Its focus is on allowing developers to build enterprise ready applications that are fast, scale well, allow for architectural rethinks late in the project and that maximise the potential for code reuse. Projects and Modules -------------------- [](#projects-and-modules) Rhubarb is a modular system. Your application only brings in the modules it needs. So if you're building an API you will use the RestAPI module but not the MVP module. This keeps the burden on autoloaders down and makes your application easier to deploy and maintain. The main framework resides in the `rhubarb` project. This includes the platform bootstraps and a core set of classes called 'Crown'. Rhubarb uses Composer to import additional packages into the solution including it's own modules. To keep our github organisation tidy other Rhubarb modules reside in projects called `module.[modulename]`. For example `module.modelling` or `module.sendgrid` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Rhubarb is an open source project and as such anyone may make a contribution. Contributions can be made by forking any of the rhubarb projects and making a pull request back to the base fork. Rhubarb has a list of senior contributors who guard and protect the values of Rhubarb and make the final decision on the merits of each pull request. ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance33 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity41 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community39 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity86 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 72.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~40 days Recently: every ~10 days Total 98 Last Release 218d ago Major Versions v0.9 → 1.0.02016-04-14 1.7.7 → 2.0.02024-01-17 PHP version history (2 changes)1.0.0PHP >=5.6.0 2.0.0PHP >=8.0.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/ec417b24a084689d7cb17846a9fed926af0c95f14caf581b89f7fdc2c73e7316?d=identicon)[NiallSmyth](/maintainers/NiallSmyth) ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/8905301607df4f73893d5b665c97b959572bc9394a5ff3c9f5907de6531aad6d?d=identicon)[acuthbert](/maintainers/acuthbert) --- Top Contributors [![acuthbert](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/408400?v=4)](https://github.com/acuthbert "acuthbert (317 commits)")[![samnotsowise](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2360744?v=4)](https://github.com/samnotsowise "samnotsowise (37 commits)")[![NiallSmyth](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/209378?v=4)](https://github.com/NiallSmyth "NiallSmyth (21 commits)")[![aparnhamGCD](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/26407795?v=4)](https://github.com/aparnhamGCD "aparnhamGCD (16 commits)")[![mballantinegcd](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/91612807?v=4)](https://github.com/mballantinegcd "mballantinegcd (12 commits)")[![miscampbell](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3660489?v=4)](https://github.com/miscampbell "miscampbell (7 commits)")[![fpolanzanGCD](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9929916?v=4)](https://github.com/fpolanzanGCD "fpolanzanGCD (6 commits)")[![simongough](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2347493?v=4)](https://github.com/simongough "simongough (4 commits)")[![jandersongcdtech](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/19905328?v=4)](https://github.com/jandersongcdtech "jandersongcdtech (4 commits)")[![codoherty](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5584720?v=4)](https://github.com/codoherty "codoherty (4 commits)")[![scottmcmurray](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/194180?v=4)](https://github.com/scottmcmurray "scottmcmurray (2 commits)")[![gdalrymple](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2347508?v=4)](https://github.com/gdalrymple "gdalrymple (2 commits)")[![cstevenson-gcdtech](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5584826?v=4)](https://github.com/cstevenson-gcdtech "cstevenson-gcdtech (2 commits)")[![wmccoubrey](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/28304035?v=4)](https://github.com/wmccoubrey "wmccoubrey (1 commits)")[![catherineGCD](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4903598?v=4)](https://github.com/catherineGCD "catherineGCD (1 commits)")[![smcgarrity](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/30289236?v=4)](https://github.com/smcgarrity "smcgarrity (1 commits)")[![whamey](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/111296723?v=4)](https://github.com/whamey "whamey (1 commits)") --- Tags phpframework ### Code Quality TestsCodeception ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/rhubarbphp-rhubarb/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/rhubarbphp-rhubarb/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/rhubarbphp-rhubarb) ``` ### Alternatives [laravel/framework The Laravel Framework. 34.8k543.8M20.1k](/packages/laravel-framework)[symfony/symfony The Symfony PHP framework 31.4k87.2M2.2k](/packages/symfony-symfony)[typo3/cms TYPO3 CMS is a free open source Content Management Framework initially created by Kasper Skaarhoj and licensed under GNU/GPL. 1.2k1.9M122](/packages/typo3-cms)[civicrm/civicrm-core Open source constituent relationship management for non-profits, NGOs and advocacy organizations. 751291.4k43](/packages/civicrm-civicrm-core)[typo3/cms-core TYPO3 CMS Core 3713.2M5.1k](/packages/typo3-cms-core)[hunzhiwange/framework The QueryPHP Framework. 6315.9k2](/packages/hunzhiwange-framework) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
