Lighter is a light, easy to use and intuitive PHP framework. It allows you to fully create an app in a simple way while leaving full control of what you are doing.

Lighter gives you a lot of features and dependencies, some are listed below.

MVC
===

[](#mvc)

Lighter mainly uses the MVC model (Model View Controller), although one can use views to work with HTML alongside PHP.

Router
======

[](#router)

The router gives you full control over : which pages are public or not, which route returns what or custom error pages like 404.php.

It does not use Symphony.

Middleware
==========

[](#middleware)

The middleware function allows you to do anything before accessing a route.
The [Middleware.php](./routes/Middleware.php) file has some examples of use, replace them by your needs.

Components
==========

[](#components)

The components feature allows one to reuse pieces of code everywhere and to pass data dynamically to them, just like functions but for HTML too.

Project
=======

[](#project)

Project is the main file of Lighter it is similar to Artisan.

Here's for exemple, how to start the server :

```
$ php project start localhost:3000
```
