About Luxid
-----------

[](#about-luxid)

> **Note:** This repository contains the core engine of the Luxid framework. If you want to build an application using Luxid, starter templates and documentation will be provided in the future.

**Luxid** is a modern, lightweight PHP framework designed with simplicity, speed, and architectural clarity in mind.

Rather than enforcing heavy abstractions, Luxid gives developers full control over how their applications are structured while still providing powerful tools for routing, request handling, and rendering.

Luxid introduces a clean architectural pattern called **SEA**:

> **Screen (Views) → Entities (Models) → Actions (Controllers)**

This structure keeps applications readable, maintainable, and easy to reason about—especially for developers interested in understanding framework internals.

---

Why Luxid?
----------

[](#why-luxid)

Web development should feel clear and enjoyable, not overwhelming.

Luxid focuses on:

- Explicit and expressive routing
- Action-based request handling
- A simple, readable rendering system
- Minimal setup with maximum flexibility
- Transparent internals with no hidden magic

Luxid removes unnecessary complexity found in larger frameworks while preserving the features developers rely on daily.

---

Key Features
------------

[](#key-features)

- Fast and expressive routing engine
- Action-based controllers (a cleaner alternative to classical MVC)
- Lightweight Screen rendering system using `.nova.php`
- Framework-level request sanitization
- Extensible and modular architecture
- Elegant and readable syntax
- Zero-dependency core (Composer autoloading only)

---

Use Cases
---------

[](#use-cases)

Luxid is well suited for:

- Small to medium-sized web applications
- APIs and backend services
- Dashboards and admin panels
- School and campus management systems
- Learning and teaching modern PHP framework design

---

Learning Luxid
--------------

[](#learning-luxid)

Luxid is intentionally designed to be beginner-friendly, especially for developers learning how frameworks work internally.

Documentation and guides will be published soon in the `/docs` directory.

Until then, you can explore the core structure:

- `screens/` — application views and UI logic
- `actions/` — request handlers and controllers
- `entities/` — domain models
- `system/` — framework core (Router, Request, Response, Engine)

---
