Table of contents ----------------- [](#table-of-contents) - [Installation](#installation) - [Basics](#basics) - [Overview](#overview) - [Trivia](#trivia) Installation ------------ [](#installation) - Requires - Apache2 with mod\_rewrite enabled - PHP 7.1 or higher - [PHP Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) - Install via Composer: - Run `composer create-project alddesign/ez-mvc=dev-master` in the directory where you want ez-mvc to be installed. (Or download from github and extract manually). - Run `composer update` in the newly created directory. - This is your **ez-mvc root** directory from now on. - Change RewriteBase in the `.htaccess` with your `/path-to-ez-mvc/`. This is the path to your ez-mvc root directory (relative to your webserver root directory). - Change the `EZ_BASE_URL` in `/config/config.php` to the url that points to your ez-mvc root directory. For example: `http://your-host/path-to-ez-mvc` - Open in your webbrowser Now you should see the ez-mvc sample application. A little application which should demonstrate how to use ez-mvc. **PLEASE: Do not delete the sample application right away. It has plenty of documentation und examples. This document is just a guidline.** Basics ------ [](#basics) Ez-mvc is a simple PHP Model View Controller framework. It provides the absolute basic functionalities to build MVC webapps. Its much more simple than [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) or even [CodeIgniter](https://codeigniter.com/). But if follows the same approach. - Ez-mvc comes without any third party software, only requires composer for quick installation - Ez-mvc has no frontend capabilities built-in (CSS/JS). - When talking about the ez-mvc root directory: its the directory with the `index.php` file. All paths are realtive to it. - Create your app (models, views, controllers, config) only in the `/app` folder. - Assets like JS, CSS, images, can be placed in the `/assets` folder - The only system file you need to edit is `/config/config.php`. This file is the base configuration for ez-mvc - Of course you can customize or extend ez-mvc´s core if you really want to. Its located in the `/system` folder Overview -------- [](#overview) Ez-mvc provides the following features: **Model** - The model handles the DB connection - ez access to DB via PDO - Database abstraction layer for your project - Supports various DB types - *See: `/app/models/DefaultModel.php`* - *Sample DB: `/app/sample-database.sqlite`* **View** - A view displays data provided by a controller as HTML - Supports nested views (child views). So that its ez to crate pages in a modular fashion - Data can be passed through multiple levels of nested views, which is very powerfull and a little bit unique - *See: `/app/views/*.php`* **Controller** - A controller fetches data from the model/config and prepares it for the views - A controller has "actions" which provide backend functionality, display a view, or even both. - *See: `/app/controllers/*.php`* **Config** - The App config allow you to build a solid set of settings, preferences, and so on which is accessible throughout the entire app (model, view, controller) - *See: `/app/config/app.config.php`* **Routing** - Ez-mvc has build-in routing, and the best thing: you dont need to care about it (i know sometimes you want to, but this is ez-mvc) - Routing happens based on the URL. - The format is always the same: ... - Example: . Controller is "Product" (/app/controllers/Product.php). Action is "list" (Method list() in /app/controllers/Product.php). **Request** The `Request` class offers: - GET/POST data fetching **Helpers** The `Helper` class offers functionality which makes your life ez-er. - Session handling - Generating URLs - Redirects - Useful mothods for PHP programming in general. Checkout `Helper::xout($someVar);` - *See: Example usage in almost all files of the sample app* - *See: `/system/Helper.php`* Trivia ------ [](#trivia) - Checkout ez-mvc on Github: [alddesign/ez-mvc](https://github.com/alddesign/ez-mvc) - Some desing patterns used in the framework are considert bad practice (The Helper class, static (abstract) classes, lazy stuff...). And yes, i dont care. ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 47% of packages Maintenance30 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
