(you can have a model that loads a Database from Postgres and another Model that loads a Database from MySQL. - Responsive Theme (SB Admin 2 Template for the Backend) - Login protected Admin module - Examples to create a REST API - Examples to send Native Apple Push Notifications or use Firebase for Android - Production Tested - try { } catch { } login for errors (an improvement over CodeIgniter's) - Secured Application Folder from Public. --- How to Install -------------- [](#how-to-install) ### Requirements [](#requirements) - PHP 8.1+ - Composer ### 1. Install via Composer [](#1-install-via-composer) ``` composer require ixaya/manager ``` ### 2. Scaffold your project [](#2-scaffold-your-project) Copy the sample application structure from the package into your project root: ``` cp -r vendor/ixaya/manager/sample/. . ``` This gives you a complete working structure — controllers, models, views, config, and entry points — ready to customize. ### 3. Configure environment [](#3-configure-environment) ``` cp .env.sample.dev .env cp .env.sample.priv .env.priv ``` Open both files and fill in the required fields: - `.env` — general settings: app name, base URL, environment, database credentials, cache, mail. - `.env.priv` — sensitive secrets: API keys, tokens, private credentials. **Never commit this file.** ### Suggested packages [](#suggested-packages) Depending on the features you need, install one or more of the following: **Optional — core extensions:** ``` composer require aws/aws-sdk-php # AWS S3, Textract, Bedrock integration composer require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet # Excel export/import ``` **Optional — WebSocket server:** ``` composer require amphp/websocket-server # Built-in WebSocket server composer require amphp/redis # Redis-backed WebSocket scaling composer require amphp/log # Structured logging for async services composer require adhocore/jwt # WebSocket authentication ``` --- PHP Validations --------------- [](#php-validations) ### PHP Static Code Analysis [](#php-static-code-analysis) Run using PHPStan: **First time, install PHPStan:** ``` composer require --dev phpstan/phpstan ``` **Standard analysis:** ``` ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse ``` **With increased memory limit:** ``` ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=512M ``` > **Tip:** Use the memory limit option if you encounter out-of-memory errors during analysis. ### PHP Unit Testing [](#php-unit-testing) Run using PHPUnit **First time, install PHPUnit:** ``` composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit ``` **Run all tests:** ``` ./vendor/bin/phpunit ``` **Run specific test file:** ``` ./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Unit/ExampleTest.php ``` **Run tests with verbose output:** ``` ./vendor/bin/phpunit --verbose ``` **Run tests in specific group/category:** ``` ./vendor/bin/phpunit --group unit ``` > **Tip:** Use `--testdox` flag for readable test output, or `--stop-on-failure` to halt execution on the first failed test. ### PHP Code Formatting [](#php-code-formatting) Fix using PHP CS Fixer \*First time, install PHP CS Fixer:\*\* ``` composer require --dev php-cs-fixer/shim ``` **Fix code formatting:** ``` ./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix ``` **Dry run (preview changes without applying):** ``` ./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --dry-run ``` **Dry run with diff (preview exact changes):** ``` ./vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer fix --dry-run --diff ``` **Power user — pinned PHP version (macOS Homebrew):** ``` /opt/homebrew/opt/php@8.3/bin/php /opt/homebrew/bin/php-cs-fixer fix ``` --- Docker Setup ------------ [](#docker-setup) This project can be run using Docker with different configurations for development and production environments. ### Configuration Files [](#configuration-files) The project uses multiple Docker Compose files: - `docker-compose.yml` - Base configuration (shared settings) - `docker-compose.dev.yml` - Development overrides (code mounting, live changes) - `docker-compose.prod.yml` - Production overrides (no volumes, optimized) ### Building and Running [](#building-and-running) #### Basic Setup (Base Configuration Only) [](#basic-setup-base-configuration-only) ``` # Build docker-compose build # Start docker-compose up -d # Rebuild and start (if Dockerfile changed) docker-compose up -d --build # Stop docker-compose down ``` #### Development Mode [](#development-mode) Uses live code mounting - changes are reflected immediately without rebuilding. ``` # Start docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d app ``` #### Production Mode [](#production-mode) Uses code copied into the image - requires rebuild for code changes. ``` # Start docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d app ``` ### Useful Commands [](#useful-commands) ``` # View all logs docker-compose logs -f # View logs for specific service docker-compose logs -f app # Enter the app container docker-compose exec app bash ``` --- MsgPack Support --------------- [](#msgpack-support) This package can use MsgPack for faster cache and payload serialization. While the native PHP MsgPack extension (installed via `pecl` or system packages) offers the best performance, not all servers have it available. ### Install the PHP MsgPack Fallback Library [](#install-the-php-msgpack-fallback-library) Add the pure PHP implementation to your project, along the composer patcher: ``` composer require rybakit/msgpack composer require cweagans/composer-patches ``` ### Apply the PHP 8.1+ Compatibility Patch [](#apply-the-php-81-compatibility-patch) Add the following configuration to your root `composer.json`: ``` { ... "extra": { "patches": { "rybakit/msgpack": { "Fix PHP 8.1 chr() deprecation": "vendor/ixaya/manager/patches/msgpack-php81-fix.patch" } } } ... } ``` ### Apply the Changes [](#apply-the-changes) Run the following command to install dependencies and apply patches: ``` composer install ``` --- Application Structure --------------------- [](#application-structure) ### Project Setup [](#project-setup) We recommend creating a root folder named `app` and checking out the project inside it. The framework follows an HMVC (Hierarchical Model-View-Controller) architecture based on CodeIgniter. ### Root Directory [](#root-directory) ``` app/ ├── composer.json ├── application/ ├── public/ ├── private/ ├── bin/ └── patches/ ``` ### Public Directory [](#public-directory) The `public/` folder contains all publicly accessible files served by the web server. ``` public/ ├── index.php # Application entry point ├── media/ # User-uploaded files └── assets/ # Static assets organized by module └── {module}/ ├── js/ # JavaScript files ├── css/ # Stylesheets ├── images/ # Images └── videos/ # Video files ``` ### Application Directory [](#application-directory) The `application/` folder contains the core application code and global resources. ``` application/ ├── cache/ # Application cache ├── config/ # Application configuration files ├── controllers/ # Global controllers ├── database/ # Database configuration ├── helpers/ # Global helper functions ├── hooks/ # Global hooks ├── language/ # Global language files ├── libraries/ # Global libraries ├── migrations/ # Database migrations ├── models/ # Global models ├── modules/ # HMVC modules (see below) ├── third_party/ # Third-party libraries └── views/ # Global views ``` ### Modules (HMVC Structure) [](#modules-hmvc-structure) The framework uses HMVC architecture, allowing you to organize code into self-contained modules. Each module can have its own MVC structure and resources. ``` application/modules/ └── {module}/ ├── controllers/ # Module-specific controllers ├── models/ # Module-specific models ├── migrations/ # Module-specific migrations ├── views/ # Module-specific views ├── libraries/ # Module-specific libraries ├── helpers/ # Module-specific helpers ├── language/ # Module-specific language files └── config/ # Module-specific configuration ``` **Benefits of HMVC:** - **Modularity**: Each module is self-contained and reusable - **Organization**: Better code organization for large applications - **Separation**: Modules can be developed and tested independently - **Scalability**: Easy to add, remove, or replace modules **Example Module Structure:** ``` application/modules/blog/ ├── controllers/ │ ├── Blog.php │ └── Admin.php ├── models/ │ └── Blog_model.php ├── views/ │ ├── index.php │ └── detail.php └── libraries/ └── Blog_helper.php ``` ### Additional Directories [](#additional-directories) - **`bin/`** - Command-line scripts and utilities - **`private/`** - Private files not accessible via web - **`patches/`** - Compatibility patches for dependencies ### Health Score 60 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance99 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity24 Limited adoption so far Community17 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity84 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 58.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
