This is core for Cherry-Project that contains Cherry [Request](https://github.com/ABGEO07/cherry-request), [Response](https://github.com/ABGEO07/cherry-response), [Router](https://github.com/ABGEO07/cherry-router), and [Templater](https://github.com/ABGEO07/cherry-templater).

In root of your application you must define main file and call application Core Kernel and Router classes:

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Cherry\Routing\Router;

$kernel = new Cherry\Kernel(__DIR__);

$router = new Router();
```

`Kernel` class takes only one argument - your application root path.

With main file you mast have directories `config`, `controllers`, `templates`:

```
root
└─ config/
└─ controllers/
└─ templates/

```

### Config

[](#config)

`config` directory is a 'home' for application config and router files:

```
config/
└─ config.json
└─ routes.json

```

`config.json` contains application environmental parameters:

```
{
  "ROUTES_FILE":      "path-to-routes.json",
  "CONTROLLERS_PATH": "path-to-controllers-directory",
  "TEMPLATES_PATH":   "path-to-templates-directory",
  "LOGS_PATH":        "path-to-logs-directory"
}
```

### Controller

[](#controller)

Controller is a simple PHP class that contains public methods mapped on route:

```
"action": "DefaultController::index"

```

Every method returns Cherry\\HttpUtils\\Response object.

```
$this->render('index');
```
