Flex
====

[](#flex)

Flex is an ultra simple PHP framework, based on PSR-7 and Zend Diactoros. Routing is done by fast-route, although you are free to change it up.

It also features a basic middleware implementation and template system. And more to come in the future.

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Implement FirewallMiddleware
- Implement context (IoC container passed to middleware and controllers)
- Document Middleware & Loader classes
- Test Middleware & Loader & Template classes

```

Docker
------

Getting started with Flex (using Docker) is easy as 1, 2, 3. Just run:
