Skeleton Application
====================

[](#skeleton-application)

Use this skeleton application to start your next project with ZAPHYR. This application is pre-configured with the [ZAPHYR framework](https://github.com/zaphyr-org/framework) and includes a basic directory structure, configuration files, and a sample controller and view.

This skeleton application is optimized for Composer, making it quick and easy to set up a new application.

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

[](#system-requirements)

Before you start, ensure the following are installed on your system:

- [PHP](https://www.php.net) 8.1 or higher, along with the following PHP extensions:
    - [Ctype](https://www.php.net/book.ctype)
    - [DOM](https://www.php.net/book.dom)
    - [Fileinfo](https://www.php.net/book.fileinfo)
    - [JSON](https://www.php.net/book.json)
    - [libxml](https://www.php.net/book.libxml)
    - [Multibyte String](https://www.php.net/book.mbstring)
    - [OpenSSL](https://www.php.net/book.openssl)
    - [SimpleXML](https://www.php.net/book.simplexml)
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
- A [web server](https://www.php.net/manual/features.commandline.webserver.php) with URL rewriting capability

Tip

ZAPHYR requires PHP 8.1 as the minimum version. However, we recommend using the [latest stable version of PHP](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) for the best experience.

The app skeleton is continuously tested on the following PHP versions:

- PHP 8.1
- PHP 8.2
- PHP 8.3
- PHP 8.4
- PHP 8.5

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

[](#installation)

This guide will walk you through the process of creating a new ZAPHYR application using the skeleton application.

### Create application

[](#create-application)

To create a new application, open a terminal (either Command Prompt or Terminal app, depending on your OS) and run the following Composer command from the directory where you want to install your application:

```
composer create-project zaphyr-org/app my-app
```

This command installs a fresh skeleton application in a directory named `my-app`. Feel free to replace `my-app` with your desired application name.

### Setup and run application

[](#setup-and-run-application)

After creating the application, navigate to your application directory (`my-app`):

```
cd my-app
```

Set the `APP_URL` environment variable in the `.env` file at the root of your project directory:

```
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
```

To start the [built-in PHP web server](https://www.php.net/manual/features.commandline.webserver.php) from the root of your project, run the following command:

```
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
```

The application is now running on `http://localhost:8000`. You can access it in your browser by visiting the URL.
