The project shows to developers how to work with the APIs, how to configure and develop a custom plugin and handle the front-end output with a custom theme.

Requirements

• PHP >= 5.6.4
• Themosis framework >= 1.3.0

Notes

The bookstore project is a simple website showing some of the available APIs of the Themosis framework.

The project is composed of the following elements:

• The Themosis framework core plugin
• The bookstore theme
• A books-manager plugin developed based on the Themosis framework plugin boilerplate
• A bookstore-faqs minimalist plugin using some framework APIs
• The uploads directory with media images used along the project content

The project's theme is by default configured to use Twig views stored into its resources/views/twig directory but there are also Blade views stored into the resources/views/blade.

We encourage you to explore both plugins and the theme code in order to get familiar with the APIs of the Themosis framework.
