Moufla: a new generation MVC framework for Joomla
=================================================

Why should I care?
------------------

[](#why-should-i-care)

Moufla is a **MVC framework for Joomla**. Actually, it is a bridge between [Joomla](http://joomla.org/) and the [Splash MVC framework](http://mouf-php.com/packages/mouf/mvc.splash/index.md)used by [Mouf-PHP](http://mouf-php.com) (a dependency injection based framework).

Moufla offers the following features:

- **compatible controllers**, declared through a nice graphical DI container
- **PSR-7 compatibility**: your controllers can take into parameter `Request` objects and respond `Response` objects that are compatible with the [PSR-7 HTTP Message interfaces](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/).
- use of **annotations** in your controllers (for instance: `@URL` to declare a new route, `@Logged` to restrict access to logged users, etc...)
- support for any kind of **views** supported in Splash MVC (this includes plain PHP files, [Twig templates](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/), etc...)
- a [nice web-based UI to scafold your controllers and views](http://mouf-php.com/packages/mouf/mvc.splash/doc/writing_controllers.md)
- integration of your views inside the Joomla theme
- (very) easy Ajax support

Another interesting feature is that your code is **100% compatible** with Splash MVC. This means that:

- You can write a controller in Splash MVC and deploy it later in Joomla (or the opposite)
- Since there is also a Drupal module for Splash ([Druplash](http://mouf-php.com/packages/mouf/integration.drupal.druplash/README.md)), and a Wordpress module for Splash ([Moufpress](http://mouf-php.com/packages/mouf/integration.wordpress.moufpress/README.md)), you can actually **write a controller in Joomla and deploy it in Drupal or Wordpress** (or the other way around). Yes, you read it correctly, you can develop an application that will run on Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla (!) Haha! I see you're interested. Let's get started!

Supported Joomla version
------------------------

[](#supported-joomla-version)

Moufla 2.x is compatible with Joomla 3.x and Splash MVC 7.x.

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

[](#installation)

You will first need to install Joomla and Mouf side by side.

1. Start by installing [Joomla](http://joomla.org/) as you would normally do.
2. [Install the Mouf PHP framework](http://mouf-php.com/packages/mouf/mouf/doc/installing_mouf.md) *in the same directory* as Joomla This means you should have the **composer.json** file of Composer in the same directory as the **configuration.php** of Joomla.
3. Modify **composer.json** and add the **moufla** module. Your **composer.json** should contain at least these lines:

    ```
     {
     	"autoload" : {
     		"psr-4" : {
     			"MyApp\\" : "src/MyApp"
     		}
     	},
     	"require" : {
     		"mouf/mouf" : "~2.0",
     		"mouf/integration.joomla.moufla" : "~2.0"
     	},
     	"minimum-stability" : "dev",
     	"prefer-stable": true
     }

    ```

    Do not forget to customize your vendor name (the `MyApp` part of the autoloader section).
4. Create the empty `src/` directory at the root of your project.
5. Run the install process in Mouf: connect to Mouf UI (go to localhost/your\_folder/vendor/mouf/mouf) and run the install process for all the packages (including the Moufla install process of course)

Getting started

Or if you already know Splash, you can directly jump to another part of this documentation:
