**No framework at all!**

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
$ make setup
```

To start Docker container:

```
$ docker-compose up -d
```

To run the built-in PHP server:

```
$ make serve
```

To run the built-in PHP server in a Docker container:

```
$ make DOCKER_OPTS="-p 8080:8080" docker serve
```

You should have the app running on localhost, port 8080.

Clean up when you are done:

```
$ make clean
```

Recommended development environment
-----------------------------------

[](#recommended-development-environment)

Make sure the following are installed:

- latest [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
- latest [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
- make
- [composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

Components
----------

[](#components)

No framework uses the following components:

- Router: [nikic/fast-route](https://github.com/nikic/FastRoute)
- DI Container: [php-di/php-di](https://github.com/PHP-DI/PHP-DI)
- PSR-7: [zendframework/zend-diactoros](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-diactoros)
- PSR-15: [middlewares/\*](https://github.com/middlewares)
- Template Engine: [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/)
- Environment: [vlucas/phpdotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv)

What else?
----------

[](#what-else)

[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) for development and a production ready Docker image are included. For simplicity, they are both PHP+Apache based images, in production PHP-FPM and Nginx are recommended.

Worth mentioning that 100% of any building, caching happens only at container build time, no issues like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38777550/recompile-symfony-container-manually).

[Materialize CSS](http://materializecss.com) is used as the frontend framework.

PHP 7.1, because it's 2017 (and not 2007).

This skeleton is heavily inspired by @Swader's [nofw](https://github.com/Swader/nofw) and his [The framework is dead, long live the framework](http://2016.websummercamp.com/PHP/The-framework-is-dead-long-live-the-framework) workshop presented at the [Web Summer Camp](http://2016.websummercamp.com) in 2016.

Phil Sturgeon also has an interesting [article](https://philsturgeon.uk/php/2014/01/13/the-framework-is-dead-long-live-the-framework/) about the topic.
