README

This is a simple utility run after the Composer init command, that creates the essential starter files for a project, namely, the ./src/Class.php, ./README.md, ./LICENSE.md (MIT), ./CONTRIBUTING.md, ./CHANGELOG.md, ./.gitignore, ./src/test.php and ./src/servephp.sh.

Compatibility

Tested up to PHP 7, should be compatible with PHP 5.3 or above

Installation

The following instructions are used to create a new PHP project from scratch using ianl28/starter-files:

1. Create a new folder for the new project by entering mkdir newproj
2. Navigate into the new folder cd newproj
3. Create a new composer.json file by entering composer init
4. Enter the necessary values. Ensure that the minimum stability is set to dev.
5. Ensure that the internet is connected
6. Run composer require ianl28/starter-files
7. Then add these lines to your composer.json:

    "scripts": {
      "post-status-cmd": "Ianl28\\StarterFiles\\StarterFiles::run"
    },

1. Then run composer status
2. The following files should then be created: ./index.php, ./README.md, ./LICENSE.md, ./CONTRIBUTING.md, ./.gitignore, ./src/Newproj.php, ./src/test.sh, ./src/servephp.sh
3. Then add these lines to your composer.json:

    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Namespace\\Newproj\\": "src/"
        }
    },

1. Then run composer update
2. To start the PHP server and serve ./index.php on the browser, cd ./src, and then enter servephp.sh, and then point the browser to localhost:3000
3. Alternatively, the class Newproj may be run from ./ as php index.php or from ./src as php test.php
