It includes a minimal setup with core sections, a content builder, and an optimized DDEV workflow. You can install it directly from **Packagist** using Composer β€” cloning the GitHub repository is **not required**. --- βš™οΈ Requirements --------------- [](#️-requirements) Before you begin, make sure you have: - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) - [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) - PHP β‰₯ 8.2 - Composer β‰₯ 2.x --- πŸ—οΈ Installation --------------- [](#️-installation) Follow the steps below to create and configure a new Craft CMS project using the starter pack. ### 1. Create a new project directory [](#1-create-a-new-project-directory) ``` mkdir my-craft-site && cd my-craft-site ``` ### 2. Configure DDEV for Craft CMS [](#2-configure-ddev-for-craft-cms) ``` ddev config --project-type=craftcms --docroot=web ddev start ``` ### 3. Create a new project from the package [](#3-create-a-new-project-from-the-package) ``` composer create-project "developion/craft:dev-master" ``` > πŸ’‘ Always use the **Packagist package** instead of cloning the GitHub repository. ### 4. Follow the CLI setup [](#4-follow-the-cli-setup) During installation, the CLI will guide you through: - Database configuration - Admin user setup - Site name and URL - Initial environment setup --- πŸ”§ Environment Configuration --------------------------- [](#-environment-configuration) After the installation, open the generated `.env` file and ensure it includes the following values: ``` DISALLOW_ROBOTS=true CP_TRIGGER=admin ALLOW_ADMIN_CHANGES=true DEV_MODE=true ACTION_TRIGGER=actions ``` These variables configure the control panel trigger, development mode, and prevent indexing in local environments. --- πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Local Development --------------------- [](#‍-local-development) ### Launch the project [](#launch-the-project) ``` ddev launch ``` You’ll see a blank homepage β€” this is expected for a clean starter setup. ### Access the admin panel [](#access-the-admin-panel) ``` https://your-project-name.ddev.site/admin ``` Login with the credentials you created during the CLI setup. Once logged in, you can start building your site structure, fields, and templates. --- 🧩 Project Structure ------------------- [](#-project-structure) The starter pack comes with a preconfigured Craft setup: AreaDescription**Home Page**Single section ready for customization**Pages Channel**Fully working channel for standard pages**Content Builder**Includes 6 flexible block types for modular contentYou’re free to add, remove, or modify everything to match your project needs. --- 🎨 Frontend Development ---------------------- [](#-frontend-development) ### Building Assets [](#building-assets) When you have installed the project, you also need to install Node modules for asset building. 1. **Install Node modules** In the root of your project, run: ``` ddev npm ci ``` 2. **Work with CSS** Every time you work with CSS or make frontend changes, run: ``` ddev npm run dev ``` 3. **Explore other commands** You can view the rest of the available frontend commands in the `gulpfile.js` file. --- πŸ—‚οΈ Example Directory Structure ------------------------------ [](#️-example-directory-structure) ``` craft-starter-project/ β”œβ”€β”€ config/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ general.php β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ db.php β”‚ └── routes.php β”œβ”€β”€ modules/ β”‚ └── app/ β”œβ”€β”€ templates/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ _layouts/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ _partials/ β”‚ └── index.twig β”œβ”€β”€ web/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ index.php β”‚ └── cpresources/ β”œβ”€β”€ composer.json β”œβ”€β”€ gulpfile.js β”œβ”€β”€ package.json β”œβ”€β”€ ddev/ └── .env ``` --- 🧰 Useful Commands ----------------- [](#-useful-commands) CommandDescription`ddev start`Start the DDEV containers`ddev stop`Stop all running DDEV containers`ddev launch`Open the site in your default browser`ddev ssh`Access the web container shell`composer install`Install dependencies`composer update`Update dependencies`ddev npm ci`Install Node modules`ddev npm run dev`Build frontend assets in development mode--- ✨ Features ---------- [](#-features) - ⚑ Preconfigured Craft CMS 4+ setup - 🧱 Content builder with 6 flexible block types - 🧩 Working Pages channel and Home single section - 🐳 DDEV-based Docker environment for local development - 🎨 Frontend build pipeline with npm and Gulp - πŸ” Ready `.env` configuration for local or staging environments - πŸͺΆ Lightweight structure β€” easy to extend or customize --- πŸ“¦ Package Information --------------------- [](#-package-information) - **GitHub Repository:** - **Packagist Package:** Use the Packagist package to install the latest stable or development version. --- ### Health Score 19 β€” LowBetter than 10% of packages Maintenance50 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity15 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.1% of commits β€” single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** β€” Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
