A Slim framework 3 bootstrap that is very foxy indeed.

Slim Console

Available Commands:

• php slim app:test : A simple Test Command
• php slim app:config : List out all of your stored configuration values, for quick access
• php slilm migration:create : Create a new Database Migration
• php slim migration:migrate : Run the migrations
• php slim migration:reset : Reset all Migrations
• php slim migration:rollback : Rollback previous Migration

Migrations

Migrations are configured in phinx.php instead of the default phinx.yml to allow us to pull bootstrap configuration from our application.

Middleware Available

• ThrottleMiddleware : Add rate limiting to routes or groups of routes, with customisable rate limits per attachment

Mailables

Mailables are a great way to send quick emails, I took inspiration from Laravel for how this is done. Thanks to Alex at CodeCourse for the amazing tutorial.

Messageables

Messageables are a great way to send SMS messages. In config/message.php be sure to set up your Twilio account details. There is one Messageable class aready built: app/Message/Welcome.php what this does is build up a template from resources/views/message/welcome.twig and prepares this from the configuration to send as a text message. The way we send it is usually from the controller, like so:

$this->message->to('+44 - UK Mobile Number minus leading 0 -')->create(new WelcomeMessage());

Please ensure that it is a UK phone number, options for sending outside the UK is in Twilio documentation.

Future Development

For future development this feature is going to be toggleable, so in you application config you can turn it on or off.

Also the Slim console will have a command to create a new Messageable.
