## What's Phalcon?
Phalcon PHP is a web framework delivered as a C extension providing high performance and lower resource consumption.
## What are Devtools?
This tools provide you useful scripts to generate code helping to develop faster and easy applications that use
with Phalcon framework.
## Requirements
* PHP >= 5.5
* Phalcon >= 3.3.0
## Installing via Composer
Install composer in a common location or in your project:
```bash
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
```
Create the composer.json file as follows:
```json
{
"require-dev": {
"phalcon/devtools": "~3.4"
}
}
```
If you are still using Phalcon 2.0.x, create a `composer.json` with the following instead:
```json
{
"require-dev": {
"phalcon/devtools": "^2.0"
}
}
```
Run the composer installer:
```bash
php composer.phar install
```
## Build `.phar`
Install composer and box in a common location or in your project:
```bash
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
bin/composer install
```
Build phar file `phalcon-devtools`
```bash
bin/box build -v
chmod +xr ./phalcon.phar
# Test it!
php ./phalcon.phar
```
## Installation via Git
Phalcon Devtools can be installed by using Git.
Just clone the repo and checkout the current branch:
```bash
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools.git
cd phalcon-devtools
```
This method requires a little bit more of setup. Probably the best way would be to symlink
the `phalcon` file to a directory in your `PATH`, so you can issue phalcon commands in each directory
where a phalcon project resides.
```bash
cd phalcon-devtools
ln -s $(pwd)/phalcon /usr/bin/phalcon
chmod ugo+x /usr/bin/phalcon
```
If you get a `"phalcon: command not found"` message while creating the symlink, make an alias.
```bash
alias phalcon=/home/[USERNAME]/phalcon-devtools/phalcon
```
## Usage
To get a list of available commands just execute following:
```bash
phalcon commands help
```
This command should display something similar to:
```sh
$ phalcon --help
Phalcon DevTools (3.4.0)
Help:
Lists the commands available in Phalcon devtools
Available commands:
info (alias of: i)
commands (alias of: list, enumerate)
controller (alias of: create-controller)
module (alias of: create-module)
model (alias of: create-model)
all-models (alias of: create-all-models)
project (alias of: create-project)
scaffold (alias of: create-scaffold)
migration (alias of: create-migration)
webtools (alias of: create-webtools)
serve (alias of: server)
console (alias of: shell, psysh)
```
## Database adapter
Should add `adapter` parameter in your `db` config file (if you use not MySQL database).
For PostgreSQL it will be something like:
```php
$config = [
'host' => 'localhost',
'dbname' => 'my_db_name',
'username' => 'my_db_user',
'password' => 'my_db_user_password',
'adapter' => 'Postgresql'
];
```
## Configuration file
By creating **config.json** or any other configuration file called **config** in root project you can set options for all possible commands, for example:
```json
{
"migration" : {
"migrations": "App/Migrations",
"config": "App/Config/db.ini"
},
"controller" : {
"namespace": "Phalcon\\Test",
"directory": "App/Controllers",
"base-class": "App\\MyAbstractController"
}
}
```
And then you can use use `phalcon migration run` or `phalcon controller SomeClass` and those commands will be executed with options from file. Arguments provided by developer from command line will overwrite existing one in file.
