WP MVC Core (For Wordpress plugins and themes)
==============================================

**This is a forked version of [amostajo/lightweight-mvc@1.5](https://github.com/amostajo/lightweight-mvc.git)**

**Lightweight MVC** is a small framework that adds *Models*, *Views* and *Controllers* to your custom **Wordpress** plugin or theme.

Lightweight MVC utilices existing Wordpress functionality preventing from overloading the already heavy loaded Wordpress core.

This framework was inspired by **Laravel** to add the MVC design pattern to Wordpress development in an efficient, elegant and optimized way.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 7.4

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

[](#installation)

Add

```
"media-store-net/wp-mvc-core" : "1.0.*"
```

to your composer.json. Then run `composer install` or `composer update`.

**NOTE** If you are not using composer, you can download the ZIP but will need to include the files manually since not autoload will be generated.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Your project needs to store somewhere your `Models`, `Views` and `Controllers`, and **Lightweight MVC** must know where.

Create these as folders, like this:

```
[PROJECT ROOT]
 |---> [controllers]
 |---> [models]
 |---> [views]
```

Then in your `functions.php` or `plugins.php` file set these at the very beginnning, like:

```
// Path to the controllers folder.
$engine = new MediaStoreNet\MVC_Core\Engine(

	// Path to the views folder.
	$views_path = 'path_to_views_folder',

	// Path to the controllers folder.
	$controllers_path = 'path_to_controllers_folder',

	// Namespace of your plugin or theme. For controller access
	$namespace = 'MyApp'
);
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Models

[](#models)

In **Lightweight MVC**, a `Model` at the end is just a type of Wordpress post. Store your models at the `models` folder.

Here is model example:
