More information can be found at the [official site](https://codeigniter.com). This repository holds a composer-installable app starter. It has been built from the [development repository](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4). More information about the plans for version 4 can be found in [CodeIgniter 4](https://forum.codeigniter.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=28) on the forums. The user guide corresponding to the latest version of the framework can be found [here](https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/). Installation & updates -------------------------- [](#installation--updates) `composer create-project kaleidpixel/codeigniter4-blank` then `composer update` whenever there is a new release of the framework. When updating, check the release notes to see if there are any changes you might need to apply to your `app` folder. The affected files can be copied or merged from `vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app`. Setup ----- [](#setup) Adjust the ".env" to suit your app, especially the base URL. and database settings. We have adopted Twig as the template engine. To use Twig with CodeIgniter 4, the library [kaleidpixel/codeigniter4-twig](https://github.com/kaleidpixel/codeigniter4-twig), which is a customized fork of [daycry/twig](https://github.com/daycry/twig) published by Mr. daycry, is used. Execute the following command. ``` php spark twig:publish ``` When using Shield, the official authentication and authorization framework for CodeIgniter 4, execute the following command. Please refer to the [official documentation for Shield](https://shield.codeigniter.com/). ``` php spark shield:setup ``` Important Change with index.php ------------------------------- [](#important-change-with-indexphp) `index.php` is no longer in the root of the project! It has been moved inside the *public* folder, for better security and separation of components. This means that you should configure your web server to "point" to your project's *public* folder, and not to the project root. A better practice would be to configure a virtual host to point there. A poor practice would be to point your web server to the project root and expect to enter *public/...*, as the rest of your logic and the framework are exposed. **Please** read the user guide for a better explanation of how CI4 works! Repository Management --------------------- [](#repository-management) We use GitHub issues, in our main repository, to track **BUGS** and to track approved **DEVELOPMENT** work packages. We use our [forum](http://forum.codeigniter.com) to provide SUPPORT and to discuss FEATURE REQUESTS. This repository is a "distribution" one, built by our release preparation script. Problems with it can be raised on our forum, or as issues in the main repository. Server Requirements ------------------- [](#server-requirements) PHP version 7.4 or higher is required, with the following extensions installed: - [intl](http://php.net/manual/en/intl.requirements.php) - [mbstring](http://php.net/manual/en/mbstring.installation.php) > **Warning**The end of life date for PHP 7.4 was November 28, 2022.
