02. Installation

The easiest way to have Jaxon DbAdmin up and running is to install a ready-to-use application with Composer.

There are currently 3 of them, respectively based on the Laravel, Symfony and Slim frameworks.

They already integrate the Jaxon packages, and provide a working config file located at config/jaxon.php for the Laravel and Slim applications, and config/packages/jaxon.yaml for Symfony.

Running Jaxon DbAdmin in a existing application requires the following steps:

• Install and setup the Jaxon library,
• Install a UI library package,
• Create a dedicated page,
• Insert the Jaxon generated code in the page template,
• Setup the routing for the page and the Jaxon Ajax requests.
