🧊 Flake

A minimal PHP microframework inspired by Express.js — simple, fast, and easy to extend.

🚀 Installation

Before you start, make sure you have PHP ≥ 8.1 and Composer installed.

mkdir myapp
cd myapp
composer init
composer require iescarro/flake

🧩 Quick Start

Create an index.php file:

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Flake\Router;
use Flake\App;

Router::get('/', function ($req, $res) {
    $res->send('Hello, world!');
});

App::run();

Then start the local server:

php -S localhost:8000

Open your browser at 👉 http://localhost:8000

You should see “Hello, world!”

⚙️ Features

🚦 Express-style routing — Simple Router::get(), Router::post(), etc.
💡 Minimal core — Focused on speed, readability, and flexibility.
🧱 Extensible — Add your own middleware, handlers, or modules.
🧰 No configuration required — Works out of the box.

🧠 Example Routes

Router::get('/hello/:name', function ($req, $res) {
    $name = $req->params['name'] ?? 'Guest';
    $res->send("Hello, $name!");
});

Router::post('/data', function ($req, $res) {
    $res->json(['received' => $req->body]);
});
