### App Router–Style PHP Framework

[](#app-routerstyle-php-framework)

**Reqziel** is a lightweight PHP framework inspired by modern App Router concepts. It brings **file-based routing, nested layouts, middleware, and API routes** to PHP — without Laravel or heavy abstractions.

> 🚀 Built for learning, experimentation, and lightweight production
> 🧠 Designed to understand how modern frameworks work under the hood

🧱 Layout System
---------------

[](#-layout-system)

Layouts are resolved automatically based on directory hierarchy.

Rules:

- The closest `layout.php` wraps the page
- Root `app/layout.php` wraps everything
- Layouts receive rendered page content via `$content`

Example:

```
app/layout.php
app/(auth)/admin/layout.php

```

Inside `layout.php`:

```
DOCTYPE html>

```

---

🧠 Metadata (Title & Description)
------------------------------------

[](#-metadata-title--description)

Reqziel uses a **layout-based metadata system**.

- `` and `` tags live in `layout.php`
- Pages can override metadata using the `$metadata` array
- Pages should not render `` or `` tags

### Example

[](#example)

**app/page.php**

```

Welcome
```

**app/post/\[id\]/page.php**

```
