Laracivi - a Laravel 5.5 to CiviCRM bridge
==========================================

[](#laracivi---a-laravel-55-to-civicrm-bridge)

Installs CiviCRM as a package within a laravel project.

Provides civicrm\_api3 access to an existing or a new CiviCRM database using a thin api wrapper. Includes console commands to build migrations for all CiviCRM tables from CiviCRM's schema.xml source and seeders from civicrm\_data.mysql and civicrm\_acl.mysql source, as well as Entity model classes for all CiviCRM tables. Also includes console commands to generate a CiviCRM database directly from civicrm.mysql, and to backup and restore a CiviCRM database. The package uses a lightly modified fork of civicrm-core and unmodified civicrm/civrm-packages.

Package Installation
--------------------

[](#package-installation)

```
composer require urbics/laracivi
```

Or manually by modifying `composer.json` file:

```
"require": {
    "urbics/laracivi": "~1.*"
}
```

Next, add package repository sources to the root composer.json in your project (these components are not currently on packagist):

```
"repositories": [
    {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "https://github.com/urbics/civicrm-core.git"
    },
    {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "https://github.com/civicrm/zetacomponents-mail.git"
    },
    {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "https://github.com/totten/topsort.php.git"
    },
    {
       "type": "package",
        "package": {
            "name": "civicrm/civicrm-packages",
            "version": "master",
            "source": {
                "url": "https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-packages",
                "type": "git",
                "reference": "master"
            }
        }
    }
],
```

A few of the civicrm-core dependencies (and the urbics fork of civicrm/civicrm-core) have a dev status, so allow dev packages:

```
"prefer-stable": true,
"minimum-stability": "dev",
```

Finally, run `composer install`

CiviCRM Installation
--------------------

[](#civicrm-installation)

From your project directory, run

`php artisan civi:install`

(If you are using homestead or another virtual machine, ssh into the virtual machine before running this)

which will:

- Add a civicrm.settings.php file to `vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/src`
- Move civicrm-packages to `vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/packages`
- Generate civicrm.mysql and related files in `vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/sql` from `vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/xml/schema/Schema.xml` source
- Add several `CIVI_XXX` settings to the bottom of your project's .env file

then run `php artisan vendor:publish`to bring a civi.php settings file into the config folder.

Next Steps
----------

[](#next-steps)

- Run civi:make:db to create a new civicrm database directly, using CiviCRM's civicrm.msql script.
- Or, run civi:make:migration to generate migration files, optionally with seeder and model classes.
- Build the tables using Laravel's migration: `php artisan migrate --database=civicrm --path=database/migrations/civi --seed` (These are the default settings - change database connection and path as needed)

Limitations and cautions
------------------------

[](#limitations-and-cautions)

The civicrm/civicrm-core package has dependencies whose versions may conflict with those in your project. urbics/laracivi has been tested against a clean install of laravel 5.5; more complex projects have had conflicts during `composer install`.

civicrm-core uses the PEAR DB class, which conflicts with the DB facade used in Laravel. A solution is to replace `use DB;` with `use Illuminate\Database\DatabaseManager as DB;` in classes that rely on the DB facade.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

The project includes phpunit tests for each of the console commands as well as for basic api functionality.
