This is how we bootstrap a Kohana project.
To create a project foobar
run:
composer create-project despark/kohana foobar
That's it! You now have a Kohana project with some important modules installed, CLI tools, permissions set up and more!
- Kohana core
- Official Kohana modules:
- Other Kohana modules:
- Phinx migrations (see Migrations)
- Password compatbility (see Password hashing)
You could run:
composer require <vendor>/<library>:<version_constraint>
This would update the require
section in composer.json
, install the library and update the composer.lock
file.
See the suggest
section in composer.json
for a useful list of Kohana modules and other libraries.
The bootstrap file for Kohana is filled with a lot of goodies. You should check it out here: bootstrap.php
.
The password hashing in the Auth module defaults to PHP 5.5 password_hash
.
Compatibility for PHP <5.5.0 is achieved using Anthony Ferrara's password_compat.
Kohana Database module is configured based on environments. The database name defaults to the project name.
Migrations are done via phinx. Configuration is in phinx.yml. The database name defaults to the project name.
If you are curious how your project is actually built you should check out:
- Composer
create-project
command composer.json
Here is a summary:
- First it clones this repo in a folder with the name you've provided.
- Then it finds all dependencies listed in the
require
andrequire-dev
sections incomposer.json
and their dependencies as well. - Downloads them and put them in either
vendor/
ormodules/
. - Then it runs the scripts from the
post-create-project-cmd
section incomposer.json
:- Creates
application/classes/Model
,application/migrations
andapplication/views
. chmod
with 755application/migrations
- Generates a random string and sets
Cookie::$salt
with it. - Replace
{{DATABASE_NAME}}
inphinx.yml
andapplication/config/database.php
with the name of the project.
