What is Phink ?
---------------

[](#what-is-phink-)

Phink Framework is a component oriented PHP framework. It allows you to build sites like ASP.Net webform does with its user controls and master pages all in benefiting of an MVC architecture. It integrates a client-side layer in shape of a JavaScript API that looks very much like the PHP classes. This coupled solution is aiming to easily build Ajax Applications. A simple JavaScript starter statement can launch the entire application.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Apache (no other server is supported right now) PHP 7.4
PHP extensions : SQLite, CURL, ZIP, other ones should be setup by default.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Phink is registered in the Packagist library so it's available via composer.

The simplest method is to install it as a standalone application like this:

```
composer create-project phink/phink myproject "dev-master"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Let's say myproject is a subdirectory of your local Apache server Document root.

In your browser, go to:

All necessary files will set up automatically and after a few seconds you'll be in front of the welcome page.

Sample javascript bootstrap sample.js
-------------------------------------

[](#sample-javascript-bootstrap-samplejs)

```
var sample = null;
Phink.DOM.ready(function () {

	sample = TWebApplication.create('sample.com');
	sample.main = sample.createView('main');

	var sampleMain = sample.createController(sample.main, 'sample.main')
	.actions({
		goHome : function () {
			sampleMain.getSimpleView('master.html', function(data) {
				$(document.body).html(data.view);
				sampleMain.getSimpleView('home.html', function(data) {
					$('#homeContent').html(data.view);
				});
			});
		}
	})
	.onload(function () {
		sampleMain = this;
		this.goHome();
	});
});

```
