What my minimum setup is changes all the time, and this repository will change with it. The idea is that, whenever I start a new website project, I can get a checkout of the current state of this repository without having to think about where I will start. This is heavily inspired by [the Fermi Framework](https://github.com/journeygroup/fermi) and even uses similar dependencies. But I have a slightly different way of wanting to handle my configurations and base dependencies. Usage ----- [](#usage) Via Composer ``` $ composer create-project zegnat/website-starter ``` Current Practices ----------------- [](#current-practices) 1. Using [Auryn](https://github.com/rdlowrey/auryn) to get actual dependency injections. Never pass around a container. 2. Using [PSR-7 HTTP message objects](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) with [PSR-17 factories](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-17/)for all request and response handling. 3. Using [nyholm/psr7-server](https://github.com/Nyholm/psr7-server) to create the initial [PSR-7](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) request. 4. Using [Middleland](https://github.com/oscarotero/middleland) to run through all configured [PSR-15 Middlewares](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-15/). 5. Using [FastRoute](https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute) to parse requested URIs and find the matching [PSR-15 RequestHandlers](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-15/). 6. Using a [Zend Emitter](https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-httphandlerrunner/emitters/) to output a final response to the web server. 7. Using [PHP CS Fixer](https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer) to check all code against a somewhat opinionated set of style rules based on the [Symfony Coding Standards](https://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/code/standards.html). 8. Using [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) to test all classes used in the project and generate coverage reports using [`phpdbg`](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.phpdbg.php). PSR-7 & PSR-17 Providers ---------------------------- [](#psr-7--psr-17-providers) By default this project loads [Diactoros](https://zendframework.github.io/zend-diactoros/) for its [PSR-7](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) objects and matching [PSR-17](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-17/) factories. The providers can easily be swapped for a different set of implementations. Simply remove the dependency from composer and add a new one. Example: ``` $ composer remove zendframework/zend-diactoros $ composer require nyholm/psr7 ``` Then change [the injector configuration](config/injector.php) to tell [Auryn](https://github.com/rdlowrey/auryn) which factories it should use. In the case of [nyholm/psr7](https://github.com/Nyholm/psr7) all of them can be defined as `Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory::class`. License ------- [](#license) The BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD).
