Announcing: Bonfire - a drop-in admin area

While you may have heard me mention Bonfire, I was waiting to announce it officially until I had it somewhere pretty stable and helpful. That day is today.

Bonfire is a drop-in admin area for your new and existing CodeIgniter 4 applications, installable through Composer. It currently ships with the following features:

• Theme/template system, that ships with a flexible Auth and Admin theme.
  
• View Components to reduce the complexity of your UI by allowing you to create reusable HTML snippets, that can be optionally controlled via code.
  
• A Settings library that allows you to save config file values to the database and access them whether they're in the db or just in the files.
  
• Resource Filter system to make filtering lists of User, Post, etc, simple to implement and with a comfortable, consistent UI.
  
• A powerful, very customizable, user authentication/authorization system, Shield.
  
• Global search feature that modules can easily integrate into
  
• A Recycle Bin to handle restoring/purging soft deleted models that modules can easily integrate into
  
• A way to manage cookie consent to help with GDPR rules.
  
• Site offline status
  
• Online Log viewer/manager
  
• and more...
  

Both of the official packages, Shield and Settings, were originally created for Bonfire, before being taken under the CodeIgniter mantle and fine-tuned.

If you've been in the community for a few years, you might have heard of Bonfire before. Quite a number of years ago I had an original version of this admin area that I had shared. It received a pretty good amount of use, with one company using it on over a hundred sites, and a large hosting company using at for their users to manage their sites, and many more I barely heard from. While the philosophy has changed a little bit between then and now, the idea is the same: provide a good kick-start to your applications to get you up and running as fast as possible while providing a set of tools you can use in the rest of the site as well.

I hope you find it useful, and I look forward to hearing about what you build on it.

I replied to your post over at GitHub inquiring about the PHP version. Can you please head over there and respond so we can figure this out? Thanks.
