page in action, start the PHP built-in web server with command:

```
cd path/to/install
COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT=86400 composer run
```

Then, browse to .

Running tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

```
cd path/to/install
composer test
```

Getting started with Silex
--------------------------

[](#getting-started-with-silex)

This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your Silex applications.

A great way to start learning Silex is via the [Documentation](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/documentation), which will take you through all the features of Silex.

What's inside?
--------------

[](#whats-inside)

The Silex Skeleton is configured with the following service providers:

- [ServiceControllerServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers/service_controller.html) - As your Silex application grows, you may wish to begin organizing your controllers in a more formal fashion. Silex can use controller classes out of the box, but with a bit of work, your controllers can be created as services, giving you the full power of dependency injection and lazy loading.
- [HttpFragmentServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers/http_fragment.html) - Provides fragment rendering in templates.
- [AssetServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers/asset.html) - Provides versioned URLs of front end assets.
- [TwigServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers/twig.html) - Provides integration with the Twig template engine.

In development mode, these service providers support profiling and debugging:

- [WebProfilerServiceProvider](http://github.com/silexphp/Silex-WebProfiler) - Enable the Symfony web debug toolbar and the Symfony profiler in your Silex application when developing.
- [MonologServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers/monolog.html) - Enable logging in the development environment.
- [VarDumperServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers/var_dumper.html) - Integrates Twig and the VarDumper component.

Read the [Providers](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/master/providers.html) documentation for more details about Silex Service Providers.

Enjoy!
