What is Skip?
-------------

[](#what-is-skip)

Skip is a configuration wrapper around [Silex (PHP microframework)](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/usage.html) and [Symfony Console Component](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/console/introduction.html).

The idea behind wrapping these two libraries is provide a starting point for new projects that require a *simple* web app and a cli interface.

The aim/goal however is to 'skip' the manual setup/configuration of these libraries (amazing tools but annoying learning curve) and put all that stuff in a json file somewhere. I hope this will allow developers to focus better on their application development.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.4
- composer (preferably latest)

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

[](#installation)

The recommened way is to use composer to install skip in your project:

```
"require": {
    ...
    "renegare/skip": "master-dev"
    ...
}

```

Note: you can require your own version of silex, as long as it is greater than the minimalist defined version in composer.json.

Test
----

[](#test)

Check out the repo and from the top level directory run the following command:

```
$ composer update && vendor/bin/phpunit

```

*NOTE:* You need composer installed on your machine

Web Application Usage
---------------------

[](#web-application-usage)

Traditionally to start a Silex application you would do the following:
