Shim for Slim Skeleton to run on Google App Engine

[![Latest Version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a94b3059fb5c9c82376f0a754285d1fa740436225892f5b2037dbd5165beb2c3/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7061636b61676973742f762f67726f746f6e2d7363686f6f6c2f736c696d2d6761652d7368696d2e737667)](https://packagist.org/packages/groton-school/slim-gae-shim)

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require groton-school/slim-gae-shim
```

Use
---

[](#use)

The shim expects a default [slim-skeleton](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Skeleton#readme) layout (and configures GAE to reflect this).

1. In your `composer.json` add a `post-update-cmd` update script:

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd": "GrotonSchool\\Slim\\GAE\\Scripts::installGAEFiles"
  }
}
```

2. Run `composer update`
3. Add `/node_modules/` to your `.gitignore`
4. Optionally, add `*.bak` to your `.gitignore` to suppress backed up prior versions of the GAE config files
5. Inject Google App Engine environment variables into settings:

    a. [Implement `SettingsInterface`](https://github.com/groton-school/slim-skeleton/blob/b03aae3a19f76cfe6e0e6c0150bc7624f0ccb15c/src/Application/Settings/SettingsInterface.php#L9)

    b. [Define the `SettingsInterface` dependency](https://github.com/groton-school/slim-skeleton/blob/b03aae3a19f76cfe6e0e6c0150bc7624f0ccb15c/app/dependencies.php#L14)

    c. [Inject the remaining dependencies](https://github.com/groton-school/slim-skeleton/blob/b03aae3a19f76cfe6e0e6c0150bc7624f0ccb15c/app/dependencies.php#L11)

    d. [Inject the project URL and ID into your settings](https://github.com/groton-school/slim-skeleton/blob/b03aae3a19f76cfe6e0e6c0150bc7624f0ccb15c/app/settings.php#L23-L25)
6. Optionally (but recommendedly), suppress error log messages about Google App Engine start/stop requests by [defining routes for those requests](https://github.com/groton-school/slim-skeleton/blob/b03aae3a19f76cfe6e0e6c0150bc7624f0ccb15c/app/routes.php#L19)
7. Deploy to Google App Engine using the [Node](https://nodejs.org) `deploy` wizard provided.

    a. Configure a [Billing Account](https://console.cloud.google.com/billing) with your Google Cloud account, if not already done.

    b. [Install the `gcloud` CLI](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install)

    c. Install Node dependencies with the package manager of your choice (e.g. `pnpm install`)

    d. Run the deploy wizard (`pnpm run deploy`) interactively (after the first run, this will set environment variables to allow it to be run non-interactively in the future)
