freekrai/jolt-skeleton

A Jolt Framework skeleton application for rapid development of Jolt apps

Twilio Skeleton Application built on the Jolt framework

Use this skeleton application to quickly setup and start working on a new Twilio application. This application uses the latest Jolt and Twilio repositories., _(*1)

This skeleton application was built for Composer. This makes setting up a new Twilio application quick and easy., _(*2)

Install Composer

If you have not installed Composer, do that now. I prefer to install Composer globally in /usr/local/bin, but you may also install Composer locally in your current working directory. For this tutorial, I assume you have installed Composer locally., _(*3)

http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation, _(*4)

Install the Application

After you install Composer, run this command from the directory in which you want to install your new Jolt Framework application., _(*5)

php composer.phar create-project freekrai/jolt-skeleton [my-app-name]

Replace [my-app-name] with the desired directory name for your new application. You'll want to point your virtual host document root to your new application's directory., _(*6)

Edit config.ini with your configuration settings, and that's it! Now go build something cool., _(*7)

Built-in server

With PHP 5.4 and up, we have a built-in web server, this is handy for local development., _(*8)

You can run your new app locally using the following command in the terminal:, _(*9)

php -S localhost:8888 server.php

This will route all processes through the server.php file, which whill then treat this the same as if it was on a web server. This lets you handle local development nicely., _(*10)

Structure

The Twilio Skeleton Application comes complete with a few pieces already in place., _(*11)

1. SQLite database located in content/data/data.sqlite, this database holds user information, it also has a post table for doing whatever else you may want it to do., _(*12)

2. Views, all output is handled by the views folder located in content/views/ the filenames correspond to actions used by the system., _(*13)

3. User system, you can quickly set up a user system with the /signup, /login and /dashboard actions that are already set up. Once logged in, you will also see a user dashboard and the ability to manage other users., _(*14)

You can keep these, or remove them at your leisure, I just fiind it easier to get going when you already have something to work with., _(*15)

Enjoy :), _(*16)
