This is a project template for any future Laravel 5 project that will be developed by Ixudra, a Belgian PHP development company owned by Jan Oris. It is modified to use Laravel 5.

This template can be used by anyone at any given time, but keep in mind that it is optimized for my personal custom workflow. It may not suit your project perfectly and modifications may be in order.

There are several actions that need to be to be executed before development of a new application can start:

• Download the template into a new directory: git clone [email protected]:ixudra/ixd-template.git yourAppName
• Remove the existing git repository: rm -rf yourAppName/.git
• Initialize a new git repository inside the YourAppName directory: git init
• Add your name and email to the .git config: vim .git/config
• Add a new remote for your repository: git remote add origin https://urlToYourAppRepository
• Add, commit and push your files to the repository
• Add project name, url and custom packages to config/app.php
• Change the name of .env.example to .env: mv .env.example .env
• Remove the license file: rm -rf LICENSE
• Modify and replace temporary values in .env.testing
• Run composer install first to prevent errors with pre-update scripts
• Run composer update to update update all packages to the latest versions
• Run php artisan key:generate to generate a private key
• Enter your secret key in the application in .env
• Replace YourAppName in resources/views/bootstrap/layouts/master.blade.php
• Replace YourAppName in resources/views/bootstrap/layouts/menu-top.blade.php
• Replace YourAppName in resources/views/vendor/log-viewer/_template/navigation.blade.php
• Replace YourAppName in app/Services/Mail/MailService.php
• Add new virtual host to apache hosts file + restart apache server
• Add redirect to your hosts file
• Change the name of readme.example to readme.md: rm -rf readme.md && mv readme.example readme.md
• Modify and replace temporary values in readme.md
• Modify and replace temporary values in composer.json

• Install the latest version of nodeJS if you haven't done so already (see nodejs.org for detailed instructions)
• Install NPM globally if you haven't done so already: sudo apt-get install npm
• Pull in NPM dependencies: npm install
• Run Gulp to generate the CSS and Javascript files: npm run dev

• Run composer update (if you haven't done so already)
• Create a test database with the name ixd_yourAppName_test
• Create a database user the following credentials: yan_user_test - yan_pwd_test and make sure this user has access to the test database
• Modify and replace YourAppName in the database configuration in codeception.yml
• Modify and replace yourAppName in the base url in tests/unit/base/BaseUnitTestCase.php
• Update the database name and credentials in the createDatabaseDumps.sh script
• Create a database dump for your database tests using the database dump script: bash createDatabaseDumps.sh
• Run sudo vendor/bin/codecept build to build test helpers for testing purposes (should be repeated every time you change the configuration of a suite)
• Run sudo vendor/bin/codecept run to run all test suites
• Run sudo vendor/bin/codecept run --coverage-html to run all test suites with HTML code coverage
