pecee php framework
===================

[](#pecee-php-framework)

**Fast, lightweight, open source MVC PHP framework based on Microsoft MVVM.**

Demo project
------------

[](#demo-project)

Demo project available here:

Features:
---------

[](#features)

- Fully customisable template engine. Overwrite render() method to add your own templating engine through composer or create your own.
- Every template has class, called a Widget, behind which renders before the view. From here you can set properties, create methods and you can even render widgets inside a widget - this makes it super easy the create small pieces of functionality, that can be reused wherever you like.
- Because every template is basically a class, you can extend functionality from other widgets and reuse the same functionality or overwrite the things you want to change.
- Don't like something? Everything is 100% object oriented, so every little piece of code can be easily extended.
