More information can be found at the [official site](http://codeigniter.com). This repository holds a composer-installable app starter. It has been built from the [development repository](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4). More information about the plans for version 4 can be found in [the announcement](http://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-62615.html) on the forums. The user guide corresponding to this version of the framework can be found [here](https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/). Installation & updates -------------------------- [](#installation--updates) `composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter` then `composer update` whenever there is a new release of the framework. When updating, check the release notes to see if there are any changes you might need to apply to your `app` folder. The affected files can be copied or merged from `vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app`. Setup ----- [](#setup) Copy `env` to `.env` and tailor for your app, specifically the baseURL and any database settings. Important Change with index.php ------------------------------- [](#important-change-with-indexphp) `index.php` is no longer in the root of the project! It has been moved inside the *public* folder, for better security and separation of components. This means that you should configure your web server to "point" to your project's *public* folder, and not to the project root. A better practice would be to configure a virtual host to point there. A poor practice would be to point your web server to the project root and expect to enter *public/...*, as the rest of your logic and the framework are exposed. **Please** read the user guide for a better explanation of how CI4 works! The user guide updating and deployment is a bit awkward at the moment, but we are working on it! Repository Management --------------------- [](#repository-management) We use Github issues, in our main repository, to track **BUGS** and to track approved **DEVELOPMENT** work packages. We use our [forum](http://forum.codeigniter.com) to provide SUPPORT and to discuss FEATURE REQUESTS. This repository is a "distribution" one, built by our release preparation script. Problems with it can be raised on our forum, or as issues in the main repository. Server Requirements ------------------- [](#server-requirements) PHP version 7.2 or higher is required, with the following extensions installed: - [intl](http://php.net/manual/en/intl.requirements.php) - [libcurl](http://php.net/manual/en/curl.requirements.php) if you plan to use the HTTP\\CURLRequest library Additionally, make sure that the following extensions are enabled in your PHP: - json (enabled by default - don't turn it off) - [mbstring](http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php) - [mysqlnd](http://php.net/manual/en/mysqlnd.install.php) - xml (enabled by default - don't turn it off) ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
