Filament Sakila

This project has been created to practice using Filament, the Sakila database I created Pen-y-Fan/sakila has been used as test data.

Requirements

This is a Laravel 9 project. The requirements are the same as a new Laravel 9 project.

• 8.0+
• Composer

Recommended:

• Git

Clone

See Cloning a repository for details on how to create a local copy of this project on your computer.

e.g.

git clone [email protected]:Pen-y-Fan/filament-sakila.git

Install

Install all the dependencies using composer

cd sakila
composer install

Create .env

Create an .env file from .env.example

composer post-root-package-install

Generate APP_KEY

Generate an APP_KEY using the artisan command

php artisan key:generate

Configure Laravel

This experiment uses models and seeders to generate the tables for the database. Tests will use the seeded data, which is based on the Sakila database. configure the Laravel .env file with the database, updating username and password as per you local setup.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=filament_sakila
DB_USERNAME=YourDatabaseUserName
DB_PASSWORD=YourDatabaseUserPassword

Create the database

The database will need to be manually created e.g.

mysql -u YourDatabaseUserName
CREATE DATABASE filament_sakila CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
exit

Although Laravel is compatible with different database servers, some fields used in this database will only work on MySQL servers.

Install Database

This project uses models and seeders to generate the tables for the database. Tests will use the seeded data, which is based on the Sakila database.

php artisan migrate --seed

Run tests

To make it easy to run all the PHPUnit tests a composer script has been created in composer.json. From the root of the projects, run:

composer tests

You should see the results in testDoc format:

PHPUnit 9.5.13 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

Example (Tests\Unit\Example)
 ✔ That true is true

Example (Tests\Feature\Example)
 ✔ The application returns a successful response

User (Tests\Feature\User)
 ✔ A user can be created

Code standard

Easy Coding Standard (ECS) is used to check for style and code standards, PSR-12 is used. Regularly run code standard checks to automatically clean up your code. In particular run before committing any code.

To make it easy to run Easy Coding Standard (ECS) a composer script has been created in composer.json. From the root of the projects, run:

composer check-cs

You should see the results:

                                                                                                                        
 [OK] No errors found. Great job - your code is shiny in style!                                                         
                                                                                                                        

If there are any warning, ECS will advise you to run --fix to fix them, this also has a composer script:

composer fix-cs

Sometimes the fix command needs to be run several times, as one fix will identify more problems, keep running the fix-cs until you get the OK message.

Static Analysis

PhpStan is used to run static analysis checks. Larastan has been installed, which is PhpStan and Laravel rules. Regularly run static analysis checks to help identify problems. In particular run before committing any code.

To make it easy to run PhpStan a composer script has been created in composer.json. From the root of the projects, run:

composer check-cs

You should see the results:

                                                                                                                        
 [OK] No errors                                                                                                         

If PhpStan identifies any problems then review and fix them one by one.

Commit hook

GrumPHP has been installed and configured to run a pre-commit hook, when you git commit any code ECS, PhpStan and PHPUnit will be automatically run, if any of these fail the commit will be rejected. You can always write a rule to bypass the failing code, but it is better to fix the problem.

Filament

To access the Filament dashboard you will need to create a filament user:

php artisan make:filament-user

Follow the prompts for name, email and password

Once created navigate to: /admin and login. You will see the admin portal.
