`phpnomad/loader` defines what an initializer is and provides the `Bootstrapper` that composes them. Every [PHPNomad](https://phpnomad.com) application starts by constructing a `Bootstrapper` with a DI container and a list of initializers, then calling `load()`. That's the moment bindings get registered, event listeners get attached, REST routes get wired up, and platform integrations take hold.

The pattern is the spine of the framework. `phpnomad/core` depends on it, [Siren](https://sirenaffiliates.com) uses it directly as the top of its `Application` class, and it's been running in production for years across Siren, several MCP servers, and other client systems.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require phpnomad/loader
```

Most applications pull in [`phpnomad/core`](https://packagist.org/packages/phpnomad/core) instead, which depends on `phpnomad/loader` and bundles the rest of the framework foundation. Install loader directly if you're building from the bottom up or writing your own core.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

Construct a `Bootstrapper` with your container and one or more initializers, then call `load()`.

```
