Handlr App
==========

[](#handlr-app)

A full-stack Handlr app skeleton - the starting point for a server-driven web app built on **HTMX + Handlebars + Tailwind** on the front end and a **PHP Pipe + Handler** framework on the back end.

📖 **Documentation:**

Scaffold a new project with one command:

```
composer create-project phillipsharring/handlr-app my-app
```

A `post-create-project-cmd` runs `npm install` in the frontend half, so a single command sets up both sides. Then:

The app ships as two halves — `backend/` (composer) and `frontend/` (npm) — so each dev server runs in its own directory:

```
cd my-app
composer --working-dir=backend run dev   # PHP server on http://localhost:8000
npm --prefix frontend run dev            # Vite dev server on http://localhost:5173 (proxies /api to :8000)
```

(Or `cd backend && composer run dev` / `cd frontend && npm run dev` in separate terminals.)

What's inside
-------------

[](#whats-inside)

This package ships both halves of an app:

```
frontend/    Vite + Tailwind + HTMX runtime (built on @phillipsharring/handlr-frontend
             and @phillipsharring/handlr-build)
backend/     PHP API built on phillipsharring/handlr-backend  - auth, RBAC, CSRF,
             migrations, seeders, and the Pipe + Handler conventions

```

- **[frontend/](frontend/README.md)** — pages, layouts, components, and the runtime wiring.
- **[backend/](backend/README.md)** — handlers, pipes, data layer, and database lifecycle.

A module is a single dual-published unit (npm + composer, lockstep version). Install both halves at the matching version:

```
