README

Why Boson? Because it's not an Electron! And much easier than that =)

By the way, there is more information about the project in the documentation.

Also, this repository contains included high level PHP bindings for Saucer v6.0.

Application Example

You can find a detailed example application in the Boson Application repository.

1. You should download the app using composer create-project boson-php/app
2. Then:

• Run it using php index.php
• Or compile it using php vendor/bin/boson compile

Linux	macOS	Windows

Installation

Boson package is available as Composer repository and can be installed using the following command in a root of your project:
