README

Watamelo is a small and rather lightweight PHP Framework under the GNU LGPL licence.

It is currently a work in progress. This means that it might be unstable, and every way of doing things is subject to change in future versions.

Requirements

Watamelo requires:

PHP 8.2 or above
Apache URL rewriting module (although it might be easy to work with other web server's rewriting approach)

Install the framework via Composer

You can use either start from the skeleton repo (see instructions there) or start from scratch

Start from scratch

First, set your composer.json:

{
    ...
    "require": {
        "yosko/watamelo": "dev-master"
    }
}

Or you can use any tagged version such as "^1.3" instead of "dev-master".

Then install the framework:

composer install

Quick Start

The easiest way to start is using the watamelo-skeleton repository.

Otherwise, you can create a minimalist application in 3 steps:

Define your App (here an example in src/App.php):

class App extends \Watamelo\Framework\AbstractApplication {
 public function init($router) {
     $router->get('/', \App\Controller\MainController::class, 'hello');
 }
 public function execute($router) { $router->dispatch(); }
}

Create your action (typically in a Handler class such as a "Controller"; here an example in src/Controller/MainController.php):
```
class MainController {
 public function hello() { echo "Hello Watamelo!"; }
}
```
Launch it (here an example in public/index.php):
```
(new \App\App())->run();
```
