Option A) Through a PHP file (useful on a web server) – Copy the line below into a php file (e.g. install.php) on the directory you want to install Sled in, run it by navigating to it (e.g. site.com/install.php) and follow the setup instructions.
<?file_put_contents("tmp.php",file_get_contents("https://sled.buzzbar.co/install"));include "tmp.php";
Option B) Through the Command Line (useful on a local installation) – Copy the line below into the terminal and follow the instructions:
curl https://sled.buzzbar.co/install | php
To test a local installation you can run a local PHP web server using the command below.
sled/serve
The config.php file overwrites the default settings on /sled/sled-config.php so you can have a look at that file to see what other settings you can change, and then override them on config.php. Whenever we update the Sled installation, the sled-config.php will be rewritten with the default settings, but the config.php will be left untouched. More on this on the Updating Sled section.
The config.php file will look like this after installation:
<?
return [
'domain' => 'website.com',
'base-url' => 'https://www.website.com',
'routes' => [
'404' => '404.php',
'' => 'index.php',
'$page-slug' => 'page.php'
],
'dependencies' => [
'scripts' => [
'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery@3.4.1/dist/jquery.min.js',
//'/js/app.js'
],
'stylesheets' => [
//'/css/styles.css'
]
]
];Say your website (www.website.com) has an index.html and a contacts.html. You could now set the routes to the following:
'routes' => [
'404' => '404.html',
'' => 'index.html',
'contacts' => 'contacts.html'
]Now you should be able to access the same pages by navigating to www.website.com and www.website.com/contacts. We've also included a 404 route, which in this case just takes us to the same index.html page.
'blog' => 'blog-index.php',
'blog/$post-title' => 'blog-post.php'The dollar sign on $post-title tells the Router that this is a dynamic part of the url. when inside blog-post.php, the value of this dynamic part of the url can be accessed in PHP through the $_GET object, in this case you would use $_GET['post-title'].
This means that www.website.com/blog/my-post-title is effectively the same thing as www.website.com/blog-post.php?post-title=my-post-title (except the former is prettier!).A quick note on using the router and relative URLs: Your browser will naturally try to read the url as a directory structure so if you have a URL like www.website.com/blog/my-post-title and then include an image with a relative URL like src="assets/image.jpg" or src="./assets/image.jpg" (notice the dot before the backslash), the browser will try to load it from www.website.com/blog/assets/image.jpg instead of www.website.com/assets/image.jpg which is probably what you intended. The same is valid for links (e.g. a href="contacts") or anything else that's loaded from the client side.
The solution is to either specify the base url:
<head>
<base href='/'>
</head>..or use absolute URLs starting with a /: src="/assets/image.jpg" or a href="/contacts".
You are free to manage your CSS and JS dependencies independently but if instead you set them on the dependencies list on config.php, you get a couple of things for free:
You can have internal or external dependencies and this is how you can set them on the config.php file:
'dependencies' => [
'scripts' => [
'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery@3.4.1/dist/jquery.min.js',
'/js/app.js',
'/js/carousel/carousel.js'
],
'stylesheets' => [
'/css/styles.css',
'/css/carousel/carousel.css',
'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Rubik:wght@300;400;500&display=swap',
'https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.7.1/css/all.css'
]
]
To use Dependencies you will need to start by including the Sled class and then loading the dependencies where you want them to be inserted on the page, e.g.:
<?include_once __DIR__.'/sled/sled.php'?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<base href='/'>
<?Sled::dependencies()?>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
<?
include_once __DIR__.'/sled/sled.php'
$data = Sled::load([
'collections' => ['pages', 'categories'],
'filters' => [
// simple filters
// in base collection 'pages' > gets items in the 'pages' collection field where 'slug' field is page parameter 'page-slug'
'pages/pages/slug' => $_GET['page-slug'],
'pages/pages/published' => true,
'pages/pages/title' => ['!=', 'forbidden page title'],
// complex filters
'pages/pages' => function ($el) { return
Sled::equivalent($_GET['page-slug'], $el['slug'])
;}
],
'sorting' => [
'categories/categories' => 'name asc',
'categories/categories/sub-categories' => 'name asc'
]
]);
consoleLog($data);
?>
