README
Lean, cross-mode infrastructure for CitOmni apps. Predictable service maps, deterministic config (last-wins), no magic. Ultra-fast PHP 8.2+, side-effect free, designed for HTTP and CLI runtimes. ♻️
Highlights
- Shared services available in both HTTP & CLI (
db
,log
,txt
,mailer
) - Deterministic boot -> vendor baseline -> providers -> app (last wins)
- No scanning ->
$this->app->{id}
resolves instantly (cacheable maps) - Prod-friendly -> config/service maps can be precompiled by the App
- Infrastructure focus -> DB (LiteMySQLi), logging, mail (PHPMailer), text/i18n
Requirements
-
PHP 8.2+
-
Extensions:
ext-json
(standard)ext-iconv
orext-mbstring
(mailer UTF-8 normalization; one of them is used)ext-gd
(required for the optional/captcha
route)- Freetype (optional) enables TTF text in captcha (falls back to bitmap fonts if missing)
-
OPcache recommended in production
Install
composer require citomni/infrastructure composer dump-autoload -o
Ensure your app is PSR-4 mapped:
{ "autoload": { "psr-4": { "App\\": "src/" } } }
Enable the provider in /config/providers.php
:
<?php return [ \CitOmni\Infrastructure\Boot\Services::class, ];
Services (exported IDs)
This package contributes a baseline service map (app can override in /config/services.php
):
id | class | purpose |
---|---|---|
db |
CitOmni\Infrastructure\Service\Db |
LiteMySQLi wrapper (lazy connect) |
log |
CitOmni\Infrastructure\Service\Log |
LiteLog (JSONL etc., with rotate) |
txt |
CitOmni\Infrastructure\Service\Txt |
Static text/i18n loader (LiteTxt) |
mailer |
CitOmni\Infrastructure\Service\Mailer |
PHPMailer wrapper (+ logging) |
Constructor contract (all services)
__construct(\CitOmni\Kernel\App $app, array $options = [])
Usage:
// DB $id = $this->app->db->insert('crm_msg', ['msg_subject' => 'Hi']); $row = $this->app->db->fetchRow('SELECT * FROM crm_msg WHERE id=?', [$id]); // Logging $this->app->log->write('orders.jsonl', 'order.create', ['id'=>$id,'total'=>$total]); // Text (i18n) $this->app->txt->get('err_invalid_email', 'contact', 'citomni/infrastructure', 'Invalid.'); // Mail $this->app->mailer ->to('user@example.com') ->subject('Welcome, {name}') ->templateVars(['name' => 'Sarah']) ->body('<p>Hello {name}</p>', true) ->send();
Configuration (last wins)
At runtime the App builds config as:
- Vendor infrastructure baseline
\CitOmni\Infrastructure\Boot\Services::CFG_HTTP
(andCFG_CLI
) - Provider CFGs (if any) listed in
/config/providers.php
- App base cfg:
/config/citomni_http_cfg.php
or/config/citomni_cli_cfg.php
- App env overlay:
/config/citomni_{http|cli}_cfg.{env}.php
(optional)
Merge rules: Associative arrays are deep-merged (last wins). Numeric lists are replaced by the last source.
Important keys used by this package

The HTTP router reads routes as raw arrays (
$this->app->cfg->routes[...]
).
DB service (db
)
Thin wrapper around LiteMySQLi with lazy connection and ergonomic __call()
pass-through:
$id = $this->app->db->insert('crm_msg', ['msg_subject' => 'Hi']); $row = $this->app->db->fetchRow('SELECT * FROM crm_msg WHERE id=?', [$id]);
For models, you can extend CitOmni\Infrastructure\Model\BaseModelLiteMySQLi
and access $this->db
.
Logging (log
)
Backed by LiteLog:
$this->app->log->write('order.jsonl', 'order.create', ['id'=>$id,'total'=>$total]);
Rotation controlled by log.max_bytes
and log.max_files
. Directory defaults to var/logs
.
Text / i18n (txt
)
Static text loader via LiteTxt, with layered paths:
$this->app->txt->get($key, $file, $layer='app', $default='', $vars=[]);
layer='app'
->CITOMNI_APP_PATH/language/{lang}/{file}.php
layer='vendor/package'
->CITOMNI_APP_PATH/vendor/{layer}/language/{lang}/{file}.php
- Language comes from
cfg['locale']['language']
('da'
,'da_DK'
, etc.) - Placeholders:
%UPPER_CASE%
-> replaced from$vars
(e.g.%APP_NAME%
)
Errors go to txt.log.file
(default litetxt_errors.jsonl
).
Mailer (mailer
)
PHPMailer wrapper with sensible defaults:
$this->app->mailer ->from('system@example.com', 'CitOmni') ->to(['john@example.com','jane@example.com']) ->subject('Welcome, {name}') ->templateVars(['name' => 'Sarah']) ->body('<p>Hello {name}</p>', true) ->send();
-
Transport:
smtp
,mail
,sendmail
,qmail
(from cfg) -
Default From/Reply-To read from cfg
-
Templating:
{var}
placeholders (mailer-only) viatemplateVars()
-
Auto-generates
AltBody
from HTML if you don't set it -
Logging:
- Success (dev-friendly):
mail_log.json
whenmail.logging.log_success=true
- Errors:
mailer_errors.json
with optional SMTP transcript (debug_transcript
)
- Success (dev-friendly):
Contact form (optional)
If you keep the provided routes:
GET|POST /kontakt.html
-> validates, stores in DB (crm_msg
), emails app recipientGET /captcha
-> returns a PNG captcha usingext-gd
Fonts (optional) read fromvendor/citomni/infrastructure/assets/fonts/*.ttf
Security interplay: honors security.csrf_protection
, captcha_protection
, and honeypot_protection
.
Recipient: cfg['identity']['email']
(fallback: cfg['mail']['from']['email']
).
If you plan to use the contact form routes, import the schema now (see Database schema below).
Database schema
This package ships a ready-to-apply SQL schema for the contact form model:
- File:
vendor/citomni/infrastructure/sql/crm_msg.sql
Creates tablecrm_msg
(InnoDB,utf8mb4_unicode_ci
, PKid
auto-increment). Works on MySQL 8+ / MariaDB 10.4+.
Option A — Manual import (recommended)
Use your preferred tool:
MySQL CLI
mysql -u <user> -p <database> < vendor/citomni/infrastructure/sql/crm_msg.sql
phpMyAdmin / Adminer
- Open your database
- Import the file:
vendor/citomni/infrastructure/sql/crm_msg.sql
Option B — Code-based, one-off installer (idempotent)
If you prefer to install via code, run once during setup/deploy:
<?php declare(strict_types=1); require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; define('CITOMNI_ENVIRONMENT', 'cli'); define('CITOMNI_APP_PATH', __DIR__); $app = new \CitOmni\Kernel\App(__DIR__ . '/config', \CitOmni\Kernel\Mode::CLI); $sql = (string)\file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/vendor/citomni/infrastructure/sql/crm_msg.sql'); $app->db->execute($sql); echo "crm_msg installed.\n";
Keep this script out of web-root; run it once, then delete it. The
Db
service must haveCREATE
privileges, otherwise use Option A.
Notes
- The
CrmMessageModel
expects the table namecrm_msg
and the columns defined in the SQL file. - You can add indexes later to fit your reporting needs (e.g.,
msg_added_dt
,msg_from_email
).
Why no auto-migrate?
CitOmni packages are side-effect free by design. Vendor code should not create or alter your database automatically. That keeps the runtime predictable, reviewable, and safe across environments.
Why this policy exists
- Determinism & reviewability – DB changes live in your app/ops repos, not hidden in vendor code.
- Least privilege – production credentials often lack
CREATE/ALTER
; installs shouldn’t assume elevated rights. - Safer deploys – no surprise schema writes that can fail under load, lock tables, or break blue/green rollouts.
- Compliance & audit – schema changes pass through your change-management and CI/CD, with diffs and approvals.
- Multi-env parity – staging/prod may be managed by DBAs; the package must work without mutating state.
What to do instead
- Use the provided SQL once (see Database schema above), or
- Maintain app-owned migrations (idempotent SQL,
IF NOT EXISTS
, transactional where possible), executed by your deploy pipeline or a CLI command in your app. - Track schema with a simple
schema_version
table (or your existing migration tool).
This keeps the infrastructure package stateless, while your application controls when and how the database evolves.
Performance tips
-
Composer:
{ "config": { "optimize-autoloader": true, "classmap-authoritative": true, "apcu-autoloader": true } }
Then:
composer dump-autoload -o
-
OPcache (prod):
opcache.enable=1 opcache.validate_timestamps=0 opcache.revalidate_path=0 opcache.save_comments=0 realpath_cache_size=4096k realpath_cache_ttl=600
Contributing
- PHP 8.2+, PSR-4, tabs, K&R braces
- Keep vendor files side-effect free (OPcache-friendly)
- Don't swallow exceptions in core; let the global error handler log
