# Ignition Go | [](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=NV6YA38KWC8U4)
Status: 
A Modular (HMVC) App Building Framework - complete with front end, REST api, and 2 admin areas (Admin / Secure)
- create "blox" modules to build enterprise class web applications
- uses Codeigniter 3.x and Bootstrap 4.x.x
- can be used as a quickstart project starter/boilerplate
- *What are blox?* "Blox" are just pluggable modules or applets that are commonly used in web applications. Ignition Go includes a web-based generator (see BuildABlox). Planned example "blox" would be a bulk emailer, report manager, and many more!!!
### Documentation
Documentation is now available: [Ignition-Go Documentation on GitHub] (http://ci-blox.github.io/Ignition-Go/#/concepts/ACL)
Take a look at the key concepts documents and also see the /docs folder for more.
### Server Requirements (Preferred)
* **PHP 7.3** you can run in lower (5.6) but the recommended version for production to use is [PHP 7.3](http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.php) for your projects. PHP 7.3 is now supported in the latest code and anything below PHP 7.3 is no longer officially supported.
* **Apache 2.4+** with rewrite mod enabled
* **MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDb**
### Installing
****NOTE: now using [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/en/) for packages (so Bower is not needed / optional).
1. GIT clone this repository
Example: git clone https://github.com/ci-blox/Ignition-Go.git myigoapp
2. Either:
2a) use Yarn and Gulpjs (highly recommended for non-experts) - go to step 3
-or-
2b) map your webserver to the 'public' folder to use pre-installed versions of packages
(skip to step 8)
3. Install NPM [node.js](http://nodejs.org/): package manager for node modules, and [install Yarn] (https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/)
4. Change directory to new site/web app root
Example: ```cd myigoapp```
5. Install all the packages and components
Type: ```yarn install```
6. Create an empty mySql or MariaDb database (default db name is ci_blox) and a user (default is root/no password). Note that the database.php file in application/config contains these configuration settings.
Example: use a tool like HeidiSQL or phpMyAdmin and create both a database and a user with privileges that new database
7. Run 'gulp' (note that gulp will run continuously in 'watch' mode, watching for css and js changes).
then
EITHER type: ```gulp```
OR.. type: ```gulp serve```
OR.. type: ```gulp build``` which just rebuilds the JS and CSS
8. (Optional, required if no gulp or in production) In Apache, map the 'public' folder to localhost or other url
Example: in your httpd-vhosts.conf file, add new `````` section and restart Apache
9. Go to http://[your-web-root-from-step-7]/install/init in your browser to finish using install wizard
eg if you used gulp, goto http://localhost:8080/install/init
if you had created virtual host igotestlocal.com, then go to http://igotestlocal.com/install/init in your browser
### Features
Ignition Go is a jumpstart for your rapid development:
* Multi-faceted (e.g. Frontend Website, Authorized User Only modules, Admin Panel, and API) website in a single application
* Modular design using CodeIgniter HMVC extension
* Custom config files (sites.php, locale.php) for easy configuration of website behavior
* Frontend with multiple themes (with over 16 free Bootswatch themes)
* Admin Panel with AdminLTE v3 theme
* Includes usage of many other 3rd party optional libraries via Composer, NPM or Yarn
* API Site to handle RESTful endpoints
* User authentication (optional) for secure area in Frontend Website (Sign Up, Login, Forgot Password, et al)
* User authentication for Admin Panel (Login, Change Password, et al)
* Preset layouts and templates
* Preset asset pipeline (e.g. minify scripts, image optimization) via Gulp (reference from [gulp-starter 2.0 branch](https://github.com/greypants/gulp-starter/tree/2.0))
* Buildablox blox module/form builder to generate blox and CRUD form views with Bootstrap theme, form validation
* Breadcrumb and Pagination handling
* Multilingual support
* Email config setup
* CLI utility functions (e.g. cron job, database backup)
* Guzzle client integrated as library (use instead of Curl)
* Use gulp serve to instantly see updates to code

```
### Asset Customization (e.g. additional js/css files)
A gulp configuration (**gulpfile.js**) is included. It utilizes package and component tools from these sites:
* NPM [node.js](http://nodejs.org/): package manager for node modules
* [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/): package manager
* GulpJS [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/): task runner to compile, combine, and minify
* Guzzle [guzzle](http://guzzlephp.com/): integrated for use as a REST client or for complex curl operations

### Acknowledgements
Special thanks to the [Bonfire](http://cibonfire.com) project and those who contributed to it - many features and infrastructure concepts were inspired or incorporated outright from that project. Also thanks to all the projects like GuzzlePHP and countless others that are open source, whose components are incorporated and allow this initiative to exist. Finally, thanks especially to the CodeIgniter team, with whom CodeIgniter continues to thrive!
