Installation & Usage

Requires PHP 7.1+

To get the latest version of Laravel Zero, simply create a new project using Composer:

composer create-project --prefer-dist nunomaduro/laravel-zero application

Place yourself into the application folder, and execute the application:

php application

Laravel Zero provides a default command placed in app/DefaultCommand.php

You may review the documentation of the Artisan Console component on Laravel's Official Website.

Configuration

The configuration of your console application goes on config\config.php. On this file, you should define your application list of commands and your Laravel Service Providers configuration.

        /*
         * Here goes the application name.
         */
        'name' => 'Laravel Zero',

        /*
         * Here goes the application version.
         */
        'version' => '1.0.0',

        /*
         * If true, development commands won't be available as the app
         * will be in the production environment.
         */
        'production' => false,

        /*
         * Here goes the application default command.
         *
         * You may want to remove this line in order to ask the user what command he
         * wants to execute.
         */
        'default-command' => App\DefaultCommand::class,

        /*
         * Here goes the application list of commands.
         *
         * Besides the default command the user can also call
         * any of the commands specified below.
         */
        'commands' => [
            ZeroFramework\Commands\Builder::class,
            ZeroFramework\Commands\Renamer::class,
        ],

        /*
         * Here goes the application goes the list of Laravel Service
         * Providers. Enjoy all the power of Laravel on your console.
         */
        'providers' => [
            \NunoMaduro\LaravelDesktopNotifier\LaravelDesktopNotifierServiceProvider::class,
        ],

Build a standalone application

Your Laravel Zero project, by default, allows you to build a standalone phar archive to ease the deployment or the distribution of your project.

php application build <name>

The build will provide a single phar archive, ready to use, containing all the code of your project and its dependencies.

Note that the generated file will still need a PHP installation respecting your project's requirements (PHP version, extensions, etc.) on the users' computers to be used. You will then be able to execute it directly:

./builds/<name>

or on Windows:

C:\application\path> php builds\<name>

Git branching model

The git branching model used for development is the one described and assisted by twgit tool: https://github.com/Twenga/twgit.
