This slim3 boilerplate is made for everyone who would like to kickstart quickly a web project.

It is composed of many great packages such as:

• Eloquent
• Phinx
• Monolog
• Symfony Console
• PHPMailer
• Bootstrap 4

Once packages are installed you will be prompted interactively for .env file creation and global environment setup (assets and DB).
If you do not want to be prompted just add --no-interaction to the composer create-project command up above

If you don't go with interactive mode (default), please mind to do the following once your .env file is ready:
php manager asset:compile
php manager migration:run up
php manager seed:run

Start your developpement :)

Guide :
