A pattern to organize your controllers with functions for you web app.

Summary

I created this package to organize my controllers by files. It also helps not loading all the resources needed for all my routes at each requests.

Folded is a constellation of packages to help you setting up a web app easily, using ready to plug in packages.

folded/config: Configuration utilities for your PHP web app.
folded/crypt: Encrypt and decrypt strings for your web app.
folded/exception: Various kind of exception to throw for your web app.
folded/history: Manipulate the browser history for your web app.
folded/http: HTTP utilities for your web app.
folded/orm: An ORM for you web app.
folded/session: Session functions for your web app.
folded/request: Request utilities, including a request validator, for your PHP web app.
folded/routing: Routing functions for your PHP web app.
folded/view: View utilities for your PHP web app.

In your root folder, run this command:

composer require folded/action

As soon as possible, include this code:

use function Folded\setActionFolderPath;

setActionFolderPath(__DIR__  . "/actions");

In this example, we will "call" (understand, including the content of the file) a file by its path.

use function Folded\callAction;

callAction("home/index");

Which assumes your "action" file is located at actions/home/index.php.

In this example, we will call an action by dot syntax. This is equivalent to swapping / for ..

use function Folded\callAction;

callAction("home.index");

Which assumes your "action" file is located at actions/home/index.php.

In this example, we will pass parameters to callAction to use them in the called action.

use function Folded\callAction;

callAction("home.index", [
  "name" => "John",
]);

In your view located at actions/home/index.php you can use the $name parameter:

echo "Welcome, $name";
