|
|
|
|
A skeleton for creating applications with [CakePHP](https://cakephp.org) 4.x.
|
|
|
|
The framework source code can be found here: [cakephp/cakephp](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Download [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) or update `composer self-update`.
|
|
2. Run `php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app [app_name]`.
|
|
|
|
If Composer is installed globally, run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In case you want to use a custom app dir name (e.g. `/myapp/`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app myapp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can now either use your machine's webserver to view the default home page, or start
|
|
up the built-in webserver with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bin/cake server -p 8765
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then visit `http://localhost:8765` to see the welcome page.
|
|
|
|
## Update
|
|
|
|
Since this skeleton is a starting point for your application and various files
|
|
would have been modified as per your needs, there isn't a way to provide
|
|
automated upgrades, so you have to do any updates manually.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Read and edit the environment specific `config/app_local.php` and setup the
|
|
`'Datasources'` and any other configuration relevant for your application.
|
|
Other environment agnostic settings can be changed in `config/app.php`.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
The app skeleton uses [Milligram](https://milligram.io/) (v1.3) minimalist CSS
|
|
framework by default. You can, however, replace it with any other library or
|
|
custom styles.
