Mako-Vue
========

[](#mako-vue)

An opinionated boilerplate for web applications using PHP/Mako on the backend and Vue.js on the frontend.

This is my personal starter template for building web applications with Mako and Vue.js. It aims to provide a solid foundation with common features and best practices, allowing developers to focus on building their applications rather than setting up the initial structure. It's been a common starting point for my own projects, so I'm sharing it in hopes that it can be useful to others as well.

Features &amp; Stack
--------------------

[](#features--stack)

- [Mako](https://makoframework.com/) PHP Framework
- Environment-specific configuration via hierarchical pattern with Mako's built-in config system
- Persistent storage tailored to MySQL/MariaDB databases
- Database migrations via built-in Mako migration system, including separate user for running migrations
- [mako-template-pp](https://github.com/inventor96/mako-template-pp) for enhanced templating capabilities
- [mako-mailer](https://github.com/inventor96/mako-mailer) for email sending and templating
- [Inertia.js](https://inertiajs.com/) for seamless server-driven SPA experience
- [intertia-mako](https://github.com/inventor96/inertia-mako) adapter
- [Vue.js 3](https://vuejs.org/) with Composition API and Single File Components
- [Vite](https://vite.dev/) for fast development and build process
- [Vue DevTools](https://devtools.vuejs.org/) for easier frontend debugging
- [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) for responsive UI
- [Bootstrap Icons](https://icons.getbootstrap.com/) for iconography
- [Bootswatch](https://bootswatch.com/) for easy theming
- Common pre-built components and layout for Vue.js
- Minimal banner to indicate non-production environments
- Simple authentication scaffolding
- IDE helpers for VSCode
- Dockerization for consistent development and deployment
    - Separation of dev and prod environments by utilizing compose.override.yml
    - Separate services for PHP, MariaDB, and Node/Vite
    - File ownership and permissions handling for seamless host-container interaction\*
    - Pre-configured for Xdebug with VSCode integration\*
    - [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) for HTTPS in local development\*
    - [mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) for local HTTPS certificate creation\*
    - [Mailpit](https://mailpit.axllent.org/) for local email testing\*
    - [Adminer](https://www.adminer.org/) for database management\*
    - Host networking allows local domain name usage\*
    - Allows concurrent projects to run locally without the need for port separation or reverse proxies\*

\* Local development only.

How to Use It
-------------

[](#how-to-use-it)

Use composer to create a new project based on this boilerplate:

```
composer create-project inventor96/mako-vue your-project-name
```

For additional details, if you don't/can't use composer on your host, and/or for general usage of this boilerplate; please see the [wiki](https://github.com/inventor96/mako-vue/wiki) for detailed instructions on setting up and using this boilerplate.

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

- `vite.config.js` is setup for HTTPS via Caddy in Docker. If you are not using Docker, you may need to adjust the Vite server settings for HTTPS or switch to HTTP.
- Local development environment is optimized for Linux hosts. Other OSes may require additional configuration.
- Production readiness (security, performance optimizations, etc.) in a Docker context has not been fully tested.
- Vue DevTools in Docker cannot open files in an IDE running on the host.

To-Dos
------

[](#to-dos)

- Add baseline GitHub Copilot instructions.
- Add tests for backend and frontend code.
