Chandler provides the foundation — routing, ORM, templating, auth, sessions, email, and captcha — while apps register themselves as builtin extensions and supply the actual pages. Important After 0.1.0 update, site administrators do not need to install Chandler separately. It is now installed through `composer`. If you were using Chandler before this update, you will have to migrate. In case of OpenVK, please refer to [this Pull Request](https://github.com/OpenVK/openvk/pull/1718). Features -------- [](#features) - **Routing** — YAML-defined routes with typed placeholders (`{num}`, `{text}`, `{slug}`, custom `{?regex}`) - **ORM** — Nette Database with ActiveRow-style `DBEntity` models, soft-delete, change logging - **Templating** — [Latte](https://latte.nette.org) engine with custom `{css}`, `{script}`, `{presenter}` tags - **Auth** — Argon2id password hashing, session tokens (JWT), IP/UA validation - **Captcha** — built-in, served as WebP, stored captcha with encryption - **Email** — SwiftMailer SMTP or Postmark API - **Events** — `EventDispatcher` for hook-based plugins - **Console** — Symfony Console commands - **Config** — YAML with disk caching - **DI** — Nette DI container per app namespace Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) See the [basic example](examples/basic/) for a minimal runnable app: ``` examples/basic/ ├── helloapp.yml # Unified config (chandler: + app: sections) ├── bootstrap.php # Registers the app as a builtin extension ├── htdocs/index.php # Web entry point └── Web/ # Presenters, routes, templates ``` ``` cd examples/basic && php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 -t htdocs htdocs/index.php ``` How to develop an app --------------------- [](#how-to-develop-an-app) Please, refer to [USAGE.md](USAGE.md) for more details. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2+ - ext-sodium, ext-yaml (recommended), ext-mbstring - MySQL 8+ / Percona Server / MariaDB State of this repo ================== [](#state-of-this-repo) This product is still in development phase, we are currently writing documentation/tests and API is going to change. ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 46% of packages Maintenance55 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community19 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity14 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
