It creates a small web application with example controllers, views, configuration templates, and the `keenly` command-line helper. Features -------- [](#features) - Composer-based project creation - Default `index` and `admin` application modules - Generated framework configuration files - Web front controller for route dispatch - `keenly` CLI helper for model generation and controller actions - Minimal defaults intended for extension by application developers Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.4 or later, including PHP 8.x - Composer 2 - A web server such as Nginx, Apache, or IIS - PHP extensions required by the enabled Keenly features PHP 7.4 remains supported for existing applications. New deployments should prefer a maintained PHP 8.x release. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Create a new project with Composer: ``` composer create-project keenlysoft/app keenly cd keenly ``` Composer uses Packagist by default. Older releases referenced a regional Composer mirror; that mirror is no longer required. Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) Start the PHP development server from the generated project: ``` php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t web ``` Open `http://127.0.0.1:8080` in a browser. For production, configure your web server document root to point to `web/`. Example Nginx routing: ``` server { listen 80; server_name example.test; root /path/to/keenly/web; index index.php; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_pass unix:/path/to/php-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi.conf; } } ``` Replace the document root and `fastcgi_pass` value with paths for your environment. CLI Usage --------- [](#cli-usage) Generate models from the application root: ``` php keenly model php keenly model user php keenly model -f user ``` Run a controller action: ``` php keenly cli admin@index@index argument1 argument2 ``` The CLI route format is `project@controller@method`, followed by optional arguments.

Review them before deployment. Do not commit production credentials. Use environment-specific configuration for database and Redis secrets.
