Silex 2 with PDO - Boilerplate
This boilerplate is a fully functional Silex Application. You can use it for your new applications., (*1)
This boilerplate is configured with PDO Service Provider (instead of Doctrine, for instance) and Twig.
It also comes with Gulp to build js/sass files (but you can find a version without gulp on master/no-npm branch if you prefer)., (*2)
Note: I only make this boilerplate for my quick and fun projects.
It's configured with Silex 2.0@dev. Use it at your own risk., (*3)
Code Organization
I like organizing my app in terms of features.
For instance, all Controllers/Repositories/Entities/Tests/Views and CSS/JS related to the "Blog" module can be found in ./src/Blog directory tree., (*4)
Config is in ./config directory., (*5)
