Installation [](#1-installation) Install NexaPHP via Composer: ``` composer require ravikisha/nexaphp ``` --- ### 2. Setup [](#2-setup) To start, initialize the **Application** class with the root directory and configuration: ``` use ravikisha\nexaphp\Application; $config = [ 'userClass' => \app\models\User::class, 'db' => [ 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'user' => 'root', 'password' => 'password' ] ]; $app = new Application(__DIR__, $config); ``` - `userClass`: Defines the User model. - `db`: Database configuration parameters (`dsn`, `user`, `password`). --- ### 3. Core Components [](#3-core-components) The NexaPHP framework includes several core components: - **Application**: The main entry point to the application. - **Router**: Manages route handling. - **Request**: Handles HTTP requests. - **Response**: Sends HTTP responses. - **Database**: Manages database interactions. - **Session**: Manages session data.

Controllers [](#4-controllers) Controllers in NexaPHP define how to handle different routes. ``` namespace app\controllers; use ravikisha\nexaphp\Controller; class SiteController extends Controller { public function home() { return $this->render('home'); } public function contact() { return $this->render('contact'); } } ``` - **Controller::render()**: Renders a view. - **setLayout()**: Sets a custom layout. --- ### 5. Routing [](#5-routing) Define routes using `Router::get()` for GET requests and `Router::post()` for POST requests: ``` $app->router->get('/', [SiteController::class, 'home']); $app->router->post('/contact', [SiteController::class, 'contact']); ``` NexaPHP supports dynamic route parameters: ``` $app->router->get('/profile/{id}', [UserController::class, 'profile']); ``` - **Route parameters** can be accessed using `Request::getRouteParams()`. --- ### 6. Database Integration [](#6-database-integration) NexaPHP integrates with PDO for database management. 1. **Define a Model**: ``` namespace app\models; use ravikisha\nexaphp\db\DBModel; class User extends DBModel { public string $id; public string $name; public static function tableName(): string { return 'users'; } public function attributes(): array { return ['id', 'name']; } } ``` 2. **Migrations**: Run migrations to manage the database structure. ``` $app->db->applyMigrations(); ``` 3. **Querying**: - **save()**: Save a model instance. - **findOne()**: Retrieve a record by criteria. --- ### 7. Middleware [](#7-middleware) Middleware allows filtering and controlling request handling. 1. **Create Middleware**: ``` namespace app\middlewares; use ravikisha\nexaphp\middlewares\BaseMiddleware; class AuthMiddleware extends BaseMiddleware { public function execute() { // Logic for authentication } } ``` 2. **Apply Middleware**: ``` $this->registerMiddleware(new AuthMiddleware(['profile', 'settings'])); ``` --- ### 8. Views [](#8-views) Views define how content is rendered. The **View** class handles view rendering. ``` // Render a view file located in views directory return $this->render('viewName', ['param' => $value]); ``` 1. **Layouts**: - Define layout files under `views/layouts`. - Use `{{content}}` to insert view content. 2. **Passing Parameters**: ``` return $this->render('profile', ['name' => 'John Doe']); ``` --- ### 9. Forms and Fields [](#9-forms-and-fields) Forms and fields are handled through classes in `ravikisha\nexaphp\form`. 1. **Form**: ``` use ravikisha\nexaphp\form\Form; $form = Form::begin('/submit', 'post'); echo $form->field($model, 'username'); Form::end(); ``` 2. **Field Types**: ``` echo (new Field($model, 'password'))->passwordField(); ``` Supported types: `password`, `email`, `number`, `date`, `file`, etc. --- ### 10. Session Management [](#10-session-management) The **Session** class provides functions for handling sessions. - **setFlash()**: Set flash messages. - **getFlash()**: Retrieve flash messages. - **set()** and **get()**: Manage session data. Example: ``` Application::$app->session->setFlash('success', 'Logged in successfully'); ``` --- ### 11. Exception Handling [](#11-exception-handling) The framework includes custom exceptions: - **NotFoundException**: Triggered for invalid routes. - **ForbiddenException**: Used for access control. --- ### 12. User Authentication [](#12-user-authentication) **UserModel** is an abstract class that provides basic functionality for user management. ``` class User extends UserModel { public static function primaryKey(): string { return 'id'; } public function getDisplayName(): string { return $this->username; } } ``` - **login()**: Log in a user. - **logout()**: Log out a user. - **isGuest()**: Check if a user is logged in. --- ### 13. Events [](#13-events) The **Application** class supports custom events. 1. **Define an Event**: ``` Application::$app->on(Application::EVENT_BEFORE_REQUEST, function () { // Before request logic }); ``` 2. **Trigger Events**: Use `triggerEvent()` to initiate custom behavior at various points in the application. --- ### 14. Sample Application [](#14-sample-application) Below is an example of setting up a simple application using NexaPHP: ``` // Load NexaPHP classes require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; use ravikisha\nexaphp\Application; use app\controllers\SiteController; $config = [ 'userClass' => \app\models\User::class, 'db' => [ 'dsn' => 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'user' => 'root', 'password' => 'password' ] ]; // Initialize the application $app = new Application(__DIR__, $config); // Define routes $app->router->get('/', [SiteController::class, 'home']); $app->router->get('/contact', [SiteController::class, 'contact']); // Run the application $app->run(); ``` --- > This Project in for the purpose of learning and understanding the MVC architecture and how it works. It is not intended to be used in production environments. For production, it is recommended to use a well-established framework like Laravel, Symfony, or Yii. --- License ------- [](#license) This Project is licensed under the [MIT License](LICENSE).
