> **The lightness PHP framework** — fast, minimal, PSR-compliant.

---

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

Horizom is a lightweight PHP micro-framework built on PSR standards. It provides a clean, expressive foundation for building web applications and REST APIs without the overhead of a full-stack framework.

**Core packages:**

PackageRole`horizom/core`Application container, configuration, lifecycle`horizom/routing`PSR-15 router powered by FastRoute`horizom/http`PSR-7 request/response helpers---

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP **8.0** or higher
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) 2.x

---

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

[](#installation)

```
composer create-project horizom/app my-project
cd my-project
cp .env.example .env
```

Start the built-in development server:

```
composer serve
# → http://localhost:8000
```

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

[](#configuration)

All sensitive values must be set in your **`.env`** file and are never committed to version control.

```
# Application
APP_NAME=Horizom
APP_ENV=development
APP_URL=http://localhost:8000
APP_DEBUG=false

# Database
DB_DRIVER=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=horizom
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
```

Access config values anywhere with the `config()` helper:

```
$name = config('app.name');         // "Horizom"
$dsn  = config('database.default'); // "development"
```

---

Routing
-------

[](#routing)

### Web routes (`routes/web.php`)

[](#web-routes-routeswebphp)

```
$router->get('/', 'MainController@index');
```

### API routes (`routes/api.php`)

[](#api-routes-routesapiphp)

```
$router->group(['prefix' => 'api'], function (RouteCollector $router) {
    $router->get('/status',  'ApiController@status');
    $router->get('/version', 'ApiController@version');
});
```

Use explicit HTTP verbs — avoid `any()` as it widens the attack surface.

---

Controllers
-----------

[](#controllers)

Controllers are **`final`** classes. They return a PSR-7 `ResponseInterface`.
