Lumen Extended Starter Pack

This package is an extended version of the default Lumen framework with added various features by pre-configured 3rd party packages so it might be hard to catch up things if you are new to PHP and/or Lumen(Laravel) world.

My approach is to create a bootstrap framework to build "real life" applications so this package mostly shaped for my needs. You may need less or more features depending on your project size.

The package is fully covered with unit, integration and acceptance tests and also includes reports for phpunit, phpmd, phploc and phpcpd reports in tests folder.

Note: If you haven'I used any included package before, i strongly suggest to check out it's site to get details about usage.

Installation

• Install the package via git:

git clone https://github.com/turkeryildirim/lumen-extended-starter-pack.git

• Run composer to install dependencies in the root folder of the package:

composer install

• Create your own environment file:

php -r "copy('.env.example', '.env');"

• Make proper configurations in your .env file.
• Check configurations for each file in the config folder.
• Run migrations and seed demo data:

php artisan migrate:fresh --seed

If all above steps are successful then these demo users should be created in database: Admin user: admin@test.com/123456 Regular user: user@test.com/123456

How To Fire Up

• If you use env.example file, you need to be sure each activated service is installed and configured in your local system.
• If you use env.extended file, you will need to run docker images and to accomplish that you need to install docker and docker-compose. After installation you just need to run below command in the root folder of the project:

docker-compose up

• You could check API documentation and use/test API endpoints from: http://localhost/api/documantation/

How To Use

Note: If you haven'I used any included package before, i strongly suggest to check out it's site to get details about usage. Then below details could be more "clear" for you.

• You can define constants in app/Constants folder. It's very useful for text comparisons and also prevents typo.
• You can add more migration, factory and seeder files for your needs. Everything is same with regular Lumen. Unless application environment is set to "production", development seeders (files in database/seeds/development folder) will be loaded to database.
• You need to extend app/Models/BaseModel.php to create new model and you need to set transformer method with proper definition if needed. BaseModel has also several methods to make your life easier.
• If transformer method defined in your model, you need to create a transformation file in app/Transformers folder. This file is also a good place to put swagger model definitions.
• You need to extend app/Http/Controllers/Controller.php to create new controller. This file also has two methods to create success or error response. You'd add swagger definitions too.
• If needed, you need to create policy file for the controller in app/Policiesfolder. Same with Lumen/Laravel.
• If needed, you need to create validation folder in app/Http/Validations with the name of the new controller and validation rules file for each POST and PUT type request method of the controller.
• If needed, you need to extend app/Events/BaseEvent.php to create new event. There are 5 types of event by default which are sms, email, push, database(which is used for on site notifications) and all. You could set it via $type variable while calling the event.
• If needed, you need to extend app/Mails/BaseMail.php to create new mail.
• If needed, you need to extend app/Notifications/BaseNotification.php to create new notification. There are 5 types of notifications by default which are sms, email, push, database and all. These types are passed by an event.
• If needed, you need to create new listener in app/Listeners/ folder. When an event occurs, defined listener (or subscriber) calls notification class. Then that notification class also makes another call(s) (mail, sms etc.) with given event type.
• If needed, you need to extend app/Jobs/Job.php to create new job. Same with Lumen/Laravel.
• There 4 custom classes defined in app/Services
  • ImageStorageService: helps you to upload, resize, crop and make thumbs operations.
  • EmailService: helps you to implement 3rd party mass mailing provider.
  • PushNotificationService: helps you to implement remote push notification service.
  • SmsService: helps you to implement remote sms service.
• You can use 3 route middleware in routes/api.php
  • valid: automatically run validation for the request
  • auth: check authentication for the request
  • can: check user ability for the request (same with Lumen/Laravel)
