Osm Admin: Project Template

Yesterday, I created a template for new projects powered by Osm Admin.

This way, you can create and publish a project in minutes, just follow the README. Yay!

Here is how it went:

• Creating Project Template
• Testing Installation

Creating Project Template

The README mentions a non-existing osmphp/admin-project package.

Let's create it.

1. The project template is almost identical to the generic project template, osmphp/project. I copied its files, and changed the composer.json file as follows:

   {
       "name": "osmphp/admin-project",
       "description": "A template for projects powered by Osm Admin",
       ...
       "require": {
           "php": ">=8.1",
           "osmphp/admin": "^0.2"
       },
       ...
   }

2. I created the osmphp/admin-project repository, and ran these commands:

   git init
   git add .
   git commit -am "Initial commit"
   git branch -M v0.2
   git remote add origin git@github.com:osmphp/admin-project.git
   git push -u origin v0.2

3. I tagged the initial commit as v0.2.0.

4. Finally, I submitted the package to Packagist.

Testing Installation

Several things are not going to work, but let's try it anyway, and fix the issues, one by one.

DONE.

By the way, here is a productive way of editing a project template. You can fully install it as a project, use it to edit some MySql database, and this way, find out what works and what doesn't.

However, before committing changes, delete the composer.lock file. Never-ever commit this file, and you'll be fine.
