• Use the script database/create_database_mysql.sql (create_database_mssql.sql) to create a demo database necessary for some examples.
• View and study the API documentation in the folder docs or here API documentation.
• Study the core code of the library SmartFactory.

To start writing own application using SmartFactory

1. Git-clone the demo application SmartFactoryDemo and run 'composer update'.

2. Study the directory structure of the demo application and the code.

3. Implement your classes and functions.

4. Bind you classes to the interfaces in the file initialization_inc.php to be able to use the IoC approach for creating objects offered by the library SmartFactory.

5. Implement you business logic in the root directory or any subdirectory.

6. Implement the API request handlers for JSON or XML requests if necessary.

7. Add translation texts for your application over the localization/edit.php or directly into the JSON file localization/texts.json. Use the script localization/check.php to check your translations for missing translations.
