But Why? -------- [](#but-why) Put simply, the official app skeleton is very basic (and rightfully so). Platform, while replicating the official app skeleton as much as possible, distinguishes itself by a few structural changes, some pre-installed/configured libraries/plugins and some 'best practices'. Pre-installed packages ---------------------- [](#pre-installed-packages) ### PHP packages [](#php-packages) - [cakephp/cakephp](//github.com/cakephp/cakephp) to power the application. - [cakephp/migrations](//github.com/cakephp/migrations) - the official CakePHP migrations shell. - [friendsofcake/bootstrap-ui](//github.com/friendsofcake/bootstrap-ui) to Bootstrap\*-ify\* CakePHP. - [friendsofcake/crud](//github.com/friendsofcake/crud) to quickly get things going. - [gourmet/email](//github.com/gourmet/email) to better create/manage emails. - [gourmet/faker](//github.com/gourmet/faker) to generate fixture and seed data. - [gourmet/robo](//github.com/gourmet/robo) to run build or other tasks using [Robo](http://robo.li). - [josegonzalez/dotenv](//github.com/josegonzalez/php-dotenv) to easily manage environment variables. - [markstory/asset\_compress](//github.com/markstory/asset_compress) to handle asset compression, minification, etc. - [mobiledetect/mobiledetectlib](//github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect). #### Development dependencies [](#development-dependencies) - [cakephp/bake](//github.com/cakephp/bake) - the official CakePHP bake tool. - [cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer](//github.com/cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer) - the official CakePHP code standard sniffs. - [cakephp/codeception](//github.com/cakephp/codeception) the official CakePHP module for [Codeception](http://codeception.com) - [cakephp/debug\_kit](//github.com/cakephp/debug_kit) - the official CakePHP debugging tool. - [codeception/specify](//github.com/codeception/specify) BDD code blocks for PHPUnit & Codeception. - [codeception/verify](//github.com/codeception/verify) BDD assertion library for PHPUnit. - [d11wtq/boris](//github.com/d11wtq/boris) - [gourmet/whoops](//github.com/gourmet/whoops) to beautify errors and exceptions (only in debug mode). ### CSS/JS assets [](#cssjs-assets) Assets are installed using [robloach/component-installer](//github.com/robloach/component-installer): - [twbs/bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com) - [jquery/jquery](http://jquery.com) Get started ----------- [](#get-started) It is assumed that you have the following installed globally: - [Composer](//getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally) - PHP package manager If (or once) you have them all installed, run: ``` composer create-project -s dev gourmet/platform [app_name] ``` This will create the *app\_name* project folder and download all dependencies. Configure --------- [](#configure) Platform's configuration is broken into 'scopes': - application - asset\_compress - cache - database - dispatcher - email - error - log - paths - plugin - routes - security - session This makes configuration a little more organized (compared to a single file) and easily accessible using your IDE's fuzzy finder (try typing 'log' in the fuzzy finder, the first matching file should the log config file). *To reduce the # of requires, a build process should concatenate all these and use the resulting file in production. It has yet to be implemented.* ### Quick Tips [](#quick-tips) To enable `debug` mode without having to modify any file: ``` touch .debug ``` or use the `DEBUG` environment variable. Provisioning ------------ [](#provisioning) To keep things DRY and not re-invent the wheel, `ansible-galaxy` (the Ansible package manager) is used. To install the roles: ``` ansible-galaxy install --role-file ansible/requirements.yml --force ``` For more, read \[Ansible's official documentation\]. ### Local development [](#local-development) A `Vagrantfile` is included to make it easy to start a local VM using the Ansible provisioner. Modify it to suit your needs, but the defaults should be a good start in most cases. They assume: ``` Box: trusty64 Box Url: Memory: 512MB CPUs: 1 Synced Folders: ./ -> /vagrant (using NFS) ``` The `ansible` provisioner is the preferred method but if you don't have it installed locally, no worries. A shell provisioner will install Ansible on the VM and run the playbook. All you need to do is: ``` vagrant up ``` To manually run the playbook (after an initial `vagrant up`): ``` ansible-playbook ansible/provision.yml \ --private-key=.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key \ -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory \ -u root ``` Sometimes, running the above command will trigger the following error: ``` fatal: [default] => SSH Error: Host key verification failed. ``` In those cases, just make sure that your `~/.ssh/known_hosts` TODO ---- [](#todo) - Use [monolog/monolog](//github.com/seldaek/monolog) to handle all types of logging. See [\#2033](//github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/2033). - Add link to [capcake](//github.com/jadb/capcake) deployments. - Add link to [rocketeer](//github.com/anahkiasen/rocketeer) deployments. Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) Platform uses [semantic versioning](http://semver.org): > Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the: > > - MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes, > - MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and > - PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes. > > Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
