Description

This is a skeleton for PHP projects that focus on code quality.
It contains pretty much everything you need to start a new project :

• Code quality
  • A working unit test (using PHPUnit) to bootstrap your coding experience
  • Static analyis tools (phpcs, phpstan, psalm, phpmd and phan) to enforce the quality of your code
  • A mutation testing framework (Infection) to enforce the quality of your tests
  • An automated refactoring tool (Rector) to help you keep your code up to date
  • Composer scripts to easily use all the above
• Infrastructure
  • Docker support
    • A Makefile to manage docker commands with ease
  • GitHub Actions to automatically run the tests and quality tools on every push and pull request
    • It also uploads a code coverage report to CodeCov

Installation

To create a new project based on this skeleton, run the following command:

composer create-project ingenioz-it/php-skeleton {PROJECT_NAME}

Requirements

PHP 8.4+ or Docker.

Getting started

0. (if you are using docker)

Create the Docker container and start a shell inside it:

make cli

1. Install the dependencies

composer install

2. Run the tests

composer testdox

3. Time to code

The previous steps went well ?

You are now ready to start coding !

Scripts

The project comes with a few useful scripts to help you manage docker and run the various quality tools.

You can list them by running

make help

Important scripts

• composer testdox: run the tests
• composer fulltest: run all the quality tools
• composer doc: generate the documentation from the tests (including mutation testing and code coverage), and puts it inside the doc folder

And if you are using docker:

• make start/stop/restart: start/stop/restart the Docker container
• make cli: open a terminal inside the Docker container (run exit to close it)
• make exec {command}: execute a command inside the Docker container

Environments

This project supports multiple environments.

Two environments are available from the start:

• cli-dev: a cli project
• web-dev: a web project

You can switch between environments by changing the ENVIRONMENT variable inside the infra/.env file.

You can create new environments by creating a new folder inside the infra/ folder, with a docker-compose.yml file inside it.

Customize your app

Make the project truly yours by doing the following:

• Update the composer.json with your project's information
• Update the README.md file to describe your project
• Update the LICENSE file with your favorite license
