It includes: - An admin login system and control panel (styled mostly using Bootstrap) - A very basic user authentication system allowing for sign up/log in/log out with users coming from a database. - A console application allowing quick and easy development of console tasks Screenshot ---------- [](#screenshot) [![Admin Homepage](https://github.com/deanc/silex-starter-pack/raw/master/screenshot.png)](https://github.com/deanc/silex-starter-pack/raw/master/screenshot.png) Installation ------------ [](#installation) - Create your project by typing the following command: ``` composer create-project deanc/silex-starter-pack your-project-name dev-master ``` - Decide on your any namespaces you are going to want to autoload and create the relevent directory structure under the `src` directory. - Open up composer.json and adjust the `autoload` section to load your new namespace. An example would be: ``` ,"autoload": { "psr-0": { "DC\\SilexStarterPack": "src/" ,"YourName\\SomeProjectName" : "src/" } } ``` - Copy `app/config.default.php` to a new file in the same directory called `app/config.php` and fill in the configuration values. - Run `composer install` - Set up your vhost: #### Build in PHP web-server quick start instructions: [](#build-in-php-web-server-quick-start-instructions) Navigate into the web directory and type `php -S 127.0.0.1:8080` \####Apache instructions: ``` ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com DocumentRoot "/Users/deanclatworthy/Projects/silex-starter-pack/web" Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php [QSA,L] ServerName ssp.dev ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/silex-starter-pack.dev-error_log" CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/silex-starter-pack.dev-access_log" common ``` (Nginx instructions coming soon...) - Go to `http://ssp.dev` or whatever you set up your vhost as and your basic application should be loaded. Admin Control Panel ------------------- [](#admin-control-panel) The admin control panel is located at `http://ssp.dev/a/`. If you want to add any new admin controllers add them under your own namespace such as `YourName\Project\Controller\Admin\Project.php` for a `Project` admin controller. Then mount it in index.php like so: ``` $app->mount('/a', new YourName\Project\Controller\Admin\Project()); ``` Bonus stuff ----------- [](#bonus-stuff) #### Twilio [](#twilio) If you want to use Twilio require their library: `composer require twilio/sdk` Enable the utility in `app/config.php`: `define('TWILIO_ENABLED', true);` Use it as follows: ``` $app['twilo']->send($from, $to, $text); ``` Reccommended Libraries ---------------------- [](#reccommended-libraries) - Pagination: "soup/paginator" - Mailing: "swiftmailer/swiftmailer" Author ------ [](#author) [Dean Clatworthy](http://deanclatworthy.com) ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance18 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity51 Maturing project, gaining track record 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.
