It provides a ton of extra functionality like extra globals, classes, console commands and methods that help with separation of concerns and building a full-blown MVC application with Leaf. It ships with all Leaf MVC applications and is not meant to be used on its own. 🧩 Features ---------- [](#-features) MVC Core comes with: - Base Controllers - Shortcuts for views and layouts - Console commands for generating files/layouts/modules - Automatic module loading - Config loading for MVC apps - Autoloading directory files - Basically everything that gives Leaf it's MVC superpowers 💬 Stay In Touch --------------- [](#-stay-in-touch) - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/leafphp) - [Join the forum](https://github.com/leafsphp/leaf/discussions/37) - [Chat on discord](https://discord.com/invite/Pkrm9NJPE3) 📓 Learning Leaf 4 MVC --------------------- [](#-learning-leaf-4-mvc) - Leaf has a very easy to understand [documentation](https://leafphp.dev/docs/) which contains information on all operations in Leaf. - You can also check out our [youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCllE-GsYy10RkxBUK0HIffw) which has video tutorials on different topics - We are also working on codelabs which will bring hands-on tutorials you can follow and contribute to. 😇 Contributing -------------- [](#-contributing) We are glad to have you. All contributions are welcome!

We will coordinate the fix and eventually commit the solution in this project. 🤩 Sponsoring Leaf ----------------- [](#-sponsoring-leaf) We are committed to keeping Leaf open-source and free, but maintaining and developing new features now requires significant time and resources. As the project has grown, so have the costs, which have been mostly covered by the team. To sustain and grow Leaf, we need your help to support full-time maintainers. You can sponsor Leaf and any of our packages on [open collective](https://opencollective.com/leaf) or check the [contribution page](https://leafphp.dev/support/) for a list of ways to contribute. And to all our [existing cash/code contributors](https://leafphp.dev/support.html#our-sponsors), we love you all ❤️ ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 97% of packages Maintenance83 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity34 Limited adoption so far Community23 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
