HYii Starter App
================

[](#hyii-starter-app)

Starter project which uses the scaffolding of the [Hyii Core Class](https://github.com/Harvest-Media/hyii)to provide ready-made user management and templates.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer create-project harvest-media/hyii-starter
```

Then, go to the root project:

```
cd hyii-starter
```

or whatever directory name you created.

Next, create your environment file:

```
cp .env.example .env
```

Open up that file in your editor of choice. Fill in the site address, site name, and the database information.

Then you need to run the installation program.

```
./console install
```

Next, run npm install.

```
npm install
```

Adding your own Install Migration
---------------------------------

[](#adding-your-own-install-migration)

If you want to create other tables during the installation, go to `migrations/install.php` and add functions for each table you want to create and them call those functions in the safeUp function. Also, an uninstall feature is offered just for during developmemnt. Make sure to add the drop table line in the safeDown function as well.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

There are some core classes and templates that are provided already for you in the base-web-app project. An example of the login form and the dashboard page are already placed in the `controllers\web\` folder for you.

The UserController will be added soon which will provide basic user management.

Currently, when you use one of the base-web-app controllers, it would use the corresponding template in the base-web-app project. Soon, you will have the ability to specifiy to use your own template in the templates folder of this project.

All new pages you add to this project will be done through the controllers, models, and templates folders at the root of this project. An example is at the `controller/web/HelloController.php`
