NixPHP App
==========

[](#nixphp-app)

A clean starting point for building applications with [NixPHP](https://github.com/nixphp/framework) — the minimal and flexible PHP microframework.

> **"As simple as possible, as flexible as necessary."**

---

🚀 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

```
composer create-project nixphp/app my-app
```

Alternatively, clone the repo manually:

```
git clone https://github.com/nixphp/app my-app
cd my-app
composer install
```

Make sure your webserver points to the `/public` directory as document root.

---

🧰 Requirements
--------------

[](#-requirements)

- PHP 8.3+
- Composer
- A webserver (e.g. Apache, nginx, or PHP’s built-in server)

---

🗂️ Project Structure
--------------------

[](#️-project-structure)

```
/app
  /Controllers
  /Models
  /views
  config.php
  routes.php
/public
  index.php
bootstrap.php
composer.json

```

- `app/` contains your application logic
- `public/` is the webroot
- `bootstrap.php` initializes the app
- `config.php` holds your app configuration
- `routes.php` contains all the routes

---

🛠️ First Steps
--------------

[](#️-first-steps)

1. Define your first route in `app/routes.php`:

```
route()->add('GET', '/', [App\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index']);
```

2. Create a controller in `app/controllers/HomeController.php`:

```
namespace App\Controllers;

use function NixPHP\render;

class HomeController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return render('home', ['name' => 'World']);
    }
}
```

3. Create a view in `app/views/home.phtml`:

```

Hello, !
```
