Silverstripe boilerplate module

Simple boilerplate to help kick start a new Silverstripe module.

Creating a new module

Quickly setup a new module skeleton by cloning this repository and deleting the .git folder.

To do this in one line, from the command line run:
(Replace MyModuleFolder with name of the folder where you want to create your new module.)

###Windows
Using Composer

cmd /V /C "set "SS_MODULE_DIR=MyModuleFolder" && composer require gdmedia/silverstripe-module-boilerplate && move silverstripe-module-boilerplate !SS_MODULE_DIR! && composer remove gdmedia/silverstripe-module-boilerplate && IF EXIST !SS_MODULE_DIR!\.git rmdir /q /s !SS_MODULE_DIR!\.git"

Using GIT

cmd /V /C "set "SS_MODULE_DIR=MyModuleFolder" && git clone https://github.com/guru-digital/silverstripe-module-boilerplate.git !SS_MODULE_DIR! && rmdir /q /s !SS_MODULE_DIR!\.git"

###*nix
Using Composer

SS_MODULE_DIR=MyModuleFolder && composer require --prefer-dist gdmedia/silverstripe-module-boilerplate && mv silverstripe-module-boilerplate $SS_MODULE_DIR && composer remove gdmedia/silverstripe-module-boilerplate && [ -d ${SS_MODULE_DIR}/.git ] && rm -r ${SS_MODULE_DIR}/.git

Using GIT

SS_MODULE_DIR=MyModuleFolder && git clone https://github.com/guru-digital/silverstripe-module-boilerplate.git $SS_MODULE_DIR && rm -rf ${SS_MODULE_DIR}/.git

Grunt

You can use Grunt to quickly rename the boiler plate file names and place holders.

###grunt rename-project
To use, after installing with the steps above:

• Edit package.json and update the values to suit your new module.
• Edit Gruntfile.js - lines 5 to 9 and update the values to suit your new module.
• From the command line run:
  (Replace MyModuleFolder with name of the folder where you want to create your new module.)

cd MyModuleFolder
npm install
grunt rename-project

This will:

• Replace all place holder values in all files with related values from package.json and Gruntfile.js - lines 5 to 9
• Update composer.json and bower.json from the corresponding values in package.json
• Rename the following files, replacing MyModule with the value of prefix in Gruntfile.js
  • assets\css\MyModuleCSS.css
  • assets\images\sitetree-images\MyModulePageIcon.png
  • assets\javascript\MyModuleJS.js
  • code\Extension\MyModuleDataExtension.php
  • code\Extension\MyModuleExtension.php
  • code\PageTypes\MyModulePage.php

###grunt update_json
Running grunt update_json will update composer.json and bower.json from the corresponding values in package.json

###grunt jshint
Running grunt jshint will run js hint over all non-minified javascript files in assets/javascript

###grunt uglify
Running grunt uglify will run minify javascript files in assets/javascript

###grunt cssmin
Running grunt cssmin will run minify CSS files in assets/css

###grunt default
Running grunt default will run the update_json, jshint, uglify and cssmin tasks one after another.
