See Minibase for a much better framework.
Super lightweight OOP MVC framework for PHP.
- Module support ( application can depend on applications, fully recursive )
- Applications are fully separated. No global constants, no static code, just clean objects.
- Using known design patterns.
- Namespaced.
- Easy to get started
- Routes and reverse routing.
- Javascript routes (This is really cool ! )
- Support for our own lightweight DB Abstract layer (PDO) and Doctrine 2 ORM, and easy to use other DBAL/ORM ( like redbreans, propel etc )
- Loose coupled code.
It exists dozens of web application frameworks for PHP already, why did we create REKS framework and why should you use it for future projects?
REKS is a extremely modular built framework, especially the module system. Think about if you where about to create a blog system, a blog system might have these components (modular components):
- User authentication system
- Content system for the blog
- Commenting system
All these 3 systems can be split in to 3 modules. You might think that this is hard to split up and that takes time, but in REKS its not worse then copying the applicable routes, configs, controllers, views and models + libraries etc into a new application folder and include the module in the configuration of the parent application.
REKS is cool, it's api is really, REALLY simple and easy to use.
$file = $this->request->file->get('myfile');
if ($file){
$file->validator->isImage()->extensions(array('gif', 'png'));
$file->upload("{$this->app->APP_PATH}/cache/{$file->getName()}");
}
jsRoutes.NewsController.index().ajax(function(){
success: function(data){
alert("Successful ajax req.");
}
});
<?php echo $form = $view->createForm('myForm') ?>
<?php echo $form->input('text', 'search')?><button type="submit">Search!</button>
<?php echo $form->close() ?>
In production, we know that you want css files and javascript files compiled to one single file, so, just use our simple API (Twig).
{% asset "css" "style.css" %}
{% asset "js" "jquery.css" %}
{% asset "css" "css/ui.css" %}
And in header between <head> tags.
{{scripts("css")}}
And in the footer, anywhere.
{{scripts("js")}}
