Jengo PHP AppStarter
====================

[](#jengo-php-appstarter)

What is Jengo PHP?
------------------

[](#what-is-jengo-php)

Jengo PHP is a powerful, production-ready application starter that extends the **CodeIgniter 4** framework. It bridges the gap between classic PHP development and modern frontend tooling, providing a seamless experience for building full-stack web applications.

By combining the lightweight, high-performance nature of CodeIgniter 4 with modern frontend capabilities, Jengo PHP allows you to build robust applications with speed and efficiency.

Key Features
------------

[](#key-features)

- **Extends CodeIgniter 4**: Retains all standard CI4 functionality while adding powerful new tools.
- **Modern Frontend Integration**: Native support for **Inertia.js** with **Vue**, **React**, and **Svelte**.
- **Rapid Development**: Includes specialized CLI commands to generate code and configure your environment.
- **Vite Integration**: Comes pre-configured with Vite for lightning-fast frontend builds.

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

[](#installation)

Create a new Jengo project using Composer:

```
composer create-project jengo/appstarter my-app
```

Then, navigate into your project directory:

```
cd my-app
```

Setup Frontend with Inertia.js
------------------------------

[](#setup-frontend-with-inertiajs)

To set up your modern frontend stack, Jengo provides an interactive installer. Run the following command:

```
php spark jengo:install inertia
```

### Installation Steps

[](#installation-steps)

The installer will guide you through the setup process:

1. **Select Framework**: Choose your preferred frontend framework:
    - Vue
    - React
    - Svelte
2. **Client Directory**: Specify where your frontend source files should reside (e.g., `app/Client`).
3. **Dependencies**: Jengo will automatically install the necessary NPM packages for you.
4. **Home Controller**: Update the default Home Controller to use Inertia rendering.

### Post-Installation

[](#post-installation)

After the installer completes, you can start your development servers(ensure to set the env file and set CI\_ENVIRONMENT to development):

```
# Terminal 1: Start the PHP development server
php spark serve

# Terminal 2: Start the Vite development server
npm run dev
```

Visit `http://localhost:8080` to see your Jengo application in action!

Deployment
----------

[](#deployment)

When you are ready to deploy, build your frontend assets for production:

```
npm run build
```

Then deploy your PHP application as you would any standard CodeIgniter 4 project.
