Vine
----

[](#vine)

[![Tests](https://github.com/ketyl/vine/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ketyl/vine/actions/workflows/tests.yml)

Vine is a simple PHP 8 micro-framework, written from the ground-up. This is more of a learning experience for me and is **not** intended to be production-ready, nor is it going to be in the future.

Inspired by popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel and Slim, Vine maintains a focus on developer experience. Its API is designed to be simple, intuitive, and consistent, all while using as little "magic" as possible.

### Features

[](#features)

- Flexible routing engine
- Service container
- Basic view support
- Basic middleware support
- Multiple return types

### Roadmap

[](#roadmap)

- Dependency injection
- Basic templating engine
- Adherence to PSR standards (routing, middleware, etc.)

### Installation

[](#installation)

The installation of Vine is like any other composer package. First, include the package as a dependency:

```
composer require ketyl/vine
```

Once installed, you may create an instance of `Ketyl\Vine\App`, add your routes, and run the application:

```
// Create a new application instance
$app = new App();
$router = $app->router();

// Add global middleware
$router->addMiddleware(function (Request $request, Response $response, $next) {
    $response->write('BEFORE');
    $response = $next($request, $response);
    $response->write('AFTER');

    return $response;
});

// Anonymous function
$router->get('/', fn () => 'Hello, world!');

// Adding route-specific middleware
$router->get('/', fn () => 'Hello, world!')
    ->addMiddleware(function (Request $request, Response $response, $next) {
        $response->write('BEFORE');
        $response = $next($request, $response);
        $response->write('AFTER');

        return $response;
    });

// Class-based route using a method
$router->get('/posts', [PostController::class, 'index']);

// Class-based route using __invoke
$router->get('/download', DownloadController::class);

// Route parameters
$router->get('/param/{foo}', fn ($foo) => $foo);

// Route parameters with RegEx restriction
$router->get('/regex-a/{foo:\d+}', fn ($foo) => $foo);

// Basic RegEx restriction
$router->get('/regex-b/\d+', fn ($foo) => $foo);

// Return a view
$router->get('/view', fn () => view(__DIR__ . '/../views/index.html'));

// Attempt to match the request's URI with the registered routes
$app->run();
```
