Silex Template

Silex-Based Website Template which can be used as a starting point for pretty much any website. Just a nice way to spare time for setup in the future.

  • Includes a pre-defined HTML5 Boilerplate Template as a starting point -- http://html5boilerplate.com
  • Includes Modernizr -- http://modernizr.com
• Assetic included (works automagically)
  • Parses LESS files into plain CSS
  • Combines CSS and JS files into single files
• Development Version
• Production Version (optimized with cache and compiled assets)
• Test Version ready for PHPUnit
• Console Deployment Scripts to rebuild cache and deploy assets

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.3.2+
• Composer
• Some really basic knowledge of Silex

Installation

1. Get this template to your machine: git clone git@github.com:clops/silex-template.git
2. Get composer (if you don't have a global one): curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
3. Run installation of dependancies: php composer.phar install
4. Set writing permissions (optional, as composer will attempt to do this): chmod 777 -R resources/cache resources/log
5. Configure your web-server to deliver web/ as the host root

Usage

• src/Routes.php contains all the registered routes with the respective Controllers
• src/Clops/Controller/* place where the page controllers reside, add yours here too
• Use phpunit from test to fire your Unit Tests, use test/Clops/Tests/baseTest.php as a starting point
