Add the `serve` command to Flarum. This will allow you to start Flarum into the PHP development server via a simple command.

**This package is made for developers, it should probably not be installed on production servers. Use at your own risks !**

Install
-------

[](#install)

Use [Bazaar](https://discuss.flarum.org/d/5151-flagrow-bazaar-the-extension-marketplace) or install manually:

```
composer require flagrow/serve

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Enable the extension via the admin dashboard. You can then start the dev server from the Flarum root folder with:

```
php vendor/bin/flagrow serve

```

The command has the same options as the Laravel `serve` command:

```
php vendor/bin/flagrow serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=4000

```

You can check the help via:

```
php vendor/bin/flagrow help serve

```

This extension uses the [flagrow/console](https://github.com/flagrow/console) package to provide non-standard commands in Flarum. "Flagrow Console" is shown in the extension tab as well, but you don't have to enable it in order to use the `serve` command. See the [Flagrow Console README](https://github.com/flagrow/console) to see what else is available if you enable it.

Standalone usage
----------------

[](#standalone-usage)

If Flarum is not yet installed or you can't enable the extension, you can also use the router script directly:

```
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 vendor/flagrow/serve/src/server.php

```

Support our work
----------------

[](#support-our-work)

We prefer to keep our work available to everyone. In order to do so we rely on voluntary contributions on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/flagrow).

Security
--------

[](#security)

If you discover a security vulnerability within Serve, please send an email to the Gravure team at . All security vulnerabilities will be promptly addressed.

Please include as many details as possible. You can use `php flarum info` to get the PHP, Flarum and extension versions installed.
