Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

mvc-lite is a lightweight MVC Framework aimed at accomplishing common MVC goals in a much lighter package. The bulk of this work is inspired by the Zend Framework ()

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This library should be used to create a simple MVC application. If you need sophisticated application handling, consider a more robust framework, like Zend Framework, Laravel, or Symfony.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

The `mvc` script can be used to help start an application quickly. It's usage is:

```
./bin/mvc setup --target=/local/path/to/app

```

Once created, adding an entire resources (i.e. Users) can be done like this:

```
./bin/mvc resource:create --target=/local/path/to/app --name=users

```
