About
=====

[](#about)

Nucleon is a web application that uses [Phalcon](https://www.phalconphp.com/). Our philosophy is to make the web faster, with enjoyable development.

Nucleon, with [Phalcon](https://www.phalconphp.com/), attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as:

- [Simple, fast routing engine.](https://phalcon-nucleon.github.io/#!basics/routing.html)
- [Powerful dependency injection container, and simple service registration.](https://phalcon-nucleon.github.io/#!architecture-concepts/dependency-injection.html)
- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.
- Database agnostic [schema migration](https://phalcon-nucleon.github.io/#!database/migrations.html).
- [HMVC Structure](https://phalcon-nucleon.github.io/#!architecture-concepts/modules-concepts.html).
- [Micro & Fullstack kernel](https://phalcon-nucleon.github.io/#!architecture-concepts/kernels-concepts.html).

Install
=======

[](#install)

```
\> composer create-project nucleon/nucleon app-root

```

[Read installation documentation](https://phalcon-nucleon.github.io/#!getting-started/installation.html)

Require
=======

[](#require)

- PHP 5.6 - 7.2 *(>= 5.6 & <7.3)*
- Phalcon 3 *(~3.0)*
- ext-mbstring
- ext-openssl

Composer & Autoloading
==========================

[](#composer--autoloading)

Nucleon uses composer. So you can use all your libraries prefer as you wish!

The `php quark optimize` command will optimize autoloading using the phalcon loader (best performing autoloader !)
