Use this skeleton application to quickly setup and start working on a new Slim Framework 4 application running on Google App Engine. This application uses the latest Slim 4 with Slim PSR-7 implementation and PHP-DI container implementation. It also uses Google Cloud Logging.

This skeleton application was built for Composer. This makes setting up a new Slim Framework application quick and easy.

Install the Application

Run this command from the directory in which you want to install your new Slim Framework application. You will require PHP 7.4 or newer.

composer create-project --stability dev groton-school/slim-gae-skeleton [my-app-name]

Replace [my-app-name] with the desired directory name for your new application. You'll want to:

Point your virtual host document root to your new application's public/ directory.
Ensure logs/ is web writable.

To run the application in development, you can run these commands

cd [my-app-name]
composer start

Deploying the application to Google App Engine requires both gcloud and Node as prerequisites. With both of those tools installed, install the Node package dependencies.

npm install

Deploy the app (which will take you through an interactive wizard to reuse or create and configure a new Google Cloud project):

node bin/deploy.js

Or you can use docker-compose to run the app with docker, so you can run these commands:

cd [my-app-name]
docker-compose up -d

After that, open http://localhost:8080 in your browser.

Run this command in the application directory to run the test suite

composer test

That's it! Now go build something cool.
