This is more than a framework, thus the word "scaffolding." Nucleus is a fully functional out-of-the-box web application. All you need to do is build your environment, define values in config/.env, run the database migrations and seeds, then your app is ready to go! The major components and relevant documentation are below: - Slim (framework) - Twig (templates) - Phinx (database migrations) - Eloquent (ORM) - Monolog (logging) - Respect Validation (validation) - Whoops (error reporting) - League\\Event (event emitter) - League\\CLImate (CLI output formatting) - Swiftmailer (email) ### Requirements [](#requirements) - PHP >= 7.1 - Composer - NPM - MariaDB 10.1.30 or equivalent ### Installation [](#installation) `php composer create-project chillem/nucleus [your-directory-name]` That command will create a new directory and clone Nucleus into it. Next you need to point a virtual host to the `public/` directory and ensure that `logs/` is writeable by your web server user. Fetch the required NPM modules: `npm install` Copy `config/env.dist` to `config/.env` and edit that file with all of your required configuration values. Next run the initial database migration to create the schema and populate some initial data: `php vendor/bin/phinx migrate -e development` If you want to insert the data that I initially use (some users and role associations) run the following: `php vendor/bin/phinx seed:run -s GlobalSettings` `php vendor/bin/phinx seed:run -s Users` `php vendor/bin/phinx seed:run -s Roles` `php vendor/bin/phinx seed:run -s RoleUser` Use the CLU utility to deploy the default template: `bin/nucleate build` Finally, update `composer.json` to reflect your application's details. ### CLI Utility [](#cli-utility) v1.0.1-beta introduces a new semi-experimental feature -- a CLI command runner. The first functionality provider is that of a wrapper around those CLI scripts provided by other packages. To run Phinx commands: `bin/nucleate db migrate -e development` To run PHPUnit: `bin/nucleate test` To run PHPCS: `bin/nucleate cs -n --standard=PSR1,PSR2 src/` `bin/nucleate csfix -n --standard=PSR1,PSR2 src/` Anything else is passed directly through to the command runner. Commands are defined in `src/Helpers/Commands` and extend the BaseCommand class. More information about commands can be found here: (Note: I have chosen to use the nomenclature "command" rather than "task" for the sake of consistency.) ### Contact [](#contact) Email: ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 41% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability 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.
