README

This is a placeholder/skeleton project to load the essential configuration and packages I use for development of PHP projects.

Conventions

Dependencies

• Composer for dependency management
• PSR-4 for autoloading
• PHPUnit for unit-testing
• Scrutinizer for code analysis and reporting, configured to match PSR-1 and PSR-2 (among other things: see .scrutinizer.yml)
• Travis CI for continuous integration

Directory structure:

• bin: Executable artifacts
• build: Automatically generated artifacts from your build/CI process. For example, PHPUnit test results will be placed here.
• config: Configuration files that are not required to be in the project root
• src: PSR-4-compliant code
• tests: PSR-4-compliant PHPUnit tests
• vendor: Dependency artifacts from Composer

Usage

First, load this package as a project via Composer:

# Replace [PROJECT] with the desired name of your project directory
composer create-project itafroma/skeleton [PROJECT]

Remove the existing VCS history when asked: this information is specific to this repository, not your new project.

Next, modify the existing files to be specific to your new project:

• composer.json
• LICENSE
• README.markdown

Finally, update your project's composer.lock:

composer update

Now you're ready to start development and push your new project to your favorite VCS.
