Lightweight PHP 8.4+ MVC framework for building simple web applications. Routing, controllers, middleware, views, and a small set of opt-in modules (migrations, authentication, background tasks) — with only PSR standard interfaces as runtime dependencies.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.4 or later
- Composer 2.x

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Install

[](#install)

```
composer require aseguragonzalez/php-mvc
```

### Create an app

[](#create-an-app)

```
vendor/bin/mvc create-app ./src/MyApp --name=MyApp --namespace=App\\MyApp
```

This generates the folder structure, a bootstrap file, and an `mvc.config.json` configuration file.

### Enable optional modules

[](#enable-optional-modules)

Each module is opt-in and can be activated through the CLI:

```
vendor/bin/mvc migrations:enable   # SQL migrations via timestamped scripts
vendor/bin/mvc auth:enable         # Authentication and authorization
vendor/bin/mvc bg-tasks:enable     # Background task processing
```

Once enabled, each module exposes additional CLI commands (e.g. `migrations:create`, `migrations:run`). See the [CLI reference](https://aseguragonzalez.github.io/php-mvc/cli/reference/) for the full list.

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

[](#documentation)

Full documentation is available at [aseguragonzalez.github.io/php-mvc](https://aseguragonzalez.github.io/php-mvc/).

Development
-----------

[](#development)

### Dev container

[](#dev-container)

All tooling (PHP, Composer, PHPStan, PHP-CS-Fixer, MkDocs) runs inside the dev container. Start it once from the project root:

```
devcontainer up --workspace-folder .
```

Then run any make target with:

```
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . make
```

**Debugging:** The Xdebug port is **9003**. Configure your IDE or Xdebug client to connect to that port.

### Make targets

[](#make-targets)

All targets must be run inside the dev container — the required tools are not available on the host.

CommandDescription`make install`Install Composer dependencies`make test`Run the test suite`make cs`Check code style (dry-run)`make cs-fix`Auto-fix code style`make stan`Run static analysis (PHPStan max)`make check`Run `cs + stan + test``make all`Run `install + cs-fix + check``make docs-serve`Serve the documentation site on port 8001### Documentation site

[](#documentation-site)

The documentation site uses [MkDocs Material](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/). Dependencies are installed automatically when the dev container is created.

```
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . make docs-serve
```

Then open **** in your browser. The dev container forwards port 8001 automatically; if you use VS Code with the Dev Containers extension the browser opens on its own.
