Goals
-----

[](#goals)

The main goal of this toolkit is to **give you some nice and powerful features through a simple API**. We will make this package grow every time we encounter and implement some nice functions/classes/helpers.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require dwarvesforge/thorin

```

> You can install the [Thorin Visual Studio Code Snippets Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Dwarvesforge.dwarvesforge-thorin-snippets) to help you using the package.

Get Started
-----------

[](#get-started)

To start using Thorin you have two choices. The first is the simplier the second the harder.

### First solution

[](#first-solution)

Create the files/folders structure described bellow and start using Thorin with his full power right now:

- | .env
- | app
- |--- cache
- |------- views
- |--- config
- |--- lang
- |------- en
- |--- views
- | public (document root)
- |--- dist

### Second solution

[](#second-solution)

The second solution require that you set the various configurations by yourself if you need another folders structure. To do so, you'll need first:

#### Specify where your config files are

[](#specify-where-your-config-files-are)

First choice, using the `.env` file at the root of your project

```
T_CONFIG_PATH=/something/absolute/to/the/server/root/

```

Or by defining a constant like so **BEFORE loading Thorin**:

```
define('T_CONFIG_PATH', '/something/absolute/to/the/server/root/');
```

The default value for this config is `app/config/`

#### Changing the path of each modules individually

[](#changing-the-path-of-each-modules-individually)

To do so, you'll need to create some config files to override the default configs that you can find here:

- Application config : [`app/config/app.php`](doc/config/app.md)
- Cache config : [`app/config/cache.php`](doc/config/cache.md)
- DB config : [`app/config/db.php`](doc/config/db.md)
- Email config : [`app/config/email.php`](doc/config/email.md)
- Filesystem config : [`app/config/filesystem.php`](doc/config/filesystem.md)
- i18n config : [`app/config/i18n.php`](doc/config/i18n.md)
- Image config : [`app/config/image.php`](doc/config/image.md)
- **Path config** : [`app/config/path.php`](doc/config/path.md)
- Recaptcha config : [`app/config/recaptcha.php`](doc/config/recaptcha.md)
- Session config : [`app/config/session.php`](doc/config/session.md)

To override some config, simply create a file with the same name in your config folder and override it inside this file.

`.env` file
-----------

[](#env-file)

The `.env` file can contains a set of environment variables. Here's the file that document them:

- **Example** : [`.env.example`](doc/.env.example.md)
