cryodrift - framework
---------------------

[](#cryodrift---framework)

**Small PHP framework for CLI, SSR, SQLite, and zero-logic templates**

cryodrift/fw is a lean PHP framework designed for developers who want full control, minimal abstractions, and a command-line driven workflow. It combines server-side rendering, strict separation of concerns, and powerful SQLite tooling in a small, explicit codebase.

Philosophy
----------

[](#philosophy)

- Predictable, visible control flow
- Identical behavior in CLI and Web
- No logic in templates
- SQLite as a first-class database (with migrations)
- Clear boundaries between layers
- Small, readable codebases

Design Principles
-----------------

[](#design-principles)

- Dependency Injection for everything
- Server-Side Rendering by default
- Minimal JavaScript, no frontend lock-in
- Per-user filesystem and database isolation
- Predictable bootstrap and error handling
- No globals or magic state
- Predictable, visible control flow

CryoDrift is meant to be read, understood, and modified without surprises.

Mainclasses
-----------

[](#mainclasses)

- Config, Main, Core, Handler
- basically we run a Handlerchain that is defined in config

Quickstart - WARNING remember THIS!
-----------------------------------

[](#quickstart---warning-remember-this)

### first time setup (dir can be multiple)

[](#first-time-setup-dir-can-be-multiple)

- run this once (we dont need to migrate databases,download files everytime)

```
   php vendor/bin/cryodrift.php -echo -sessionuser="you@localhost.lan" /sys install
   php vendor/bin/cryodrift.php /user/cli keygen
```

#### ENV

[](#env)

- put keys in the .env file
- run this everytime you change a config.php (regenerates the cached config files for cli and web)

```
   php vendor/bin/cryodrift.php -echo -sessionuser="you@localhost.lan" /sys install -dir=src -dir=vendor/cryodrift
```

### Install packages (runs Cli::install in each App)

[](#install-packages-runs-cliinstall-in-each-app)

- run this everytime you change the schema ()

```
   php vendor/bin/cryodrift.php -echo -sessionuser="you@localhost.lan" /sys modules -dir=src/yourapp
```

index.php (create your own, when not started as project)
--------------------------------------------------------

[](#indexphp-create-your-own-when-not-started-as-project)
