FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package starter
Starter project
Installation
Before creating your first GustavPHP project, you should ensure that your local machine has PHP and Composer installed.
After you have installed PHP and Composer, you may create a new GustavPHP project via the create-project command:
Usage
After the project has been created, start GustavPHP's local development server using the dev command:
The starter marks its in-memory Jokes implementation with
#[Service(as: JokeProvider::class)] and maps APP_NAME into the immutable
ApplicationConfig class. Gustav discovers both, so the application entrypoint
contains no service bindings or instance setup.
Application commands work the same way. Classes under src/Commands are
discovered automatically and receive constructor dependencies from the service
container. Try the included typed command:
Both the HTTP worker and php gustav load app/bootstrap.php, so project
configuration has a single source of truth.
Jokes also dispatches a typed JokeTold event through the injected PSR-14
dispatcher. Gustav discovers the invokable #[Listener] class in src/Events
and injects its logger without an event registry or static dispatch call.
Safe local defaults live in .env. Put machine-specific overrides in the
ignored .env.local file; real process environment variables take precedence
over both. Typed configuration classes under src/Config can be injected into
controllers and services like any other dependency.
Controllers are discovered through #[Controller]. Use a class-level path
prefix with concise #[Get], #[Post], and other HTTP method attributes. The
included Api controller is a plain immutable class; extending
Controller\Base is only useful when you want its view and response helpers.
Conventional projects also get lazy server-side sessions in storage/sessions.
Inject GustavPHP\Gustav\Session instead of configuring the application
instance. The /session example demonstrates persistent values, one-request
flash data, session invalidation, and a form protected with #[Csrf].
Use deployment environment variables for production credentials. The included
.dockerignore prevents a developer's .env.local from being copied into an
image.
Production
Start the production server with:
The included .rr.prod.yaml keeps Gustav's newline-delimited JSON application
logs intact on RoadRunner's server channel. Gustav reports every 5xx once
and includes the response's X-Request-ID in that record. Inject
Psr\Log\LoggerInterface for application logs and
GustavPHP\Gustav\Http\RequestId when they need request correlation.
