ZendFramework2 application base

Introduction

This should serve as a fully functional basic ZendFramework2 application construct. Just do a checkout from our GitLab and modify and/or extend it to your needs. This Construct is based upon ZF2s skeleton application and ZF-Commons' ZFC-User module. This very basic application includes modules to manage users and ACL settings, login, logout and user registration, a name/type based and maintainable options list.

Please, take a look into the application's User Help section to get some guidance around this application.

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the applications support channel.

Features

• public user registration with optional email verification and activation
• user management
• role, resources and acl management
• basic settings record editing
• prepared help, support and about section
• basic theming

Run development environments

Run in GitPod

Provided you have a GitPod account, just fork/clone this repository to your GitHub account. Start the GitPod workspace with that repository, either direclty from GitHub's GitPod Button or GitPod UI.

Run with Docker

requirements: Docker, composer/php

• install composer dependencies...

  $> composer install --ignore-platform-reqs --no-interaction
  

• build docker images...

  $> PROJECT=my-application PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)/ docker-compose -f ./.gitpod.compose.yml build --pull
  

• start docker containers...

  $> PROJECT=my-application PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)/ bin/start.sh
  

• stop docker containers...

  $> PROJECT=my-application PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)/ bin/stop.sh
  

• show log of running containers...

  $> PROJECT=my-application PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)/ docker-compose -f ./.gitpod.compose.yml logs -f
  

Run frontend dev

requirements: node-js v18

change to directory public/application-assets/

• use node v18.15.0...

  $> nvm use
  

• install node dependencies...

  $> yarn
  

• start javascript $ sass watcher...

  $> yarn start
  

• run build...

  $> yarn build
  

• run tests...

Run ui tests

requirements: selenium hub or standalone

• in one terminal start selenium...

  $> docker run --rm -it \
       -p 4444:4444 \
       -p 7900:7900 \
       --shm-size 2g \
       selenium/standalone-chrome
  

• in another terminal run cucumber ui tests

  $> TEST_CLIENT=chrome \
     TEST_SERVER=host.docker.internal \
     docker run --rm \
       --env TEST_SERVER=${TEST_SERVER} \
       --env TEST_CLIENT=${TEST_CLIENT} \
       -v $(pwd)/test:/build/test \
       -v $(pwd)/report:/build/report \
       -v $(pwd)/hostnames.json:/build/hostnames.json \
       bbdrummer/cucumber-base \
       npm run test-docker -- -r ./report/ <extra selenium-cucumber-js options>
  

• create html report

  $> docker run --rm \
       -v $(pwd)/test:/build/test \
       -v $(pwd)/report:/build/report \
       bbdrummer/cucumber-base \
       node generate-report.js
  

Manual installation

Using Composer (recommended)

The recommended way to get a working copy of this project is to clone the repository and use composer to install dependencies:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php --

cd my/project/dir
git clone https://gitlab.bjoernbartels.earth/zf2/my-application.git
cd my-application
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install

(The self-update directive is to ensure you have an up-to-date composer.phar available.)

Another alternative for downloading the project is to grab it via curl, and then pass it to tar:

cd my/project/dir
curl -#L https://gitlab.bjoernbartels.earth/zf2/my-application/repository/archive.tar.gz?ref=master | tar xz --strip-components=1

You would then invoke composer to install dependencies per the previous example.

Application Setup

Adjust settings in 'config/app.local.dist.php', and rename the file to 'config/app.local.php'.

Create a database and adjust database settings in your 'config/app.local.php' file. Execute the 'sql/install.sql' into that database you previously created.

mysql --user=yourdbuser --password="yourdbpassword" yourdbname < /path/to/myapp/sql/install.sql

TODO

Open the setup inside your browser (http://myappliction.tld/setup) and follow the steps... or maybe we handle this via composer install/update script...

Web Server Setup

PHP CLI Server

The simplest way to get started if you are using PHP 5.4 or above is to start the internal PHP cli-server in the root directory:

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public/ public/index.php

This will start the cli-server on port 8080, and bind it to all network interfaces.

**Note: ** The built-in CLI server is for development only.

Apache Setup

To setup apache, setup a virtual host to point to the public/ directory of the project and you should be ready to go! It should look something like below:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName myappliation.localhost
    DocumentRoot /path/to/myapplication/public
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory /path/to/myapplication/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
