Contao is a powerful open source CMS that allows you to create professional websites and scalable web applications. Visit the project website for more information.
The purpose of this package is to develop the Contao bundles. Use it if you e.g. want to create a pull request or if you want to report an issue.
The monorepo is split into separate packages automatically:
- CalendarBundle
- CommentsBundle
- CoreBundle
- FaqBundle
- InstallationBundle
- ListingBundle
- MakerBundle
- ManagerBundle
- NewsBundle
- NewsletterBundle
Please do not use contao/contao
in production! Use the split packages
instead.
To create a pull request and to test your changes within a running Contao application, it is the easiest to use the Contao Managed Edition. Start by installing it in your current directory:
composer create-project --no-install contao/managed-edition <directory> <branch>
Replace <directory>
with the directory you want to install the Managed
Edition in (use .
for the current one). Replace <branch>
with 4.x-dev
if
you want to add a new feature or with <lts-version>.x-dev
(currently
4.9.x-dev
) if you want to fix a bug.
Then adjust the require
section in your composer.json
file so Composer
loads the monorepo instead of the individual bundles:
"require": {
"php": "^7.2",
"contao/contao": "4.x-dev"
},
Again, use 4.x-dev
if you want to add a new feature or <lts-version>.x-dev
if you want to fix a bug.
Next, install the dependencies:
composer update
Composer will automatically clone the Git repo into the vendor/contao/contao
folder. You can finish your setup by opening
https://your-domain.local/contao/install
in your browser.
All the changes you make in vendor/contao/contao
are tracked via Git, so
you can submit your pull request directly from within your application.
First install the code quality tools:
composer bin all update
Then run the code quality scripts via Composer:
composer run all
composer run unit-tests
composer run cs-fixer
composer run phpstan
composer run psalm
If you want to pass additional flags to the underlying commands, you can use
the --
argument:
composer run unit-tests -- --filter CoreBundle
composer run cs-fixer -- --clear-cache
To set up functional tests, create a database named contao_test
:
mysql -e "CREATE DATABASE contao_test"
If your database uses credentials, copy the file core-bundle/phpunit.xml.dist
to core-bundle/phpunit.xml
and adjust the following line:
<php>
<env name="DATABASE_URL" value="mysql://root@localhost:3306/contao_test" />
</php>
Then run the functional tests via the run
command:
composer run functional-tests
