Silex Skeleton
==============

[](#silex-skeleton)

Welcome to the Silex Skeleton - a fully-functional Silex application that you can use as the skeleton for your new applications.

This document contains information on how to start using the Silex Skeleton.

Creating a Silex Application
----------------------------

[](#creating-a-silex-application)

Silex uses [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to ease the creation of a new project:

```
$ composer create-project fabpot/silex-skeleton path/to/install ~2.0@dev
```

Composer will create a new Silex project under the path/to/install directory.

Browsing the Demo Application
-----------------------------

[](#browsing-the-demo-application)

Congratulations! You're now ready to use Silex.

To see a real-live Silex page in action, start the PHP built-in web server with command:

```
$ cd path/to/install
$ COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT=0 composer run
```

Then, browse to .

Getting started with Silex
--------------------------

[](#getting-started-with-silex)

This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your Silex applications.

A great way to start learning Silex is via the [Documentation](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/documentation), which will take you through all the features of Silex.

What's inside?
--------------

[](#whats-inside)

The Silex Skeleton is configured with the following service providers:

- [UrlGeneratorServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/providers/url_generator.html) - Provides a service for generating URLs for named routes.
- [ValidatorServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/providers/validator.html) - Provides a service for validating data. It is most useful when used with the FormServiceProvider, but can also be used standalone.
- [ServiceControllerServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/providers/service_controller.html) - As your Silex application grows, you may wish to begin organizing your controllers in a more formal fashion. Silex can use controller classes out of the box, but with a bit of work, your controllers can be created as services, giving you the full power of dependency injection and lazy loading.
- [TwigServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/providers/twig.html) - Provides integration with the Twig template engine.
- [WebProfilerServiceProvider](http://github.com/silexphp/Silex-WebProfiler) - Enable the Symfony web debug toolbar and the Symfony profiler in your Silex application when developing.
- [MonologServiceProvider](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/providers/monolog.html) - Enable logging in the development environment.

Read the [Providers](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/providers.html) documentation for more details about Silex Service Providers.

Enjoy!
