README

MicroApp Dev is a CLI companion package for MicroApp — a minimal PHP microframework for building super-microservices and tiny APIs.

This package provides CLI tools to quickly scaffold and initialize MicroApp projects, without bloated dependencies or boilerplate.

✨ Features

• ✅ One-command project setup with init
• ✅ Autoload + .htaccess scaffolding
• ✅ index.php bootstrapping
• ✅ PSR-4 controller generator with optional route override
• ✅ Route listing tool with controller name display

🚀 Installation

composer require --dev samaphp/microapp-dev

⚙️ What init Does

Running the init command will:

• ✅ Inject App\\ => src/ into composer.json if missing
• ✅ Copy .htaccess to your root directory .htaccess if not already present
• ✅ Run composer dump-autoload to finalize setup

🛣️ Roadmap

Planned CLI tools and enhancements:

• 🔸 Hookable Error Renderer to allow custom error output (e.g., HTML or plain text)
• 🔸 Scaffold lightweight authentication that provides a simple mechanism to run before route dispatch and validate headers (e.g., tokens or basic auth credentials). Ideal for securing microservices or internal tools without requiring a full authentication system.
• 🔸 Unified CLI Interface to simplify all commands under a single entry point (e.g., vendor/bin/microapp make:controller HomeController)
• 🔸 Built-in Dev Server (vendor/bin/microapp serve) using PHP’s internal server with colored output

🚧 Disclaimer

This package is intended for development use only and should be installed with --dev.
It provides scaffolding and CLI tooling to speed up project setup, but is not required for production environments.
