Installation Process of Composer

In order to run CakePHP we need to install composer by the followingsteps
Steps to Download & Installation of Composer

Step1: Please visite the Official Web Site of the Composer www.getcomposer.org

Step2: Click on the Download option

Step3: Click on the Composer-Setup.exe you are done with download

Step4: Now Right click on the Composer-Setup.exe file and select Run as administrator click on Yes

Step5: You'll be getting two options click as per your choice

Step6: I choose Recommended option here and if your developer you can check the box of the Developer Mode

Step7: And click on the Next button please make sure of installation path and then click Next

Step8: You'll be asked to enter proxy url please skip the step and click on the Next button

Step9: Please make sure with the PHP Version it should not be less than 7.3 V, here we used 8.2.12 Version and then click on the next button

Step10: To confirm that Composer is installed in your system then type Composer in command prompt (if you are using XAMPP then go to C:\xampp\htdocs location and type composer)

How to Run CakePHP Project in localhost

If you have installed XAMPP on your machine then please follow the below steps

Step:1 Quick view of Installations

1. Download and Install the Composer from official site https://getcomposer.org/

2. Install Cake PHP by using Composer as mentioned in the installation process above.

Step:2 Run project

1. Extract the zip folder of the Cake PHP project in the path: EX: C:\xampp\htdocs\ that you have received after purchase.

2. Once the extraction is completed for accessing the Cake PHP project, open command prompt or terminal and set your project root path: Example: C:\xampp\htdocs\

3. Open the terminal and set the root path of your template and then run the following command: "composer install" only if it is required to update your "vendor" directory.

4. Now run the below commands in the terminal to get the output of the project. To get the node_modules install.

code

 npm install

Then, run the following command to build the assets.

code

gulp

5. Open a new terminal in the same root path, then run the following command to start the CakePHP server:

code

 bin/cake server

6. In my case, the CakePHP Development Server is started at http://localhost:8765 port, but it might be different port in your case.

7. Copy the url and past it in your favorite browser and hit enter to access your project

Purpose of a Starter Kit

Introduction to the CakePHP Starter Kit:

The CakePHP starterkit is a resource that helps developers kickstart their CakePHP web development projects by providing a preconfigured and ready-to-use template. It aims to simplify the initial setup and provide a foundation for building CakePHP Framework-based websites or applications.

Purpose of the CakePHP Starter Kit:

The purpose of the CakePHP starter kit is to save developers time and effort by offering a set of prebuilt files and configurations commonly used in CakePHP projects. Instead of starting from scratch, developers can leverage the starter kit to quickly set up a project structure that adheres to best practices and industry standards.

Benefits of Using the CakePHP Starter Kit:

The starter kit eliminates the need to set up the basic project structure manually. It provides a well-organized file and folder structure, including commonly used directories for separating code, templates, assets, and configuration files. This allows developers to focus more on implementing business logic rather than spending time on initial setup.

Starterkit Overview

You can use the Starterkit if you are creating a new project. It will be time-consuming to use the full admin version for a new project as Sash have more than 137 pages.

We have provided all the pre-build layouts like Sidemenu, Header, footer and blank pages etc in the Starterkit.

For further information or support regarding the template, please contact us using the provided link: https://support.spruko.com/

  • Take a quick look at the folder structure of the "Starterkit."
  • Integration of your customized PHP pages becomes easy when using the "Starterkit."
  • The "Starterkit" provides all the layout components, related assets, and plugins.
  • To explore the contents of the "Starterkit," unzip the project folder received after purchase.
    • Navigate to the following paths:
  • Example: C:/projectname/templates/layout/- This folder contains files such as ajax.php, default.php and error.php files.
  • Example: C:/projectname/templates/element/- This folder contains files such as app-header.php, app-sidebar.php and footer.php, and switcher.php pages.
  • Example: C:/projectname/templates/Pages/- This folder contains files such as home.php, files and etc..,.

Sash comes with power of Gulp

Gulp is a popular JavaScript task runner that automates common development tasks, such as compiling Sass to CSS, minifying JavaScript and CSS files, optimizing images, and more. Gulp allows developers to define tasks that process files in a project, and then run those tasks automatically when files are changed or when specific commands are issued.for more information about gulp Check here.
