A PHP framework with a strong focus on IDE support through correct PHPDoc usage and maintenance. Other core features include:

- Straightforward bootstrapping with zero default project structure, allowing you to use the framework however you prefer.
- Environment based configuration.
- A simple, elegant system for provisioning and calling application services, where the bulk of your application code will be written and called from.
- Familiar HTTP request + response routing and lifecycle with middleware support.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Tempest can be [found on Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/martywallace/tempest) and installed with Composer:

```
$ composer require martywallace/tempest

```

However for new projects it is recommended to use the [`tempest-app`](https://github.com/martywallace/tempest-app)boilerplate project with Composer's `create-project`. This will scaffold a new project using the ideal structure for building an application with Tempest:

```
$ composer create-project martywallace/tempest-app my-app

```
