Universal SPA Engine (jarir-ahmed/universal-spa)
================================================

[](#universal-spa-engine-jarir-ahmeduniversal-spa)

A lightning-fast, zero-reload Single Page Application (SPA) engine for **any** PHP Framework (Laravel, CodeIgniter, Symfony, Slim, or even raw PHP).

Two Modes
---------

[](#two-modes)

This package empowers you with two distinct approaches:

### 1. HTML Mode (Zero Backend Required)

[](#1-html-mode-zero-backend-required)

In this mode, the frontend JavaScript fetches the full HTML page, parses it in the browser using `DOMParser`, and swaps out the body. **Pros:** Requires ZERO PHP changes. Works with static sites or any backend.

### 2. JSON Mode (Bandwidth Optimized)

[](#2-json-mode-bandwidth-optimized)

In this mode, the PHP backend intercepts the response buffer, parses the HTML, and sends only the required parts (Title, Body, Scripts) as a tiny JSON object. **Pros:** Faster network transfer.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require jarir-ahmed/universal-spa
```

Setup (JSON Mode)
-----------------

[](#setup-json-mode)

1. Put this at the very top of your PHP application (e.g., `public/index.php` or as a middleware):

```
\JarirAhmed\UniversalSpa\SpaEngine::start();
```

2. Add `data-spa-content` to your main wrapper in your HTML layout:

```

```

3. Add the `data-spa` attribute to any links you want to feel instant:

```
About Us
```

4. Include the JS script and initialize it:

```

    new JarirSpa({
        mode: 'json' // or 'html'
    });

```
