Blankz

A skeleton for creating applications with CakePHP 4.x.

The skeleton source code can be found here: abarkhuysen/blankz.

Installation

1. Clone the repository git clone [email protected]:abarkhuysen/blankz.git.
2. Update Composer composer self-update.
3. Install required packages with composer composer install.

You can now either use your machine's webserver to view the default home page, or start up the built-in webserver with:

bin/cake server
bin/cake server -p 8765

Then visit http://localhost:8765 to see the welcome page.

Updates

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 (v1.3) minimalist CSS framework by default. You can, however, replace it with any other library or custom styles.
