CodeIgniter 4 Application Starter for Developers
================================================

[](#codeigniter-4-application-starter-for-developers)

What is CodeIgniter for Developers?
-----------------------------------

[](#what-is-codeigniter-for-developers)

Get your CodeIgniter 4 with

- codeigniter4/translations
- codeigniter4/devkit --dev
    - friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer
    - phpstan/phpstan
- codeigniter/coding-standard --dev
- phpunit/phpunit --dev
- git pre-commit hook
- Composer scripts
    - analyze
    - cs
    - cs-fix
    - install-git-hooks

Installation & updates
--------------------------

[](#installation--updates)

`composer create-project dasua/codeigniter-4-appstarter-for-developers` 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!

Server Requirements
-------------------

[](#server-requirements)

PHP version 7.4 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)
