Silex Skeleton

==============

**WARNING**: Silex is in maintenance mode only. Ends of life is set to June

2018. Read more on `Symfony's blog`_.

Welcome to the Silex Skeleton - a fully-functional Silex application that you

can use as the skeleton for your new applications.

This document contains information on how to start using the Silex Skeleton.

Creating a Silex Application

----------------------------

Silex uses `Composer`_ to ease the creation of a new project:

.. code-block:: console

    $ composer create-project fabpot/silex-skeleton path/to/install "~2.0"

Composer will create a new Silex project under the `path/to/install` directory.

Browsing the Demo Application

-----------------------------

Congratulations! You're now ready to use Silex.

To see a real-live Silex page in action, start the PHP built-in web server with

command:

.. code-block:: console

    $ cd path/to/install

    $ COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT=0 composer run

Then, browse to http://localhost:8888/index_dev.php/

Getting started with Silex

--------------------------

This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your Silex applications.

A great way to start learning Silex is via the `Documentation`_, which will

take you through all the features of Silex.

What's inside?

---------------

The Silex Skeleton is configured with the following service providers:

* `ValidatorServiceProvider`_ - Provides a service for validating data. It is

  most useful when used with the FormServiceProvider, but can also be used

  standalone.

* `ServiceControllerServiceProvider`_ - As your Silex application grows, you

  may wish to begin organizing your controllers in a more formal fashion.

  Silex can use controller classes out of the box, but with a bit of work,

  your controllers can be created as services, giving you the full power of

  dependency injection and lazy loading.

* `TwigServiceProvider`_ - Provides integration with the Twig template engine.

* `WebProfilerServiceProvider`_ - Enable the Symfony web debug toolbar and

  the Symfony profiler in your Silex application when developing.

* `MonologServiceProvider`_ - Enable logging in the development environment.

Read the `Providers`_ documentation for more details about Silex Service

Providers.

Enjoy!
