Lightship Bridge Plugin
=======================

[](#lightship-bridge-plugin)

Automates the sharing of configuration and bootstrap functionality between lightship-php and lightship-js.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Designed for a PHP back-end, with an HTML + JS front-end
- Uses the [systemjs](https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs) JS module loader
- Automatic generation of `` elements to initialize JS environment and bootstrap
- Automatic import of the current module's `Controller.js`
- PHP API to forward information to JS, including:
    - environment vars
    - plugin registrations
    - model data (as part of the initial HTML output)
    - on-the-fly JS System depCache
- `` elements are deferred, with a single small inline script for the stub
- Overridable methods for `App` level customization of behaviour
- Event dispatch for higher-level extension

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

[](#installation)

This plugin requires [systemjs](https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs) version 0.20.x, and assumes that it is accessible via your web app at `$deps/systemjs/systemjs`. e.g. normally at file path `$project/www/__/$deps/systemjs/systemjs`.

1. Register the `LightshipBridge` plugin in your lightship-php app.
2. Create a file at `$project/www/__/libs/js/browser.js`. This file is used to set your SystemJS config settings. It should contain a call to `System.config()`, etc. See the [example file](docs/example-files/browser.js) to get the general idea.
3. Create a file at `$project/www/__/libs/js/index.js`. This is the JS entry point file, and is used to bootstrap your lightship-js app. See the [example file](./docs/example-files/index.js) to get the general idea.
