Small PHP framework for CLI, SSR, SQLite, and zero-logic templates

cryodrift/fw is a lean PHP framework designed for developers who want full control, minimal abstractions, and a command-line driven workflow. It combines server-side rendering, strict separation of concerns, and powerful SQLite tooling in a small, explicit codebase.

Philosophy

Predictable, visible control flow
Identical behavior in CLI and Web
No logic in templates
SQLite as a first-class database (with migrations)
Clear boundaries between layers
Small, readable codebases

Design Principles

Dependency Injection for everything
Server-Side Rendering by default
Minimal JavaScript, no frontend lock-in
Per-user filesystem and database isolation
Predictable bootstrap and error handling
No globals or magic state
Predictable, visible control flow

CryoDrift is meant to be read, understood, and modified without surprises.

Quickstart - WARNING remember THIS!

first time setup (dir can be multiple)

run this once (we dont need to migrate databases,download files everytime)

   php index.php -echo -sessionuser="you@localhost.lan" /sys install -a -dir=src

run this everytime you change a config.php (regenerates the cached config files for cli and web)

   php index.php -echo -sessionuser="you@localhost.lan" /sys install -dir=src -dir=vendor/cryodrift

Install packages (runs Cli::install in each App)

run this everytime you change the schema ()

   php index.php -echo -sessionuser="you@localhost.lan" /sys modules -dir=src/yourapp

Commandline

show routes and help
