README

This project is a sample for a bootstrap silex application. It's based on lyrixx's Silex Kitchen edition. For more informations, see the dedicated page.

BASE PROJECT

lyrixx project is a great way to start working on silex with a proper structure. It features

• Directory structure
• MVCish approach
• Doctrine DBAL
• Translation
• Bootstrap
• Boilerplate

However i wasn't satisfied with some of the choices that where made in the project. So i made some changes :

CHANGES

• Implemented a User management system : Simple User for Silex.
• Implemented a proper mvc folder structure in the the "src/" directory
• Added support for doctrine2 orm, it's a suggest package. The command line also support doctrine.
• Created a controllers as services system See Silex services controllers.
• Moved non source code elements to the folder "resources/" (console, routing, services registering etc)
• Moved the twig templates to "src/"
• Updated the layout using the SimpleUser version
• Styled the css using the spacelab sheet from Bootswatch

INSTALLATION

    php composer.phar create-project -s dev enyosolutions/silex-pumped-skeleton PATH/TO/YOUR/APP

GETTING STARTED

The app is ready to fire. just navigate to your site with your browser.

You can then do the following :

• Go to "resources/config" and edit your config files as you see fit
• Create a controller in "src/Controllers"
• Register it in "resources/controllers.php"
• Create your routes in "resources/routes.php"
• Create a twig template in "src/views"

You can now do everything you want. Add a redbeanphp to your vendors and you can start prototyping and building your app.
