Switch to Development context

You should enable the Development context for your first steps into the world of FLOW3!
Check the FLOW3 reference and/or the tutorials for instructions.

Getting started

Here's how to get into the flow:

  1. Kickstart your first package

    Go to {flow3PathRoot}
    and run the following lines of code:
    set FLOW3_CONTEXT=Development
    set FLOW3_ROOTPATH={flow3PathRoot}
    set FLOW3_WEBPATH={flow3PathWeb}
    flow3.bat kickstart:package MyCompany.MyPackage
    to create a package with a standard controller

    Go to {flow3PathRoot}
    and run
    ./flow3 kickstart:package MyCompany.MyPackage
    to create a package with a standard controller

  2. Test your controller

    Click on this link to trigger your new package

    "MyCompany.MyPackage" has either not yet been created or not activated. Follow step 1 and reload this page.

    If you named your package "SomethingElse" visit {baseUri}SomethingElse/

  3. Read the tutorial

    Switch over to the Quickstart Tutorial to get the a first overview.

  4. Deactivate the Welcome package (optional)

    Deactivate the Welcome package with
    flow3.bat package:deactivate TYPO3.Welcome ./flow3 package:deactivate TYPO3.Welcome

    Afterwards make sure to remove the "Welcome" SubRoute definition from the global routes in Configuration/Routes.yaml.

About

About FLOW3

FLOW3 is an offspring from the development of the upcoming version 5 of TYPO3 and can be used independently from TYPO3 as an application framework. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 or later.

Credits

Many people have contributed to FLOW3 with ideas, design, testing, money, code and espresso. A big thank you goes to the TYPO3 community and the members of the TYPO3 Assocation who made the development of FLOW3 possible at all.

The main part of FLOW3 was designed and developed by Robert Lemke. The Content Repository implementation was developed and major contributions to FLOW3 were made by Karsten Dambekalns, who co-leads the FLOW3 project. Andreas Förthner designed and developed the Security Framework while Bastian Waidelich created the initial implementation of FLOW3's routing mechanism. Sebastian Kurfürst and Bastian Waidelich designed and implemented the Fluid templating engine.

Further important contributions were made by the FLOW3 team, including Daniel Brün, Thomas Hempel, Christopher Hlubek, Christian Jul Jensen, Tobias Liebig and Nils Jeisecke.

Further documentation and the PHP Code Sniffer Rules have been contributed by Irene Höppner, Tim Eilers and Malte Jensen.

The initial design of the AOP framework and the IoC container were inspired by the viFramework developed by Florian Grandel who also pointed Robert to the Spring Framework which was a great source for inspiration. Further frameworks and projects which influenced the design of FLOW3 are AspectJ, NanoContainer, Ruby on Rails, Symfony, QT and surely more.

The overall design and concepts would be way less mature and elegant if experts like Martin Fowler, Eric Evans, Jimmy Nilsson, Kent Beck or Paul Duvall wouldn't have shared their insights in books and talks.

Many more contributions have been made by various members of the TYPO3 and PHP community - thanks to all of you!
