Apricot Framework
=================

[](#apricot-framework)

Apricot is a PHP lightweight framework for quickly creating simple web applications.

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

[](#installation)

We recommend using Composer to create a new Apricot project as follows:

```
composer create-project y2sunlight/apricot your-project-name --dev

```

Alternatively, you can create it manually as follows:

```
git clone https://github.com/y2sunlight/apricot your-project-name
cd your-project-name
composer install --dev

```

Then copy `.env.sample` to `.env`.

```
cd your-project-name
cp .env.sample .env

```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

After creating a new Apricot project, you can try it out right away.

Start PHP's built-in web server in your project folder.

```
php -S localhost:8888 -t public

```

And access the following URL.

-

Your Apricot project "login page" will appear. Then log in. The default account id is `root`, no password is set.

Use as a library
----------------

[](#use-as-a-library)

To use Apricot as a library, do the following:

```
composer require y2sunlight/apricot

```

When using it as a library, it's recommended to use the [Apricot skeleton](https://github.com/y2sunlight/apricot-skeleton).

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The Apricot documentation can be found on the GitHub Wiki: [Apricot-Document](https://github.com/y2sunlight/apricot/wiki/Apricot-Document)
