README

Developer tools for browsing application classes, generating tests and fixtures, running PHPUnit, and checking database associations.

Read the documentation website, starting with Installation and Getting started. See the version map for other CakePHP branches.

The web backend uses its own controller base. Keep it on a private development instance or behind application middleware access controls.

Further useful addons

• SQL to Query Builder Converter - Convert supported SQL statements to CakePHP Query Builder code
• URL array generation from string URLs (respects routing, so it is basically also a reverse lookup)
• Fixture validation tool (compares actual DB with the schema files: fields and attributes, constraints and indexes)
• Model/entity/table comparison overview.
• GUI for fixture comparison and generation of missing ones per mouse click.
• Association vs DB foreign-key audit (declared associations compared against actual DB constraints).
• Custom linter tasks for project-specific code quality checks.
