Installation

How to include

Installing the plugin is the same as for any other CakePHP plugin.

Install via Composer:

composer require dereuromark/cakephp-shim

The following command can enable the plugin:

bin/cake plugin load Shim

Loading is usually optional

For most cases the plugin load step is not necessary. The elements of this plugin can be used directly where needed. If nothing is used, nothing is loaded out of the box — which makes the plugin quite safe to have around so you can pick only what you need.

Testing with MySQL/Postgres

By default the test suite uses SQLite, which is available out of the box.

To run all tests including the MySQL ones, set:

export DB_URL="mysql://root:yourpwd@127.0.0.1/cake_test"

To run all tests including the Postgres ones, set:

export DB_URL="postgres://postgres@127.0.0.1/postgres"

Then run:

composer test

WARNING

Make sure the corresponding cake_test or postgres database exists before running the suite.
