-------------------

[](#is-avocado-for-you)

---

If you like Java environment (especially Spring boot), OOP, fast development process or fully tests application Avocado is for you.

First app
---------

[](#first-app)

---

You need to redirect all request into main file. In Apache, you can do it in `.htaccess` file like this:

```
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
```

or in NGINX

```
server {
    listen 80 default_server;

    location / {
            rewrite ^ /index.php last
    }
}
```

Quick start

```
class Message {
    public function __construct(private string $message){}
}

#[RestController]
class GrettingController {

    // response will be JSON { "message": "Hello, !" }
    #[GetMapping("/gretting/:name")]
    public function greet(#[RequestParam(name: "name", defaulValue: "John")] string $name): Message {
        return new Message("Hello, " . $name . "!");
    }

}

#[Avocado]
class DemoApplication {

    public static function run(): void {
        Application::run(__DIR__);
    }

}

DemoApplication::run();
```

Plans for future
----------------
