But it is *optional*. You can use plain HTML without Twig. - Views must be located in *app/Views* directory. - All views must be named with suffix *view* before the file extension. e.g.: *welcome.**view**.html*, *product.**view**.html* - View cache can be enabled or disabled in the application config. When rendering a view (with Twig): ---------------------------------- [](#when-rendering-a-view-with-twig) ``` return view('welcome'); ``` When a view is inside a folder, include the *folder* then *view name* separated by a *period*: ``` return view('your_folder.welcome'); ``` Please read the Twig documentation for more information: **NOTE:** - Views must be a valid HTML file: e.g. *welcome.view.html* - Layout files can be Twig files: e.g. *layout.twig*, *master.twig* When rendering a plain HTML view: --------------------------------- [](#when-rendering-a-plain-html-view) Pass a third parameter `'normal'` to render without the template engine: ``` return view('welcome', [], 'normal'); ``` **NOTE:** - Views must be valid PHP files: e.g. *welcome.view.php* - Normal rendering does not support inheritance - The second parameter holds variables to pass. If empty, it must be initialized. Validation ========== [](#validation) Simply includes a full validation library with 76+ validation rules and 16+ filters. ``` use Simple\Validation\Validator as Validate; $result = Validate::is_valid($_POST, [ 'name' => 'required|min_len:3|max_len:255', 'email' => 'required|valid_email', 'age' => 'required|numeric|min_numeric:18', ]); ``` Read the full validation documentation at: Encryption ========== [](#encryption) Simply offers encryption using defuse/php-encryption. Run this command **once**: ``` php cli key:generate ``` Encrypt ------- [](#encrypt) ``` use Simple\Security\SimplyEncrypt; $encrypted = SimplyEncrypt::encrypt('secret text'); ``` Decrypt ------- [](#decrypt) ``` use Simple\Security\SimplyDecrypt; $decrypted = SimplyDecrypt::decrypt($ciphertext); ``` CLI Commands ============ [](#cli-commands) CommandDescription`php cli make:controller`Generate a controller`php cli make:model`Generate a model`php cli make:request`Generate a FormRequest class`php cli make:observer`Generate an observer`php cli make:auth`Scaffold authentication`php cli serve`Start PHP development server`php cli key:generate`Generate application key`php cli route:list`List all registered routesRouting ======= [](#routing) Basic ----- [](#basic) ``` Router::set('products', [ 'controller' => 'ProductController', 'action' => 'index' ]); ``` With variables -------------- [](#with-variables) ``` Router::set('products/{id:\d+}', [ 'controller' => 'ProductController', 'action' => 'show' ]); ``` Resource routes --------------- [](#resource-routes) ``` Router::resource('products', 'ProductController'); // Generates: index, create, store, show, edit, update, destroy ``` Route groups ------------ [](#route-groups) ``` Router::group('admin', function () { Router::get('users', ['controller' => 'AdminController', 'action' => 'users']); }); ``` Full FQCN --------- [](#full-fqcn) ``` Router::set('admin/{action}', [ 'controller' => 'App\Controllers\Admin\AdminController' ]); ``` Coding Style ============ [](#coding-style) PSR-12 Extended Coding Standard: Dependencies ============ [](#dependencies) - [Twig Template Engine](https://twig.symfony.com) - [vlucas/phpdotenv](https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv) ### Health Score 43 — FairBetter than 90% of packages Maintenance55 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity78 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
