README

Core package of the Minimalus Layoutilus PHP framework.

Provides the custom SPL autoloader (BootstrapHandler), base object model (MNHcC, Bootstrap), scalar box types (AutoBox\Scalar), array/string helpers, the constant/config bootstrap, and the event bus (EventManager + Event + EventParms).

Requirements

• PHP ≥ 5.4

Installation

composer require mnhcc/ml-core

Bootstrap

namespace mnhcc\ml { const INDEX = true; }

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

mnhcc\ml\classes\BootstrapHandler::initial(__DIR__);

BootstrapHandler::initial() registers the SPL autoloader, defines global constants (NSS, n, br, php, DS) and path constants (MNHCC_PATH, ROOT_PATH).

Autoloader

The autoloader maps namespace segments to files using non-standard extensions:

Extension	Type
.class.php	class
.interface.php	interface
.trait.php	trait

Event bus

A small static event dispatcher. Listeners register against a normalised event name (leading on stripped, ucfirst); raise() dispatches a name + EventParms payload to every registered listener in order.

use mnhcc\ml\classes\EventManager;
use mnhcc\ml\classes\Event;
use mnhcc\ml\classes\EventParms;

EventManager::register(new Event(function (EventParms $p) {
    // do something with $p->getParms() / $p->get('key')
}, 'myEvent'));

EventManager::raise('myEvent', new EventParms(['key' => 'value']));

Today's bus is fire-and-forget — listeners observe but cannot vote on the result. See docs/EVENT_SYSTEM.md for the current behaviour, the gaps, and the planned interventional/filter extensions.
