Official Documentation

Laravel's Eloquent ORM

Laravels Eloquent ORM, currently using version 4.2.

##Getting Started #####Server Set Up I am using laravels Homestead VM for my developement, more on this can be found at the laravel website laravel.com. A great video on the installation and usage of Homestead can be also seen at Laracasts.com #####Installation & Set up I am mainly using composer for the whole install and programming. For more details on how to set up and install Composer can be found at getcomposer.org

   composer create-project simondavies/slimphp-vanilla your-project-name

Now set up homestead, so that we point a test domain name to our new set up, as below:

First of ssh into your homestead server (Please read the Homested docs for further information):

Then run the homestead server code as below to point to your domain name to the public folder

     serve mytestdomainname.app /home/vagrant/Code/path/to/public/directory

Once this has been done you will then need to add your domain name to the mac host files, located at /etc/hosts

Once open add the following to the host file:

   192.168.10.10 mytestdomainname.app

Next make a copy of the .env.example file and rename this .env.

Now you should be able to type 'http://testvanilla.app' into the browser and the demo Slim Vanilla site should show up.
