| Instead of adding <span class="shell">~/.composer/vendor/bin</span> to the PATH environment variable, I simply made a symbolic link to it in <span class="shell">~/bin/</span> folder.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="bash">
| |
| $ ln -s ~/.composer/vendor/bin/laravel ~/bin/laravel
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Create a new Laravel application. For whatever reason the application key doesn't seem to set even though it says so. I had to do this manually later.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">
| |

| |
| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| Then I enable access to this new application via web. This is an apache config.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="apache">
| |
| <VirtualHost *:80>
| |
| ServerAdmin admin@hostname.com
| |
| ServerName sanban.hostname.com
| |
| ServerSignature Off
| |
| DocumentRoot /srv/www/sanban/public
| |
| | |
| <Directory /srv/www/sanban/public>
| |
| Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
| |
| AllowOverride All
| |
| Require all granted
| |
| </Directory>
| |
| </VirtualHost>
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| Make sure to restart the httpd (i.e. <code>$ service apache2 restart</code> on Ubuntu).
| |
| | |
| === Post-installation updates ===
| |
| | |
| Laravel installation through its own installer may not get the latest version, so execute <code>$ composer update</code> once from the project home directory. In this example, I'd run it from <span class="shell">/srv/www/sanban</span>.
| |
| | |
| Update <span class="package">app.url</span>, <span class="package">app.timezone</span><ref name="timezone">''PHP Manual''. Program documentation. ''PHP Manual''. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Feb 2015. <http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php>.</ref>.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="php">
| |
| <?php
| |
| // config/app.php
| |
| ..
| |
| 'url' => 'http://hostname.com',
| |
| ..
| |
| 'timezone' => 'America/Denver',
| |
| ..
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| It may be just fine to leave the timezone to UTC if you are going to be accommodate for user's particular timezone through some means. If the application isn't going to be serving users from different time zones and you don't plan to scale it then set it to your local one.
| |
| | |
| Make sure storage is writable by the web server. There are several ways to do this, and one of the ways is to change the ownership so that the web server and you, a developer, can write freely to it.

| |
| $ <b class="color:white;">sudo chown -R www-data:mhan storage</b>

| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| I also like to add a link to <span class="package">artisan</span> PHP executable into my <span class="shell">~/bin</span> folder.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">
| |
| <span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/sanban</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
| |
| $ <b class="color:white;">chmod u+x artisan.sanban && ln -s /srv/www/sanban/artisan ~/bin/artisan.sanban</b>
| |
| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| I add the application short name as an extension to <span class="package">artisan</span> because I have multiple instances of Laravel applications and create links to corresponding <span class="package">artisan</span> executables.
| |
| | |
| ==== For unit testing ====
| |
| | |
| For compatibility reasons, it's better to use the composer-installed phpunit package. You can do this by running <code>$ composer update --dev</code> which will install phpunit package automatically. You may also want to create a symlink to it. This example creates a phpunit.sanban symlink which you can use for this particular instance.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">
| |
| <span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/sanban</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
| |
| $ <b class="color:white;">chmod u+x vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit</b>
| |
| $ <b class="color:white;">ln -s /srv/www/sanban/vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit ~/bin/phpunit.sanban</b>
| |
| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| I also want the unit testing to stop on a failure. You can change <span class="package">stopOnFailure</span> attribute to <span class="package">true</span> in <span class="shell">phpunit.xml</span> file.
| |
| | |
| If you use VIM like I do, you can insert this into your <span class="shell">~/.vimrc</span> file and just hit <code>,t</code> (comma and then t) key combination to run the unit test wherever you are under the project directory. This is a bit long because I have some repetitive bash commands to automatically detect the current application name and use that, i.d. "sanban" in this example.
| |
| | |
| <source lang="vim">
| |
| nmap ,t :!if [ -d .git ] \|\| git rev-parse --git-dir > /dev/null 2>&1; then phpunit.$(cat $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/phpspec.yml \| grep "namespace" \| awk '{print tolower(substr($0,20));exit}') -c $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel); else phpunit.$(cat $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/phpspec.yml \| grep "namespace" \| awk '{print tolower(substr($0,20));exit}'); fi<cr>
| |
| </source>
| |
| | |
| In order for this to work properly your project directory has to be initialized as a git repository.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">
| |
| <span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/sanban</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
| |
| $ <b class="color:white;">git init</b><br>
| |
| <span style="color:#cccccc">Initialized empty Git repository in /srv/www/sanban/.git/</span>
| |
| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| ==== Personal preferences ====
| |
| | |
| I browse, search, and many other things all in CLI, and sometimes it's cumbersome to type in long path names. Symlinks to the rescue! I use <code>i</code> for <span class="shell">/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate</span>.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">
| |
| <span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/sanban</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
| |
| $ <b class="color:white;">ln -s ./vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate i</b>
| |
| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| == Configuration ==
| |
| | |
| ==== Name the application ====
| |
| | |
| I'm naming the application <span class="package">sanban</span>.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">
| |
| <span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/sanban</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
| |
| $ <b style="color:white">artisan.sanban app:name Sanban</b>
| |
| </span>
| |
| </div>
| |
| | |
| ==== Generate an application key ====
| |
| | |
| This is mostly used for the encryption.
| |
| | |
| <div class="cli">

| <span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/sanban</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
