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 & 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\* - [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) for backend testing - [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/), [jsdom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom), and [Vue Test Utils](https://vue-test-utils.vuejs.org/) for frontend testing \* Local development only. Development Prerequisites ------------------------- [](#development-prerequisites) - [Docker and Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) installed on your host machine - Docker [Rootless mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/) configured - [`CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` set on `rootlesskit`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/tips/#exposing-privileged-ports) to allow binding to privileged ports - [`mkcert`](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) installed on your host machine for local HTTPS How to Use It ------------- [](#how-to-use-it) To avoid any potential host incompatibilities, the recommended way to set up this boilerplate is to use the [`setup.sh`](./setup.sh) script, which will use ephemeral Docker containers to run the necessary setup commands for you, and coordinate `mkcert` and `/etc/hosts` updates for local HTTPS and domain name usage. `setup.sh` supports two workflows: 1. Create a brand-new project from this boilerplate (`./setup.sh `) ``` curl -sLo /tmp/setup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/inventor96/mako-vue/refs/heads/main/setup.sh && bash /tmp/setup.sh your-project-name ``` 2. Initialize an already-cloned repository (`./setup.sh` from the repo root) ``` cd your-project-name ./setup.sh ``` If you wish, and if your host meets all dependencies, you can also use composer directly on your host: ``` # creating a new project from the boilerplate composer create-project inventor96/mako-vue your-project-name # setting up an already-cloned repository composer install php app/reactor post-create-project ``` The post-create-project script (which is also automatically run by the `composer create-project` command) will attempt to run the `mkcert` command, but you will be responsible for editing your `/etc/hosts` file (a one-liner command will be provided). For additional details, 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. - Vue DevTools in Docker cannot open files in an IDE running on the host. ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance93 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity53 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
