Vertex
======

[](#vertex)

A simple PHP framework inspired by Laravel

[![GitHub Actions](https://github.com/Daniel-Griffiths/vertex/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Daniel-Griffiths/vertex/actions)[![Scrutinizer Code Quality](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6135425e65adb030d54773564b86a204349760783e6443c0ff2e8486b831b92d/68747470733a2f2f7363727574696e697a65722d63692e636f6d2f672f44616e69656c2d4772696666697468732f7665727465782f6261646765732f7175616c6974792d73636f72652e706e673f623d6d6173746572)](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/Daniel-Griffiths/vertex/?branch=master)

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

[](#requirements)

Vertex makes use of [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to autoload its dependencies. Be sure to run the following command after downloading the framework.

```
composer install

```

Then you can run the following command to start the built-in PHP server.

```
php -S localhost:8000 -t public

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

All configuration options are specified in the `.env` file in the root directory. By default you will get an example file to get you started.

```
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=databasename
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

```

There is also the option of manually declaring your setting in the `/config` directory. Simply go into any of the files in this directory and manually replace the `getenv()` functions with your desired configuration.

You can easily access any of your config options in Vertex by using the `Config::get()` method. Supply a string to the method (eg `Config::get('database')`) and it will return an array of all the values specified in that file, in this case it would be `/config/database.php`.

Routes
------

[](#routes)

Vertex uses FastRoute for all its routing needs. Routes are stored in the `app/routes.php` file. Please visit the following repo for full documentation .

Here are some example routes:

```
/* standard routes */
$route->get('/test', 'ControllerName@MethodName');
$route->post('/test', 'ControllerName@MethodName');
$route->put('/test', 'ControllerName@MethodName');
$route->delete('/test', 'ControllerName@MethodName');

/* route with parameters */
$route->get('/test/{parameter}', 'ControllerName@MethodName');

/* route with closure */
$route->get('/test', function(){
  return 'Test!';
});

/* route group */
$route->addGroup('/admin', function ($route) {
    $route->get('/dashboard', 'AdminController@dashboard'); // admin/dashboard
    $route->get('/pages', 'AdminController@pages');         // admin/pages
    $route->get('/posts', 'AdminController@posts');         // admin/posts
});

```

Templating
----------

[](#templating)

Vertex uses Laravels fantastic Blade templating engine. Views are stored in the `app/resources/views/` directory and **must** have the file extension of `.blade.php`. Please visit  for full documentation.

Here is an example blade template:

```

        App Name - @yield('title')

        @section('sidebar')
            This is the master sidebar.
        @show

            @yield('content')

```
