php-youtube-dl

A wrapper for @yt-dlp with PHP and React

challenge : php and react ( with webpack ) in dev

This was a good practice for integrating php into react project! App itself is easy as it gets! but mixing was good.

How it works ( for dev ) :

nodemon.js is the answer. npm start launches the nodemon.js and it will execute an empty fake-server-script.js. ( as we need php server not js server ) after that , it starts a php-built-in-server [php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t ./dist] for serving files. so nodemon watches the files for changes ( to run webpack ) and php servs them.

How to use :

1. git clone to your server

2. do not npm start! ( it's just for dev )

3. delete dev files and keep the product :
   • if server is windows : npm run windows
   • if server is linux : npm run linux
4. or just use releases :)
