Introduction
Ideas for a new PHP framework.
Reasons
There are lots of frameworks out there - why create another one?
Selling points of this framework:
- Welcoming community
- No overbearing '(benevolent) dictator for life' - want to move to a group model as soon as possible, either as a separate foundation or under an existing umbrella
- Tutorial documentation as well as API references
- Minimal overhead - mostly a collection of existing modules with a bit of glue to hold them together
- Convention over configuration - do not allow people to change things
- Support whichever version of PHP is in latest Ubuntu LTS, and previous version if latest was released less than 6 months ago
- Works with
strict_typesand E_ALL
Features
Framework should support the following features:
- Front controller with routing
- Templates (Twig)
- Ship with sensible
.gitignore - Installable with
composer create-project - Database migrations
- Route model binding
Simplicity
To keep the framework as small and simple as possible, it will follow these principles:
- Fixed filesystem layout - no moving controllers to a different directory etc.
Filesystem layout
The following directories and files need to exist:
public/index.php: Front controllercomposer.json: Project metadata and dependencies
