This repository has been explained in the [CodelyTV video "Introducción a PHP: Cómo configurar tu entorno de desarrollo 🐘" (Spanish)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2IjMrpZog4). It could be useful if you want to start from scratch a kata or a little exercise or project. The idea is that you don't have to worry about the boilerplate, just run `composer create-project codelytv/php-bootstrap your-project-name` and there you go: - Latest versions of PHP and PHPUnit - Best practices applied: - [`README.md`](README.md) (badges included) - [`LICENSE`](LICENSE) - [`composer.json`](composer.json) - [`phpunit.xml`](phpunit.xml) - [`.gitignore`](.gitignore) - [`.editorconfig`](.editorconfig) - \[`.travis.yml`\]\[link-travis-yml\] - [`.scrutinizer.yml`](.scrutinizer.yml) - Some useful resources to start coding How To Start ------------ [](#how-to-start) You have 2 different alternatives: Using our [Packagist project](https://packagist.org/packages/codelytv/php-bootstrap) with Composer, or manually cloning [this repo](https://github.com/CodelyTV/php-bootstrap/): ### Using Composer [](#using-composer) Start completely from scratch without having to delete this bootstrap project Git history: 1. If you don't have it already, [install Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/). 2. Create your project based on the [Packagist project](https://packagist.org/packages/codelytv/php-bootstrap). This will also download the project dependencies: `composer create-project codelytv/php-bootstrap your-project-name`. 3. Move to the project directory: `cd your-project-name` 4. Run all the checks: `composer test`. This will do some checks that you can perform with isolated commands: 1. [PHP Parallel Lint](https://github.com/JakubOnderka/PHP-Parallel-Lint): `composer lint`. 2. [PHP Style Check](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer): `composer style`. If you want to fix style issues automatically: `composer fix-style`. 3. [PHP Unit](https://phpunit.de/): `composer phpunit`. 5. Create your own repository: 1. Initialize your own Git repository: `git init` 2. Add the bootstrap files: `git add .` 3. Commit: `git commit -m "Initial commit with project boilerplate based on https://github.com/CodelyTV/php-bootstrap"` 4. Add your remote repository: `git remote add origin git@github.com:your-username/your-project-name` 5. Upload your local commits to the new remote repo: `git push -u origin master` 6. Start coding! ### Cloning the repository [](#cloning-the-repository) Just in case you prefer to avoid dealing with `composer create-project`, you can also clone this repository. We recommend to follow the next step by step process in order to avoid adding the bootstrap project commits to your project Git history: 1. [Use this repositoy template](https://github.com/CodelyTV/php-basic-skeleton/generate) 2. Clone your project 3. Move to the project directory: `cd your-project-name` 4. If you don't have it already, [install Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/). 5. Install the project dependencies: `composer install` 6. Run all the checks: `composer test`. This will do some checks that you can perform with isolated commands: 1. [PHP Style Check](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer): `composer style`. If you want to fix style issues automatically: `composer fix-style`. 2. [PHP Unit](https://phpunit.de/): `composer phpunit`. 7. Start coding!
