A lightweight PHP library for quickly building web application.

BellaPHP is a very simple toolkit that can help you handle something like modular, routing, database, curl, file/directory, device detection, and other stuff.

Very easy to install bella.php with composer.phar

  "require": {
      "techpush/bella.php": "dev-master"
  }

Website directory structure may look like this (but you can define by any way you want):

  app/
      controllers/
          article.php
      models/
          article.php
      views/
          article.php
  conf/
      development/
      production/
  public/
      css/
      fonts/
      images/
      js/
  storage/
      cache/
      log/
  vendor/
      /techpush/
          bella.php/
              src/

In the /app/controllers/article.php, you define a controller as below:

  <?php
  
  namespace Bella;
  
  class articleController extends Coordinator {
  	
  	public function parse(){
  		$this->route('/:alias/:id', function($alias, $id){
  			if(!!$id){
  				  $h = $this->loadHandler();
  				  return $h->run($alias, $id);
  			}
  		});
  		return Bella::end();
  	}
  	
  }

In the /app/models/article.php, you define the related model as below:

    <?php
    
    namespace Bella;
    
    class articleModel extends Handler {
    	
    	public function run($alias, $id){
    		$conf = Config::get('api');
    		$api = new API($conf->baseURL);
    		
    		$data = $api->get('api/read', ['id'=>$id]);
    		
    		if(!!$data){
    			
    			$view = $this->view;
    			
    			// set layout to render as HTML
    			// it will look at /app/views/layouts/article.html
    			$view->setLayout('article');
    			
    			// register the CSS files
    			$view->registerCSS(['base.css', 'default.css', 'article.css', 'fontello.css']);
    			
    			// register the javascript libraries
    			$view->registerLibs(['highlight.pack', 'socialite.min']);
    			
    			// set metadata to the page
    			$view->setHeader([
    				'title' => $data->title,
    				'url' => $data->link,
    				'canonical' => $data->canonical,
    				'creator' => $data->author,
    				'description' => $data->description,
    				'image' => $data->image
    			]);
    			return $view->render(['article' => $data]);
    		}
    		
    		return Bella::end();
    	}
    	
    }

BellaPHP uses Handlebars as template engine, /app/views/layouts/article.html looks like this:

  <div class="article-title" itemprop="name">{{{article.title}}}</div>
  <div class="article-summary">
      <span class="article-pubTime" itemprop="datePublished">
          {{article.datetime}}
      </span>,
      <span itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
          <span itemprop="name">{{{article.author}}}</span>
      </span>
  <div class="article-content" itemprop="articleBody">{{{article.content}}}</div>
