About Tuppence
--------------

[](#about-tuppence)

Tuppence is a *very small* micro framework that brings together a [powerful PSR-11 dependency injection container](http://container.thephpleague.com/), a [fast PSR-7 router supporting PSR-15 middleware](http://route.thephpleague.com/) and a [simple and effective PSR-14 event dispatcher](http://event.thephpleague.com/3.0/) all provided by *The League of Extraordinary Packages*.

Tuppence aims to be simple, lightweight and extremely flexible in order to provide the tools needed to *quickly* write web applications and APIs.

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

[](#installation)

It's recommended to use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install this framework and all required dependencies:

```
$ composer require photogabble/tuppence

```

Alternatively, you can create a new project using the [tuppence boilerplate](https://github.com/photogabble/tuppence-boilerplate) via:

```
$ composer create-project photogabble/tuppence-boilerplate

```

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

Tuppence requires PHP 8.4 or newer, and I will not provide support for older versions of PHP.

3.0 TODO List
-------------

[](#30-todo-list)

- Add usage documentation

Not invented here
-----------------

[](#not-invented-here)

Tuppence was first created as an update to and in inspiration from Proton by [Alex Bilbie](https://github.com/alexbilbie). It appears that in the many years since then the Proton repository has been deleted.
