Windows PHP developement setup

Ian — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 11:42:30 +0000

Hi,

I've been developing PHP apps on my mac using Laravel Valet for quite some time.

However, I recently also got a windows based pc on which I'd like to do some coding as well.

But I'm currently struggling with the developement server setup.

Laravel Valet is dead simple and works like a charm, is there a similar alternative on Windows?
I've tried WSL with Apache2 as well, however I'd like to avoid having to deal with vHosts configurations for each project.

XAMMP isn't an option.

Thanks!

package.json copy file in Windows

Hi,
I'm currently trying to setup a boilerplate for my web projects.
But somehow I can't figure out, how to write a script in my package.json that copies a file from the node modules folder to my public folder.

Windows probably has problems with the slash?
I'd be great if the solution could be compatible to macOS and windows since I use both.

"copyVue": "cp node_modules/vue/dist/vue.js public/app/js/vue.js"

Thank you!

Git- Automatic pull on production server?

Ian — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 07:55:55 +0000

Hi,

I'm hosting my own Gitea server on which I have most of my web projects stored.

After pushing changes to a repo, I always have to connect to my shared hosting server on which I cloned the repo and run "git pull".

I know I could setup a cronjob to run this command every few minutes, but is there a better solution, which would allow an instant deployment?

Thanks!

Starting backend developement, what to learn?

Ian — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 09:26:39 +0000

Hi,

I started learning PHP a while ago and coded some smaller web applications.
But I recently noticed that I probably need to lean some JS in order to improve the overall workflow of e.g. writing data to the DB, displaying it, filtering...

But I'm not sure how to start, learning the basics of JS and then some sort of framework, e.g. vue? But do I even need a framework?

And how would the overall structure of the app look like?
Writing a API in PHP and doing the rest in JS and sending the data to the API?

Thanks!

How to setup remote repo in shared hosting

Ian — Sat, 27 Jan 2018 10:29:06 +0000

Hi,

I just installed git on my mac, now I want to be able to push my local repo to my shared hosting.
The shared hosting has git installed, now I am wondering how I have to set it up to be able to push my local repo to the shared hosting server.
