Sanscheese Craft 3 CMS scaffolding project

About nystudio107/craft

This is an alternate scaffolding package for Craft 3 CMS projects to Pixel & Tonic's canonical craftcms/craft package., _(*2)

In addition to setting up a new Craft 3 CMS project, this project sets up:, _(*3)

• Craft 3 Multi-Environment as described in the Multi-Environment Config for Craft CMS article
• Craft-Scripts as described in the Database & Asset Syncing Between Environments in Craft CMS, Mitigating Disaster via Website Backups & Hardening Craft CMS Permissions articles

...and sets up some other base scaffolding as described to the following articles:, _(*4)

• A Better package.json for the Frontend
• A Gulp Workflow for Frontend Development Automation
• Implementing Critical CSS on your website
• Simple Static Asset Versioning in Craft CMS
• Enhancing a Craft CMS 3 Website with a Custom Module

It also installs a few base plugins that I use on every project. You can read more about it in the Setting up a New Craft 3 CMS Project article., _(*5)

Assumptions Made

Since this is boilerplate that nystudio107 uses for projects, it is by definition opinionated, and has a number of assumptions:, _(*6)

• Gulp is used as a the frontend workflow automation tool
• Vue is used as the frontend JavaScript framework, with Axios providing the http client
• Tailwind CSS is used as the utility-first CSS framework
• Nginx with ssi on; is used as the web server
• Redis is used as the PHP Session and Craft data caching method
• Critical CSS is used site-wide
• FontFaceObserver is used for font loading
• Craft-Scripts are used for db/asset synching
• Craft 3 Multi-Environment is used for the Craft 3 multi-environment setup

Obviously you're free to remove whatever components you don't need/want to use., _(*7)

Using nystudio107/craft

This project package works exactly the way Pixel & Tonic's craftcms/craft package works; you create a new project by first creating & installing the project:, _(*8)

composer create-project nystudio107/craft PATH -s RC

Make sure that PATH is the path to your project, including the name you want for the project, e.g.:, _(*9)

composer create-project nystudio107/craft craft3 -s RC

Then cd to your new project directory, and run Craft's setup console command to create your .env environments and optionally install:, _(*10)

cd PATH
./craft setup

Finally, run the nys-setup command to configure Craft-Scripts & Craft 3 Multi-Environment based on your newly created .env settings:, _(*11)

./nys-setup

That's it, enjoy!, _(*12)

If you ever delete the vendor folder or such, just re-run:, _(*13)

./nys-setup

...and it will re-create the symlink to your .env.sh; don't worry, it won't stomp on any changes you've made., _(*14)

Below is the entire intact, unmodified README.md from Pixel & Tonic's craftcms/craft:, _(*15)
