About MVCLite
=============

[](#about-mvclite)

*MVCLite* is a lightweight **MVC** (Model-View-Controller) framework for building web applications in **PHP**. It provides a robust foundation for structuring your application's codebase, including features such as **middlewares**, **routing system**, **ORM** (Object-Relational Mapping), **Twig** templating engine integration, and more.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Routing System:** Define clean and intuitive URL routes to handle various HTTP requests.
- **Middlewares:** Easily integrate pre-processing and post-processing logic into your application's request-response cycle.
- **ORM (Object-Relational Mapping):** Simplify database interactions by mapping database tables to PHP objects.
- **Twig Integration:** Use the Twig templating engine for separating logic from presentation in your views.
- **And More:** MVCLite includes many other features to streamline your development process.

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

[](#installation)

You can install *MVCLite* via **Composer**. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
composer create-project belicfr/mvclite
```

After installing *MVCLite*, you have to configure your application's settings in the `config` directory. The `config.php` file contains the main settings for your application.

```
const ROUTE_PATH_PREFIX = '/';

const DATABASE_CREDENTIALS = [

    "dbms"      =>  "mysql",

    "host"      =>  "localhost",
    "port"      =>  "3306",
    "charset"   =>  "utf8mb4",
    "name"      =>  "",
    "user"      =>  "",
    "password"  =>  ""

];
```

You also have to configure the **htaccess** file, you can use the `.htaccess_example` file as a base.

```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /website/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !src/resources/(.*)$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [QSA,L]
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Router

[](#router)

Define your application's **routes** in the `src/Router/routes.php` file. Here's an example of a simple route:

```
Router::get('/path', Controller::class, "method");
```

You can also define **routes** with a custom name

```
Router::get('/path', Controller::class, "method")->setName('routeName');
```

### ORM

[](#orm)

The build-in **ORM** allows you to interact with your database. Here's an example of a simple **SELECT** query:

```
Model::select('column1', 'column2')
       ->where('column', 'value')
       ->orderBy('column', 'ASC')
       ->execute();
```

The is still in development and more features will be added in the future, if you want to do **custom queries** you can use the `Database` class.

```
Database::query('INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) VALUES (?, ?)', ['value1', 'value2']);
```

### Middlewares

[](#middlewares)

**Middlewares** are used to perform pre-processing logic on your application's request-response cycle. You can define a **middleware** in the constructor of your controller.

```
public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware(AuthMiddleware::class);
}
```

### Views

[](#views)

*MVCLite* uses the **Twig** templating engine for separating logic from presentation in your views. You can create your views in the `src/Views` directory and then render them in your **controllers**.

```
View::render('View', ['data' => $data]);
```

### Twig

[](#twig)

You can use the **Twig** templating engine to create your views. Here's an example of a simple **Twig** template:

```

    {{ title }}

{% if bool %}
    {{ content1 }}
{% else %}
    {{ content2 }}
{% endif %}
{{ include('Footer.twig', {'data': data}) }}

```
