Achievements

Installation

Bluz works with PHP 7.0 or later and MySQL 5.4 or later (please check requirements)

I.a. From composer

Download composer.phar, it's easy:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Run create-project command (replace %path% ;):

php composer.phar create-project bluzphp/skeleton %path% --stability=dev

I.b. From repository

Get Bluz skeleton source files from GitHub repository:

git clone git://github.com/bluzphp/skeleton.git %path%

Download composer.phar to the project folder:

cd %path%
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install composer dependencies with the following command:

php composer.phar install

I.c. With PhpStorm

For install you need any web-server (for Windows) and PhpStorm. dows) и PhpStorm.

Create project in PhpStorm:

1. File -> New project;
2. Set the project name and location;
3. In a Project type field choose Composer project;
4. Check that radiobutton is set opposite "Download composer.phar from getcomposer.org", type in a search field "bluzphp/skeleton", select this package in Available packages window and click OK.
5. After that file composer.phar and all dependencies will be loaded.

II. Configuration

Edit your configuration's files /path/to/application/configs/dev/*.php (configuration for development environment).

I think you need to change only db.php for first run

III. Setup database

To run the migrations, execute the command:

/path/to/vendor/bin/bluzman db:migrate

To fill database with data example, execute the command:

/path/to/vendor/bin/bluzman db:seed:run

IV.a. Run built-in web-server

You can run internal PHP web-server with simple console tool:

/path/to/vendor/bin/bluzman server:start --host[="..."] --port[="..."]

IV.b. Use Apache

Or create symlink to Apache document root (required FollowSymlinks option):

# for Linux
ln -s /path/to/public /path/to/web

# for Windows
mklink /D /path/to/web path/to/public

Usage

You can create models, controllers and views with Bluzman console tool, or following old school style:

Model

Model consists from two classes Table and Row:

<?php
namespace Application\Users;
class Table extends \Bluz\Db\Table
{
    protected $table = 'users';
    protected $primary = ['id'];
}

<?php
namespace Application\Users;
/**
 * @property integer $id
 * @property string $login
 */
class Row extends \Bluz\Db\Row {

}

Controller

Controller is file with anonymous function:

<?php
namespace Application;

/**
 * @privilege ViewProfile
 * @cache     5 minutes
 * @param     integer $id
 * @return    array
 */
return function($id) {
    return [
        'user' => Users\Table::findRow($id)
    ];
};

View

View is native:

<h2><?=$user->login?></h2>
