Upgrade Guide

Upgrading from version 3.x to 4.x

composer.json

Update the Core package in your composer.json file:

"solital/core": "4.*"

.env

These variables below will no longer be used in version 4.x, so they should be removed.

INDEX_LOGIN="solital_index_login"
PRODUCTION_MODE="false"

config.php

In the config.php file, add the constant SITE_ROOT at the beginning of the file, and replace the line below:

$dotenv = Dotenv\Dotenv::createUnsafeImmutable(__DIR__);
$dotenv->load();

For this:

use Solital\Core\Kernel\Dotenv;

Dotenv::env(__DIR__);

The config.php file should be as follows:

<?php

define('SITE_ROOT', __DIR__);

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Solital\Core\Kernel\Application;
use Solital\Core\Kernel\Dotenv;

Application::sessionInit();
Dotenv::env(__DIR__);

if (!empty(getenv('ERRORS_DISPLAY'))) {
    if (getenv('ERRORS_DISPLAY') == 'true') {
        ini_set('display_errors', 1);
        error_reporting(E_ALL);
    }
}

User command

Find the Config class inside the app/Console/ folder and change the getCommandClass() method:

public function getCommandClass(): array
{
    $this->command_class = Application::getUserCommands();
    return $this->command_class;
}

index.php

First, locate the file inside the public/ folder.

The index.php file has few changes. The only things you need to do are: remove the constant SITE_ROOT as it will already exist in the config.php file, and replace the line below:

Course::csrfVerifier(new BaseCsrfVerifier());

For this:

Application::loadCsrfVerifier();

The index.php file should be as follows:

<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__). '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Solital\Core\Course\Course;
use Solital\Core\Kernel\Application;

Application::autoload("../vendor/solital/core/src/Resource/Helpers/");

Course::setDefaultNamespace('\Solital\Components\Controller');
Application::loadCsrfVerifier();

Application::autoload("../routers/");
Application::init();

Copying new files

After all these changes, you will need to run the following command:

php vinci generate:files

This command will copy configuration files into the app/config folder. This command should be executed whenever there is an important update.

Checking Solital Version

To verify that the update was successful, run php vinci version to see the Core version. Also, run php vinci server to check on the splash screen that everything is working.
