-`app/routes.php`: All application routes
- `config/app.config.php`: Main application configuration. Sets modules and config cache path
- `config/dev.config.php.dist`: Application configuration for development. Create a `dev.config.php` to include development related modules and to disable config caching.
- `config/settings/{,*.}{global,local}.php`: Configuration files for Slim settings; `*.global.php` are loaded first and then can be overridden by `*.local.php`
- `public/index.php`: Application entry point
## Application configuration and settings
### Application config
Modules to include are defined in `config/app.config.php` file.
The order of module definition matters if a module depends from another. For example, if ModuleA depends on ModuleB, ModuleB must be defined before ModuleA.
_More information about modules in [Modular application skeleton](#modular-application-skeleton) section._
Also, in this file is defined the path to store the merged settings, that are loaded from `config/settings`. See [Slim settings files](#slim-settings-files) for more information.
``` php
<?php
return [
'modules' => [
// Modules definition. Full path for module file
'module/application/bootstrap.php',
],
// Full path for file to store merged configuration
- `sch_mm.local.php.dist`: defines api url and credentials for mm.sch.gr
- `schools.global.php`: defines settings for schools module
- `sso.local.php.dist`: defines phpCAS settings for sso.sch.gr
- `twig.global.php`: defines twig settings
## Html rendering and Templates
Application uses [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) as template engine for rendering html.
## Modular application skeleton
Application is base on [Slim Framework](http://www.slimframework.com/) and is implemented in a modular way. There are some key concepts that should be taken in mind, in order to implement a fully functional module.
### Dependency Container
Application uses the default `Slim\Container` for handling dependencies. See http://www.slimframework.com/docs/concepts/di.html for more information.
### Autoloading
Application uses composer's autoloader `Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader` to handle class autoloading. See https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/doc/01-basic-usage.md#autoloading for more information.
### Application events
Application uses `Knlv\events` function to handle events. See [php-events](https://github.com/kanellov/php-events).
After `Slim\App` initialization the following events are triggered:
1. `app.autoload`: Modules that listen to this event can setup the class autoloading. Event listener should expect the `Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader` instance as argument.
2. `app.services`: Modules that listen to this event can register their services in the `Slim\Container` Dependency Container.
3. `app.bootstrap`: When this event is triggered, autoloading is completed and dependency container should contain all registered services. Modules listening for this event can register routes, or override services in the Dependency Container.
### How to define a module
A module is defined with a file which should return a Closure.
Here is a typical module implementation:
``` php
<?php
return function (Slim\App $app) {
// module initialization code
$container = $app->getContainer();
$events = $container->get('events');
$events('on', 'app.autoload', function ($autoloader) {
Master module that defines the basic services such as:
- `Slim\Views\Twig` for view

## Run it:
1. `$ cd gredu_labs`
2. `$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8888 -t public public/index.php`
3. Browse to http://localhost:8888
**Warning:** assets_manager module does not work with php-server sapi. Assets from modules will have to be copied in `public` directory by hand.
