Development Environment with Docker

A full development environment can be brought up using Docker and Laravel Sail, without having to install composer/npm locally

make docker-test

# **OR** with docker directly

docker run --rm \
    -u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
    -v "$(pwd):/var/www/html" \
    -w /var/www/html \
    laravelsail/php83-composer:latest \
    composer install --ignore-platform-reqs
    
# Then you can start sail
./vendor/bin/sail up

Then go to http://localhost.

Instead of repeatedly typing vendor/bin/sail to execute Sail commands, you may wish to configure a shell alias that allows you to execute Sail's commands more easily:

alias sail='[ -f sail ] && sh sail || sh vendor/bin/sail'

Then you can execute php, artisan, composer, npm, etc. commands using the sail prefix:

# PHP commands within Laravel Sail...
sail php --version

# Artisan commands within Laravel Sail...
sail artisan about

# Composer commands within Laravel Sail...
sail composer install

# NPM commands within Laravel Sail...
sail npm run dev

To interact with databases (MariaDB, Redis...), please refer to the Laravel Sail documentation

Building JS/CSS assets

Yarn is required, run:

make build-assets
