This project is archived. Though a good start, I've realised with time that this is not a good structure for what I strive to build. I've not abandonned the idea of this project, but the new version will surely be entirely re-written in another language, while being way more modular. If you wish to take this project, please mail me at m a i l [ a t ] l y e s [ d o t ] e u (remove the spaces and replace the [at] and [dot]) to take over it, I would give you maintainership. Please bear in mind that while using outdated library and horrible graphics, I still think that I've left this project in good shape, with good documentation (even though missing some comments for later code). And it is quite advanced. It shouldn't be too hard to make it thriving again, and the switch to Symfony 5 shouldn't be too painful! Also, e-mail me if you're interested in developping its continuation and if your interested in my plans!

FAQ

Why do you use Symfony for your project?

Because having a common convention is essential to have a clear code! And we use Symfony because it's a simple and Open Source framework for php (especially Symfony 4) that have many bundles that simplify coding. It's also a framework that simplify working in group.

HELP! I don't know how to use Symfony!

If you don't know how to use Symfony you can use the documentation here. You'll see it's very simple! You only have to know how to code in PHP! (Warning: Symfony 4 and 3 are very different, be sure that you know the good one)

How can I install HAY on my PC?

A tutorial is available here ;)!

And a GUI installer is in development and will be available before the alpha release.

Is there a Docker file I can use?

Not for now, but I will provide one before the alpha release.

How to update HAY?

Well that's suprisingly complicated, as HAY is still in pre-alpha, update instructions might change... from commit to commit. But in alpha, clear and consistent update mechanism will be provided.

But, it's usually:
git pull
composer install
yarn install
yarn encore dev
./bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
