Interesting folders are:
* `public`: Everything in this directory will be publicly accessible via web. Use this folder to serve static images.
* `assets`: The frontend assets are saved here. You can find the javascript and CSS code here.
* `src`: Part-DB's PHP code is saved here. Note that the sub directories are structured by the classes purposes (so use `Controller` Controllers, `Entities` for Database models, etc.)

## Development environment

* Copy `.env` to `.env.local` and change `APP_ENV` to `APP_ENV=dev`. That way you will get development tools (symfony profiler) and other features that

* Copy `.env` to `.env.local` and change `APP_ENV` to `APP_ENV=dev`. That way you will get development tools (Symfony profiler) and other features that
will simplify development.
* Run `composer install` (without -o) to install PHP dependencies and `yarn install` to install frontend dependencies
* Run `yarn watch`. The program will run in the background and compile the frontend files whenever you change something in the CSS or TypeScript files
* For running Part-DB it is recommended to use [Symfony CLI](https://symfony.com/download).

* To check your code for valid code style run `vendor/bin/ecs check src/`
* To fix violations run `vendor/bin/ecs check src/` (please checks afterwards if the code is valid afterwards)
* To check your code for valid code style, run `vendor/bin/ecs check src/`
* To fix violations, run `vendor/bin/ecs check src/ --fix` (please check afterwards if the code is still valid)
