### A pragmatic toolkit for internet makers

[](#a-pragmatic-toolkit-for-internet-makers)

Stereo is a "full stack" tool kit designed to make the process of developing dynamic server-rendered web applications significantly easier and more enjoyable.

While it produces a reliable final product, this configuration focuses on developer velocity, making it easy to provide value quickly without introducing unnecessary technical overhead.

Full documentation:

What's included?
----------------

[](#whats-included)

- [Slim v4](https://www.slimframework.com/) (w/ [Slim PSR-7](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Psr7))
- Blade templating - [BladeOne](https://github.com/eftec/bladeone)
- View rendering helpers - [Stereo Render](https://github.com/jyoungblood/stereo-render)
- Helpful [Vanilla PHP](https://vphp.dev) abstraction libraries:

    - Database handlers - [DB Kit](https://github.com/jyoungblood/dbkit)
    - Cookie handlers - [Cookie](https://github.com/jyoungblood/cookie)
    - Simple HTTP client - [HTTP Request](https://github.com/jyoungblood/http-request)
    - Misc utility functions - [X-Utilities](https://github.com/jyoungblood/x-utilities)
- [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/)
- [AlpineJS](https://alpinejs.dev/)
- [Instant.page](https://instant.page/)
- Simple application structure

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.4
- PDO-compatible database (if using [DB handlers](https://github.com/jyoungblood/dbkit))
- Apache (for production)

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

[](#installation)

Easy install with composer:

```
composer create-project jyoungblood/stereo new-project-name

```

In the new project directory, initialize the .env file and template cache directory:

```
cd new-project-name
mv .env.example .env
mkdir public/cache

```

(optional) Install Tailwind:

```
npm install

```

Local Development
-----------------

[](#local-development)

Stereo will work locally with a variety of methods, the simplest being PHP's built-in web server:

```
php -S localhost:6969 -t public/

```

There is also conveniently aliased composer script:

```
composer start

```

If you're using Tailwind, the watcher script and PHP server can be run concurrently with a single command:

```
npm run dev

```

You could also use [Herd](https://herd.laravel.com/), which is an excellent tool for local development.
