General info

ArchFW is micro-framework and boilerplate at once. It connects best parts of both: half-closed code, enforced architecture and unbelievable perfomance.

Technologies

Project in order to run requires at least PHP version 7.2.6 with PDO library. Using framework requires moderate experience into PHP language. By programmers, for programmers. As simple as it's possible. You will install this project with Composer easily. If you want to use SCSS and it's 7-1 Pattern you will also need Node Packet Manager (NPM).

Setup

Run required commands in your system shell:

$ composer install
$ npm install

It may happen that some packages from this project will be outdated, then run:

$ npm audit fix

Remember that server root must be set on /public_html folder. A version that does not requite changing server root will be released someday, but for safety this method is simply the best. Keep in mind that keeping your private data and code outside server root is considered to be a best practice.

If all has been successfully set, you will see proper screen entering http://localhost/ or any domain/IP adress.

Code Examples

In near future here will be huge section about configuring and using this framework.

Features

Framework is going to be perfect, now it does:

Routing management
HTML and JSON renderers
Own logger with logging to file
Extensible exceptions with error logging
Modern OOP view engine
Fast OOP MC classes
Easiest extentible config ever (PHP array file)
Medoo database - lightest SQL query builder included

Still in development and further plans:

Autoloading config files
Installation wizard
... here might be your request, don't be aware to PR or Issue this!

Have any ideas what this FW should contain? PM me over kontakt@archi-tektur.pl

Status

Framework has stable release 2.8.0 in master branch, in dev branch you can find also the newest version - but watch out, it probably WILL NOT be stable.

New functionalities, bux fixes and code reusages are developed quite often, at least once a two months something is changing. Backward compatibility can't be provided on this stage of development, but it will be guaranteed soon.

Inspiration

Well, hard to say - a willing for making something on my own, a hate that exists on many forums on the whole language (PHP never been the liked one). Every time I look how much unneeded code is used in Symfony (mostly in small projects!), one atom of my heart dies. It's obvious that Symfony is a giant, great tool with awesome tools and prepared workflow, but most of my projects at this time needed only a simple router, basic renderer and wrapper mechanism - so that's why I created this. If you think is it accurate for bigger projects? - the answer is - yes! A whole Digitale Schiene Deutschland project were written on this - a huge programme for German Federal Railways. And it's code is pretty easy to maintain - that's the fault of overthinked architecture, which might seem weird - but you will love it! So, now go and test my framework!
