# Local Development Setup for Merchbay

## Quick Start

1. **Copy local environment file:**
   ```bash
   cp .env.local .env
   ```

2. **Build and start containers:**
   ```bash
   docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d --build
   ```

3. **Generate application key:**
   ```bash
   docker exec merchbay_app_local php artisan key:generate
   ```

4. **Run migrations:**
   ```bash
   docker exec merchbay_app_local php artisan migrate
   ```

5. **Access the application:**
   - **App:** http://localhost:8080
   - **phpMyAdmin:** http://localhost:8081
     - Username: `merchbay`
     - Password: `secret`

## Development Commands

### View logs
```bash
# Application logs
docker exec merchbay_app_local tail -f storage/logs/laravel.log

# Apache logs
docker logs -f merchbay_app_local
```

### Run artisan commands
```bash
docker exec merchbay_app_local php artisan [command]
```

### Access container shell
```bash
docker exec -it merchbay_app_local bash
```

### Database access
```bash
docker exec -it merchbay_db_local mysql -u merchbay -psecret merchbay
```

### Clear caches
```bash
docker exec merchbay_app_local php artisan cache:clear
docker exec merchbay_app_local php artisan config:clear
docker exec merchbay_app_local php artisan view:clear
```

### Stop containers
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down
```

### Stop and remove volumes (clean slate)
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down -v
```

## Debugging

### Enable Xdebug (if needed)
Add to Dockerfile:
```dockerfile
RUN pecl install xdebug-2.9.8 && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug
```

### Check container status
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml ps
```

### View all logs
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml logs -f
```

## Hot Reload Development

For live code changes without rebuilding:
- Code changes in `.php` files are reflected immediately (via volume mount)
- View changes are reflected immediately
- Config/route changes require cache clearing

## Database Management

### Import SQL dump
```bash
docker exec -i merchbay_db_local mysql -u merchbay -psecret merchbay < dump.sql
```

### Export database
```bash
docker exec merchbay_db_local mysqldump -u merchbay -psecret merchbay > dump.sql
```

## Troubleshooting

### Permission issues
```bash
docker exec merchbay_app_local chown -R www-data:www-data storage bootstrap/cache
docker exec merchbay_app_local chmod -R 775 storage bootstrap/cache
```

### Reset everything
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml down -v
docker rmi merchbay_app:local
rm .env
cp .env.local .env
docker-compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d --build
```

## Notes

- The local setup uses a separate MySQL container
- All code changes are live-mounted for easy development
- Mail is logged to `storage/logs/laravel.log` instead of being sent
- phpMyAdmin is available for easy database management
