Getting Started

Requirements

Your server/development computer must meet these requirements in order to run Invention Framework Apps:

• PHP v7.4.0 or higher
• NodeJS JavaScript Runtime v12.0.0 or higher
• PHP PDO extension with sqlite and mysql driver
• PHP JSON extension

Installation

You can install Invention using Composer:

composer create-project onesoft-sudo/invention-project myapp

This will create an Invention project in myapp/ directory.

Quick start

Make sure that PHP is installed globally, otherwise the app might not work properly. Go to your project directory and run:

npm install
npm run dev
php console serve

The first command installs the project dependencies, the second one compiles the javascript and css files and puts them into the public/ folder and the last command starts a local development server (PHP's built in dev server) at localhost:8080.

You can now open http://localhost:8080 using your favourite browser.
