Wikimedia SlimApp
=================

[](#wikimedia-slimapp)

Common classes to help with creating an application using the [Slim](https://www.slimframework.com/) micro framework and [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/) template engine.

System Requirements
-------------------

[](#system-requirements)

- PHP >= 7.2.0

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The library follows the [Twelve-Factor App](http://12factor.net/)configuration principle of configuration via environment variables.

The following variables can be optionally provided:

- LOG\_CHANNEL = Logger name (default: `app`)
- LOG\_LEVEL = PSR-3 logging level (default: `notice`)
- LOG\_FILE = fopen()-compatible filename or stream URI (default: `php://stderr`)
- CACHE\_DIR = Directory to cache twig templates (default: `data/cache`)
- SMTP\_HOST = SMTP mail server (default: `localhost`)
- TEMPLATE\_DIR = Twig template directory (default: `data/templates`)
- I18N\_DIR = i18n data file directory (default: `data/i18n`)
- DEFAULT\_LANG = Default i18n lanaguage (default: `en`)

### Apache

[](#apache)

```
SetEnv LOG_LEVEL debug
SetEnv CACHE_DIR /var/cache/twig
SetEnv DEFAULT_LANG es

```

### .env file

[](#env-file)

For environments where container based configuration isn't possible or desired, a `.env` file can be placed in the root of the project. This file will be parsed using PHP's `parse_ini_file()` function and the resulting settings will be injected into the application environment.

```
LOG_LEVEL=debug
CACHE_DIR=/var/cache/twig
DEFAULT_LANG=es

```

Working on the code
-------------------

[](#working-on-the-code)

Code review process is done through [Gerrit](https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/). To start hacking on the application refer to the [Gerrit Tutorial](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial).
