ES2: CodeIgniter4 Version

A Twitter-like social media app written using CodeIginter4. Made as a final project for the web dev class at my university.

Unnecessarily complex because I like pain, and regular CRUD app is just plain boring.

Also see the vanilla PHP version here.

Running Locally

I used Ubuntu WSL to develop for this one. Using XAMPP? Too bad, you need to figure it yourself.

1. Setup the LAMP stack, I used this tutorial.
2. Install Composer.
3. Check for enabled extensions.

   $ ls /etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/
   10-mysqlnd.ini   20-exif.ini      20-mysqli.ini      20-sqlite3.ini
   10-opcache.ini   20-ffi.ini       20-pdo_mysql.ini   20-sysvmsg.ini
   10-pdo.ini       20-fileinfo.ini  20-pdo_sqlite.ini  20-sysvsem.ini
   15-xml.ini       20-ftp.ini       20-phar.ini        20-sysvshm.ini
   20-bz2.ini       20-gd.ini        20-posix.ini       20-tokenizer.ini
   20-calendar.ini  20-gettext.ini   20-readline.ini    20-xmlreader.ini
   20-ctype.ini     20-iconv.ini     20-shmop.ini       20-xmlwriter.ini
   20-curl.ini      20-intl.ini      20-simplexml.ini   20-xsl.ini
   20-dom.ini       20-mbstring.ini  20-sockets.ini     20-zip.ini

4. Copy the env file to .env and modify it if needed.
5. Create an empty database named the same as in the .env file.
6. Run the migration

   composer install
   php spark migrate
   php spark db:seed AllSeeder

7. Serve

   php spark serve
   

Optional Dependencies

To ease the pain for developing the client-side JavaScript you can install Node and get some autocomplete.

npm install
