This is the `system` directory of [Codeigniter 3](https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/) prepared as a package in [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

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

[](#installation)

Install `Codeigniter` via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
$ composer require rougin/codeigniter
```

### Using `Ignite`

[](#using-ignite)

If wanting to create a new project, the [Ignite](https://roug.in/ignite/) package can be used instead:

```
$ composer create-project rougin/ignite "ciacme"
```

[Ignite](https://roug.in/ignite/) is yet another `Codeigniter 3` project template with a twist. It uses an alternative and secured directory structure for new `Codeigniter 3` projects. Instead of the common `system` directory, this project template uses `rougin/codeigniter` as its base package.

Why?
----

[](#why)

I was a big fan of `Codeigniter 3` back in the day as it is my very first PHP framework to work with. With this, I tried to create this package to provide quality of development improvements when writing projects under `Codeigniter 3` before and the following other reasons below:

### One-command update

[](#one-command-update)

This package provides an easy way to update the internals of `Codeigniter 3`:

```
$ composer update
```

With a simple command, there's no need to perform copy and pasting of files whenever there is an update.

### Out of curiosity

[](#out-of-curiosity)

It just gained [my interest](https://roug.in/projects/) before if there is an alternative way to update a `Codeigniter 3` project with minimal effort.

### For unit testing

[](#for-unit-testing)

Together with [Spark Plug](https://roug.in/spark-plug/), this package can easily create `Codeigniter 3` instances in unit tests.

Changelog
---------

[](#changelog)

Please see the [Change Log](https://codeigniter.com/userguide3/changelog.html) page from the `Codeigniter 3` website for its latest updates.
