Fraym
=====

[](#fraym)

Fraym is a boxed PHP framework for building ERP-style web applications with a minimum of boilerplate. It ships both a PHP backend (the `fraym/fraym` package) and a self-contained JS/CSS frontend runtime — no build step, no Node, no SPA framework required.

Philosophy
----------

[](#philosophy)

Fraym deliberately avoids heavy abstractions. There is **no ORM**, **no template engine**, **no DI container framework**, and **no JS bundler**. Instead it gives you a small, explicit core you can read end to end:

- Data access is a thin, fully parameterized query layer over PDO.
- HTML is produced by plain PHP string building plus an output-escaping helper.
- The frontend is a ~5k-line vanilla-JS runtime (`_()` wrapper, SPA navigation, lazy module loading) served as static assets.
- A 40-line service locator (`Container`) plus proxy constants (`DB`, `CACHE`, `CURRENT_USER`) make the core testable and worker-friendly without a framework.

If you want convention-driven CRUD modules, first-class MySQL/PostgreSQL support, and a frontend that works without a toolchain, Fraym fits. If you want a Symfony/Laravel-style ecosystem with an ORM and Twig, it does not.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- **PHP 8.4**
- **PostgreSQL 13+** or **MySQL 5.7+**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require alxgarshin/fraym
./vendor/bin/console install
```

Configure the database connection in `.env.dev`, then run the initial migration:

```
./vendor/bin/console database:migrate --env=dev
```

Your project is ready to go.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

- [Getting started](docs/getting-started.md) — a CRUD module in five minutes.
- [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) — CMSVC, bootstrap, container, entities, elements.
- [Security](docs/security.md) — auth model, CSRF, SQL safety, output escaping.
- [Frontend contract](docs/frontend-contract.md) — the PHP ↔ JS runtime boundary.
