Use this as a clean starting point in your Werx-based projects.

Briefly, the Werx Project bundles the following components and lets them work together to form the basic building blocks of a PHP application:

- Configuration Management - [werx\\Config](https://github.com/werx/config)
- Database Abstraction - [Illuminate\\Database](https://github.com/illuminate/database)
- HTTP Abstraction - [Symfony\\HttpFoundation](https://github.com/symfony/HttpFoundation)
- Routing - [Aura.Router](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Router)
- Templates - [Plates Native PHP Templates](http://platesphp.com/)
- Unit Tests - [PHPUnit](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit) (of course, why use anything else?)

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

[](#installation)

Installation of this package is easy with Composer. If you aren't familiar with the Composer Dependency Manager for PHP, [you should read this first](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md).

If you don't already have [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) installed (either globally or in your project), you can install it like this:

```
$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```

Then you can create a new Werx Skeleton project:

```
$ composer create-project werx/skeleton your-project-name --stability=dev
```

The default base namespace of your new app skeleton is werx\\Skeleton. You can easily change the namespace in all files using the provided `install.php` after downloading this project.

```
php install.php "Your\AppNamespace"
```

> Of course, replace `Your\AppNameSpace` in the above command with whatever you want to use as your base namespace.

> **IMPORTANT** : Make sure your new namespace is quoted in the install command as shown above.
