MintyPHP Core
=============

[](#mintyphp-core)

A lightweight, minimalist PHP framework providing essential components for modern web applications.

MintyPHP will run on any Linux web server running PHP + MariaDB + Memcache

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

[](#requirements)

- **PHP**: >= 8.0
- **Extensions**:
    - `ext-memcached`: Required for caching functionality
    - `ext-mysqli`: Required for database operations

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

[](#installation)

Install MintyPHP Core via Composer:

```
composer require mintyphp/core
```

Development
-----------

[](#development)

### Project Structure

[](#project-structure)

The project follows a dual-layer architecture:

- **`src/Core/`**: Contains the core implementation classes (e.g., `Core/Template.php`, `Core/Router.php`)
- **`src/`**: Contains auto-generated static wrapper classes (e.g., `Template.php`, `Router.php`)

### Important: Do NOT Edit Generated Classes

[](#important-do-not-edit-generated-classes)

**The wrapper classes in `src/` are auto-generated.** Do not manually edit these files as your changes will be overwritten.

### Making Changes

[](#making-changes)

1. **Edit Core Classes**: Make all changes to files in `src/Core/` directory
2. **Regenerate Wrappers**: After modifying core classes, regenerate the wrapper classes:

```
php generate_wrappers.php
```

This script automatically generates static wrapper classes that provide a convenient facade pattern for the instance-based Core classes.

### Development Workflow

[](#development-workflow)

```
# 1. Make changes to core classes
nano src/Core/Template.php

# 2. Regenerate wrapper classes
php generate_wrappers.php

# 3. Run tests to verify changes
./test.sh

# 4. Run static analysis (optional)
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
```

Running Tests
-------------

[](#running-tests)

### Run All Tests

[](#run-all-tests)

```
./test.sh
```

Or directly with PHPUnit:

```
vendor/bin/phpunit tests
```

### Run Specific Test Class

[](#run-specific-test-class)

```
vendor/bin/phpunit tests/Core/RouterTest.php
```

### Run Specific Test Method

[](#run-specific-test-method)

```
