To check out the application build which is deployed with this command (or contribute) check out: Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The web application is configured by an array of YAML files at `config/` directory. They contain a list of instructions on every setting. `local.yaml` contains configuration related to the current server environment while `global.config` sets up overall application settings. Settings may be accessed at any time using `Config` class: ``` if (Config::get('DEBUG')) // From local.yaml -> local.yaml and global.yaml don't need a preffix return Config::get('Bots.VERIFY_TOKEN') // From bots.yaml ``` Features -------- [](#features) ### YAML routing [](#yaml-routing) Requests are routed automatically, for example a GET request to `http://website.com/chairs` will invoke the `get` method of `ChairsController` Routing example: ``` welcome: DefaultController # directs DOMAIN/welcome -> DefaultController::get($http_params) hello: DefaultController.main # directs DOMAIN/hello -> DefaultController::main($http_params) products: # 1-level hierarchies are also supported parse: DefaultController count: DefaultController.main ``` ### Easy-to-use controllers and built-in validation [](#easy-to-use-controllers-and-built-in-validation) A controller function implementing a POST request: ``` public function post (...$args): ?Viewable { $v = new Required($this -> params()); // Create validator $v -> email('email'); // Validate "email" field Client::registerWithImages($this -> params(), $this -> files()); // Create new model in the database return new RedirectView('/'); // Redirect to main page } ``` ### Auto-completing models [](#auto-completing-models) Viper deals with databases automatically, miminizing the need to edit SQL manually. A YAML setup like this: ``` allowOverwrite: true fields: fname: VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL lname: VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL email: VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL age: INT NOT NULL img: TEXT NOT NULL ``` will create the needed database structure if needed and update it along with the file if needed. ### Filters [](#filters) Will be applied to all routes before any controller actions: ``` class Application extends \Viper\Core\Application { /** * Defines the list of filters to be run * before any controller actions * @return FilterCollection */ protected function declareFilters (): FilterCollection { return new FilterCollection([ LocalizationFilter::class, Authorization::class ]); } } ``` ### Logging and utilities [](#logging-and-utilities) Viper supports built-in logging and a collection of useful utilities, including caching, advanced string handling etc. ### Caching capabilities [](#caching-capabilities) All views and parsed .yaml files are recovered, if possible, from cache Features in early development ----------------------------- [](#features-in-early-development) - Background processes and services - Windows background tasks - Viper templating engine - Console commands - Full Mysql support - Full SQL Server support - Other SQL dialects support - Numerous feature and structure improvements Contributing and development ---------------------------- [](#contributing-and-development) Since the framework is on an early stage of development, it may feature structural irreversable changes without reverse compatibility. Please contribute to the project if you also feel passionate about making PHP development more elegant and intuitive =) ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance28 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity16 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 64.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers.
