README

This is a project about MVC Skeleton/Boilerplate for the Slim Framework.

support multiple applications (mini-app)
sample database for demonstration
development environment with Vagrant

Setup

You can start the Skeleton with Vagrant directly or Setup the environment manually...

Work with Vagrant (Recommend)

Install Dependencies

Install Vagrant

First thing, you need to download vagrant setup from http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html, and then run it.

Install Oracle VirtualBox

You need now to download VirtualBox, use the following link to download the latest release of VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Install the Application

  $ git clone https://github.com/zacao/slimvc.git --recurse-submodules
  $ cd slimvc
  $ vagrant up

Note:

The above vagrant up command will also trigger Vagrant to download the chef/centos-7.0 box via the specified URL. Vagrant only does this if it detects that the box doesn't already exist on your system.
The setup will take some time to finish, take a cup of coffee and enjoy!
When the setup is done browse to http://slimvc.dev/ in your browser, and you should have a default welcome page! You can also try other urls, such as http://slimvc.dev/v1/programmers, and http://slimvc.dev/v1/programmers/1
You may face some errors because of VirtualBox with Windows, no problem please just re-run the installation again after few seconds as below, (if you encounter problem under Windows 10, please see this Failed to create the host-only adapter issue for VirtualBox under Windows 10 before re-run)
```
  $ vagrant reload --provision
```

Manual Setup

Install Composer

If you have not installed Composer, install it as following, http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation

Install the Application

After you install Composer, run below command from the directory in which you want to install.

(assumed you install composer as /usr/bin/composer globally, or please replace composer with php composer.phar),

  $ composer create-project zacao/slimvc [project-name]

Replace [project-name] with the directory name of your new project, and then do as below steps:

Set your virtual host document root. There are 2 general deployment scenarios if there are multiple applications(mini-app) in your project, please read official guideline for Apache/Nginx configurations.

sub-domain: each mini-app has dedicate domain associated

+-- public/
|   +-- [mini-app-1]/ <-- Document root!
|   |   +-- index.php <-- initialize Slim here!
|   +-- [mini-app-2]/ <-- Document root!
|   |   +-- index.php <-- initialize Slim here!

sub-folder: mini-apps share same domain, each mini-app works as sub-folder of this domain

+-- public/ <-- Document root!
|   +-- [mini-app-1]/
|   |   +-- index.php <-- initialize Slim here!
|   +-- [mini-app-2]/
|   |   +-- index.php <-- initialize Slim here!

Ensure folders under apps/[mini-app-name]/var/ directory are writable for your web server user/group, such as log, cache and temp.

Folder Structure

apps/
- [mini-app-1]/ <-- application folder (see below for detail)
  - controllers/ - controller classes
  - models/ - model classes
  - views/ - template files
  - routers/ - Slim routes group by feature, should be named as name.router.php
  - middlewares/ - Slim customized middleware classes
  - etc/ - configuration file, e.g. production.php, development.php
  - var/ - writable folder, such as logs, caches, temp and so on
- [mini-app-2]/
  - ...
- ...
lib/ - your customized lib classes against with the official composer classes in PSR-4 standard
public/ - document root & the public assetic files, such as images, css and js
- [mini-app-1]/
  - index.php <-- initialize Slim here!
- [mini-app-2]/
  - index.php <-- initialize Slim here!
- ...

application folder

Here should be the main folder which stores your own codes, such as controllers, models, views, middlewares and so on.

routers

Slim routes group by feature, and names in [name].router.php format. different with the Slim official example, we using <namespace>\<class_name>:<method_name> format to define a route callable, against with uing Clouse in Slim official doc.

v1.default.router.php

// default index action, GET /
$app->get('/', 'Sample\Controller\IndexController:actionIndex')
    ->name('get-homepage');

$app->group('/v1', function () use ($app) {
    // get programmers list, GET /v1/programmers
    $app->get('/programmers', 'Sample\Controller\ProgrammerController:actionGetProgrammers')
        ->name('get-programmers-list');

    // get programmer detail, GET /v1/programmers/:id
    $app->get('/programmers/:id', 'Sample\Controller\ProgrammerController:actionGetProgrammer')
        ->conditions(array('id' => '\d+'))
        ->name('get-programmer-detail');
});

router files are loaded & sorted in alphanumeric order, so you can priority routers by proper file names, such as, v1.default.router.php, v1.xxx.router.php (Thanks Wout's comments)

call controllers with namespace is strongly recommend

controllers

Stores controller classes files which defined in router. It MUST be one class per file, and the filename should be same as the controller class name.

IndexController.php

namespace Sample\Controller;

use Slimvc\Core\Controller;

class IndexController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Default index action
     */
    public function actionIndex()
    {
        $this->getApp()->contentType('text/html');

        $data = array(
            'title' => 'It works!',
            'content' => 'Have fun with Slim framework in MVC way!'
        );

        $this->render("index/index.phtml", $data);
    }
}

configurations(etc)

Same as the Slim configuration format, please refer to the original Slim configuration doc

development.php

ini_set('display_errors', true);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', true);
ini_set('log_errors', true);
ini_set('html_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); // with E_STRICT for PHP 5.3 compatibility

return array(
    'debug' => true,

    // Templates settings
    'templates.path' => APP_DIR . '/views',

    // Logging settings
    'logs.level' => Slim\Log::DEBUG,

    // PDO database settings
    'pdo' => array(
        'default' => array(
            'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sample',
            'username' => 'root',
            'password' => '',
            'options' => array(
                \PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES 'UTF8'",
            )
        ),
    ),
);

middlewares

About the standard Slim middleware classes, Please refer to the original Slim middleware doc

models

The model classes should be here. You can implement the model classes as you like.

ProgrammerModel.php

namespace Sample\Model;

use Slimvc\Core\Model;

class ProgrammerModel extends Model
{
    /**
     * Get programmer by id
     *
     * @param int $id the programmer id
     * @param array $fields the fields to be return
     *
     * @return mixed|static
     */
    public function getProgrammer($id, $fields = array())
    {
        // TODO: we just using PDO for example here, a DAL(Database Access Layer) is strongly recommended

        if ($fields && is_array($fields)) {
            // make sure the dynamical fields are safe
            foreach ($fields as $key => $field) {
                $fields[$key] = "`" . str_replace("`", "``", $field) . "`";
            }
            unset($key, $field);
            $fieldsStr = join(',', $fields);
        } else {
            $fieldsStr = '*';
        }

        $sql = 'SELECT ' . $fieldsStr . ' FROM `programmers` WHERE id = ? LIMIT 1';
        $sth = $this->getReadConnection()->prepare($sql);
        $sth->setFetchMode(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        $sth->execute(array(intval($id)));

        return $sth->fetch();
    }
}

views

Template files in default Slim format, Please refer to the original Slim middleware doc

var

Location for writable entries, such as logs, caches and temporary files

lib

Put your customize classes files here, in this sample, we using PSR-4 as autoloading standard, please refer to composer.json and files under lib folder for detail.

composer.json

"autoload": {
     "psr-4": {
         "Slimvc\\": "lib/Slimvc",
 
         "Sample\\Controller\\": "apps/sample/controllers",
         "Sample\\Model\\": "apps/sample/models",
         "Sample\\Middlewares\\": "apps/sample/middlewares"
     }
 }

There are Slimvc\Core\Controller, Slimvc\Core\Model sample classes created under the lib folder.

Controller.php

namespace Slimvc\Core;

abstract class Controller
{
    protected $appName = "default";
    protected $config = array();

    /**
     * Gets the Slim Application instance
     *
     * @return \Slim\Slim
     */
    protected function getApp()
    {
        return \Slim\Slim::getInstance($this->appName);
    }

    /**
     * Gets the configuration instance of the related Slim Application
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function getConfig()
    {
        return $this->config;
    }

    /**
     * Constructor
     *
     * @param array $config the configurations
     */
    public function __construct($config = array())
    {
        $this->config = $this->getApp()->container['settings'];

        if ($config && is_array($config)) {
            $this->config = array_merge($config, $this->config);
        }
    }

    /**
     * Render a template
     *
     * @param  string $template The name of the template passed into the view's render() method
     * @param  array  $data     Associative array of data made available to the view
     * @param  int    $status   The HTTP response status code to use (optional)
     */
    protected function render($template, $data = array(), $status = null)
    {
        $this->getApp()->render($template, $data, $status);
    }
}
