Figured Starter

This is a starter for Laravel, running under Docker with MongoDB.

Get started

To run, you need docker and docker compose & to be able to run bash scripts.

a) cd to the working project directory and run

./start-app.sh

b) once all docker images are downloaded and initialised

./init-app.sh

Wait for composer, yarn and Mongo setup to complete.

A basic laravel app should then be available at http://localhost:8080

Running laravel commands

Because we are running under an image called app we have to use docker-compose exec. For example:

docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate 

Running yarn

docker-compose exec app yarn

Running composer

docker-compose exec app composer install

Running tests

As above, we need to run tests using exec, E.g.

docker-compose exec app ./vendor/bin/phpunit
