Shopware 6 Additional Dev Tools
===============================

[](#shopware-6-additional-dev-tools)

A small stack of dev tools to make your life as a starting Shopware 6 developer a little easier

#### Assumptions

[](#assumptions)

This plugin is build upon a few assumptions:

- You have Shopware 6 already installed manually
- shopware/platform is installed by composer

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Enable and Disable twig caching
- Fix hot proxy
- Create Shorthand for `./psh.phar`
- Works on three types of Shopware installation:
    - Composer platform installation: `./vendor/shopware/platform`
    - Composer production template installation: `./vendor/shopware/core` etc.
    - Installed following the Shopware installation guidelines by using git

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

[](#installation)

### Composer / packagist

[](#composer--packagist)

```
composer require mmeester/shopware6-dev-tools --dev

```

That's it, follow the next steps in the [activate plugin](#activate-plugin) section.

### Manual

[](#manual)

- Download the zipfile of this repo
- Unzip the zip
- Rename the folder to `DevTools` or whatevever your flavor is
- Move the folder in your Shopware 6 Custom plugin directory, ex: `custom/plugins`

### Activate plugin

[](#activate-plugin)

In your CLI run the following inside the root of your Shopware project:

- Detect new plugins: `bin/console plugin:refresh` 👉 Look for the new plugin
- Install & activate the plugin: ` bin/console plugin:install --activate DevTools`

Commands
--------

[](#commands)

### Enable or disable Twig Caching

[](#enable-or-disable-twig-caching)

Before you can start developing you need to disable twig caching so development goes faster (and your installation a little slower), to disable the cache run:

```
bin/console dev:twig-cache disable

```

to enable the cache:

```
bin/console dev:twig-cache enable

```

### Add shorthand command to CLI

[](#add-shorthand-command-to-cli)

Typing `./psh.phar` are way too much characters when typing it more than twice a day 😊, so make your life a little easier and add a shorthand to your cli, run the following command once and follow the instructions in your cli:

```
bin/console dev:create-alias

```

Now you are able to run all your known Shopware Commands like this:

```
sw cache
sw update

sw storefront:build
sw storefront:dev
sw storefront:hot-proxy

...

```

*NOTE:* You only need to run this command once per machine, each time you run this command an additional alias will be written to your profile.

### Hot proxy fix

[](#hot-proxy-fix)

This is a fix for Shopware 6 users that aren't able or don't want to use Docker to run their installation locally.

This solves the problem in Valet+ that it isn't accepting port :80 forwarding with hot proxy!

- Run the new command to fix the hot-proxy: `bin/console dev:hot-proxy-fix`
- Try the hot-proxy again by running the standard Shopware command: `./psh.phar storefront:hot-proxy`
