Leaf MVC is built on top of [leaf php](https://leafphp.dev), and is the framework for people who just want to ship. It gives you the structure and tools of larger frameworks like Laravel and Ruby on Rails with the simplicity and elegance of Leaf which lets you focus on shipping—fast.

Setting up
----------

[](#setting-up)

You can install Leaf MVC with the [Leaf CLI](https://cli.leafphp.dev)

```
leaf create  --mvc
```

This will create an MVC application for you. Start off your project with authentication, mailing, UI/UX, and a ton of other features using Leaf's [powerful modules](https://leafphp.dev/docs/modules/), and then run your app with:

```
php leaf serve
```

Sponsoring Leaf

To keep Leaf alive and thriving, we need your support now more than ever. Sponsor us on [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/leafsphp) or visit our [sponsors page](https://leafphp.dev/support/) to explore ways you can contribute.
