SimpleFramework
===============

[](#simpleframework)

SimpleFramework is a simple framework for building out php pages

```
composer require jacob-roth/simple-framework
```

So J, what does this do?
------------------------

[](#so-j-what-does-this-do)

Ever want to build a static website ***and*** want to reuse code you made? No? What do you mean no one builds static sites anymore? Well, SimpleFramework lets you do this anyway.

What's that? Other packages do this better? That's probably true. You should use them, then.

What SimpleFramework does:

- URL Routing
    - maps requests to `pages` directory
        - ex: requesting `/page1` delivers `/pages/page1.php`
        - ex: requesting `/creative/page1` delivers `/pages/creative/page1.php`
    - still works for assets
        - ex: requesting `/assets/styles.css` delivers `/assets/styles.css`
- Build Pages
    - PHP pages in the `pages` directory
    - Use Components
- Build Components
    - PHP or HTML files in the `components` directory
    - Components can be reused between pages
    - Can pass parameters through `$data` object to and between components

What You Need To Do
-------------------

[](#what-you-need-to-do)

1. `composer require jacob-roth/simple-framework`
2. Create `/pages` and `/components` directories in project root
3. Add the following to `.htaccess` into project root directory

    ```
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [NC,L,QSA]
    ```
4. Create `index.php` in project root directory
5. Add the following to `index.php`

    ```
    SimpleFramework\Constants::setDefaults();
    SimpleFramework\Util::loadContent();
    ```

Using Util
----------

----

[](#envs)

If needed, you can change some of the defaults in SimpleFramework using `$_ENV`

$\_ENV nameDefaultDescriptionAPP\_SF\_COMPONENTS`components`Directory where component files are locatedAPP\_SF\_PAGES`pages`Directory where pages are locatedAPP\_SF\_ROOT`index.php`Root PHP page nameAPP\_SF\_404`null`The page delivered when url doesn't map to fileAPP\_SF\_IGNORE\_REGEX`["/^\/\..*$/","/^\/vendor$/"]`If any requests match any of the regular expressions, automatically return 404APP\_SF\_APACHE\_MIME\_DOT\_TYPES`/etc/mime.types`The file path for apache mime typesAPP\_SF\_MIME\_TYPES\_MAP`null`Map of file extensions to content typesYou can set these ENVs like this:

```
$_ENV[SimpleFramework\Constants::notFoundFile] = __DIR__ . "/pages/404.php";
```

This must be done after calling `Constants::setDefaults()`

Limitations
===========

[](#limitations)

- If you choose to change the ENV variable `APP_SF_APACHE_MIME_DOT_TYPES`, you must run the following to properly create the type mapping

```
SimpleFramework\Constants::setMimeTypesMap();
```
