DBM Platform - a ready-to-use application platform built on DBM Framework
=========================================================================

[](#dbm-platform---a-ready-to-use-application-platform-built-on-dbm-framework)

DBM Platform is a ready-to-use web application platform built on top of DBM Framework, designed for rapid development of CMS systems, admin panels, and modular web applications.

It allows you to quickly start a project without building an administration panel, user system, or basic infrastructure from scratch.

Who is it for?
--------------

[](#who-is-it-for)

The platform is a good fit if:

- you want to launch a project quickly
- you need an administration panel
- you are building a CMS, portal, or web application
- you want to develop the system in a modular way

Why DBM Platform?
-----------------

[](#why-dbm-platform)

The platform allows you to start a project faster than building an application from scratch, while maintaining full control over the architecture and source code.

Unlike traditional heavyweight CMS platforms:

- it doesn't impose a closed structure
- it can operate without extensive infrastructure
- it supports modular development
- it uses the lightweight DBM Framework runtime

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

[](#installation)

DBM Platform can function as both a ready-made CMS system and as a foundation for your own PHP applications.

**Two installation methods are available:**

- Manual installation - for hosting and quick startup
- Developer installation - for working with Git and Composer

**DBM Platform can run:**

- as a standalone runtime
- or with full Composer support

### Manual Installation

[](#manual-installation)

The easiest way to launch DBM Platform.

Recommended for:

- shared hosting
- simple deployments
- CMS Lite
- users without a development environment

#### Installation Steps

[](#installation-steps)

1. Download the project archive from GitHub
2. Unzip the files to your server
3. Copy `.env.example` as `.env`
4. Set up the basic configuration:

```
APP_URL="https://your-domain.pl/"
APP_NAME="DBM Platform"
APP_EMAIL="admin@domain.com"
```

5. Point your domain to the `public/` directory
6. If your server requires it, grant write access to the following directories: `data/`, `storage/`, and `var/`.
7. Open the application in a browser and complete the environment configuration.

---

### Developer Installation

[](#developer-installation)

This installation is intended for developers working with Git and Composer.

#### Downloading the project

[](#downloading-the-project)

```
git clone https://github.com/designbymalina/dbmplatform
cd dbmplatform
```

#### Environment configuration

[](#environment-configuration)

```
cp .env.example .env
```

#### Local launch

[](#local-launch)

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

The application will be available at: `http://localhost:8000`

#### Composer (optional)

[](#composer-optional)

By default, the platform can operate independently without Composer.

Composer is recommended for larger projects and additional packages.

Optional (not required at startup):

```
composer install
```

Composer installation will generate the Composer autoloader and install all required dependencies.

After switching to Composer, some libraries can be managed directly by Composer instead of the `libraries/` directory.

### Environment Configuration

[](#environment-configuration-1)

#### Document Root

[](#document-root)

In a production environment, the domain should point to the `/public` directory.

#### Apache / localhost

[](#apache--localhost)

In a local environment, you may need to configure `.htaccess` and the `RewriteBase` directive.

If you are using a local environment (localhost), copy the `.htaccess` file from the `_Documents/_Server/` directory to the project's root folder. Then, in both files—in the root directory and `public/.htaccess`—adjust the **RewriteBase** directive to match the application's launch path.

On the remote server, ensure that **open\_basedir** does not block access to the application's directories.

#### Cache

[](#cache)

After configuration, it is recommended to set:

```
CACHE_ENABLED=true
```

**Important** During module installation, the cache should be disabled: `CACHE_ENABLED=false`.

#### Write permissions

[](#write-permissions)

DBM Platform requires write permissions for the following directories: `var/`, `storage/`, and `data/`.

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)

DBM Platform operates as an application layer above DBM Framework.

The framework is responsible for: runtime, routing, middleware, DI, and infrastructure.

The platform provides ready-made application modules and an administration panel.

Structure
---------

[](#structure)

- `bin/` - executable files: console interface (CLI) and worker (entry point: bin/dbm)
- `bootstrap/` - framework core (Routing, DI, API)
- `libraries/` - external libraries (PSR, PHPMailer, Guzzle)
- `modules/` - platform modules (installer, content management system, auth, admin)
- `public/` - public files (domain root)
- `src/` - application logic: controllers, services, models
- `storage/` - stores files generated by the application (cache)
- `templates/` - view templates
- `tests/` - unit tests
- `translations/` - translation files (optional)
- `var/` - cache and logs (created automatically, write permissions required)
- `vendor/` - libraries installed by Composer (generated automatically)
- `.env.example` - sample environment configuration

Extended Project Structure
--------------------------

[](#extended-project-structure)

- `_Documents/` - documentation, module installation archive
- `data/` - data and files (write permissions required)
- `config/` - configuration files (optional, e.g., php.ini)
- `frontend/` - frontend (optional React.js or Vue.js, Node.js, Webpack)

Hybrid Autoloading
------------------

[](#hybrid-autoloading)

DBM Platform includes its own hybrid autoloading system.

The system can run:

- completely independent of Composer
- with internal PSR-4 autoloading
- or with full Composer support

This allows applications to run on both simple shared hosting and a full development environment.

This allows DBM Platform to function as:

- a lightweight CMS with no additional dependencies
- a classic Composer application
- or a hybrid project combining both approaches

Routing
-------

[](#routing)

Standard web routing is defined in the file: `bootstrap/web.php`.

Example:

```
$router->get('/path', [NameController::class, 'methodName'], 'route_name');
```

REST API routes are defined in: `bootstrap/api.php`.

Example:

```
$router->get('/api/path', [NameApiController::class, 'methodName'], 'api_route_name');
```

Template Engine
---------------

[](#template-engine)

DBM Framework uses the lightweight **DbM View Engine** by default.

Features:

- No additional DSL
- Syntax based directly on PHP
- High performance
- Can be extended via callbacks and helpers

Templates are located in the `templates/` directory.

The engine can be replaced with another implementation (e.g., Twig).

Command Console
---------------

[](#command-console)

A lightweight and fast CLI for CRON and DEV tasks. It provides a simple way to run background or maintenance tasks directly from the command line with a lightweight and self-contained implementation. Console commands are executed via the `bin/dbm` file.

Available commands:

```
php bin/dbm list
php bin/dbm command example (for ExampleCommand)
php bin/dbm worker example (for ExampleWorker)
```

Stack
-----

[](#stack)

- PHP 8.1+
- DBM Framework v6
- PSR-4 / PSR-11 / PSR-12
- Modular architecture
- Middleware pipeline
- Hybrid autoloading
- File-based architecture
- File-based CMS + optional database
