README
Pillar Core provides the PHP application, Twig integration, console commands, interface templates, and interface assets used by the Pillar pattern system.
Requirements
- PHP 8.4 or newer
- Composer 2
- Node.js and npm for interface asset development
Installation
Pillar projects normally install Core through Composer:
composer require weareindi/pillar-core
The companion Pillar boilerplate can also symlink a sibling pillar-core checkout for local development.
Core asset development
Install the Node dependencies and create the local Gulp environment file:
npm install cp .env.gulp.example .env.gulp
Available commands:
npm run build # compile and minify the interface CSS and JavaScript npm run watch # rebuild changed core source files
The build uses Gulp 5, Dart Sass, PostCSS, and esbuild. Sass uses the module system (@use and @forward), with _src/scss configured as a load path.
Runtime performance
Twig templates use an automatically reloading compilation cache. Pattern previews are rendered once, while code-viewer Twig, HTML, and JSON content is loaded and syntax-highlighted only when its Pre or Post panel is opened.
Version
Current development version: 2.0.0.
