Zizaco's Laravel Project Template

This is the skeleton of a Laravel application that I use to save the initial setup that I usually make. Feel free to use and to customize according to your needs.

To create a project from this repository:

git clone --depth=1 --branch=master [email protected]:Zizaco/laravel-project.git <projectName>
cd !$
rm -rf .git
composer run-script post-root-package-install
composer install
composer run-script post-create-project-cmd

What is included

• laravelcollective/html package.
• laravel-elixir-imagemin to package.json in order to minify images.
• bower.json and .bowerrc with jquery.
• Base asset structure to resources directory.
• app.js to handle initialization of javascript modules based in the markup.
• Main .less file.
• initial gulpfile.js to handle tasks regarding assets.
• Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml and a 'database' directory to store database container data.

Usage

Install Docker on your system.

• Install instructions for Mac OS X
• Install instructions for Ubuntu Linux
• Install instructions for other platforms

Install Docker Compose on your system.

To start the containers

docker-compose build # only the first time
docker-compose up

If you are running the application for the first time you should run the migrations and the default gulp task (to compile the assets)

docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 composer install    # install php dependencies
docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 bower install --allow-root # install front-end dependencies
docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 php artisan migrate # run migrations
docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 gulp                # run laravel's elixir

PS: "" is name of the directory the project is within. Docker-compose uses this convention.

Latter, you ran keep the elixir watcher running with

docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 gulp watch

Finally, you can access the containers interactively with

docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 bash # to access the web server container
docker exec -i -t <projectName>_web_1 php artisan tinker # to access Laravel's REPL
mysql --host 127.0.0.1 -u root   # to access the database
