Lean Model View Controller
--------------------------

[](#lean-model-view-controller)

This project contains a very small MVC framework written with simple PHP classes. It's not for production use but for learning purpose. It's developed with the following boundary conditions:

- Just PHP - no external PHP libraries
- Convention over configuration
- No annotations or other stuff like that
- PSR-0 standard

Currently there is no documentation for anything.

How To
------

[](#how-to)

You have to change the .htaccess file if you want to try it

```
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/your/index.php?app-slug=$1 [L,QSA]

```

### Controllers and actions

[](#controllers-and-actions)

```
http:://host/base-path/controller/action/param1/param2

```

The URL above shows the controller & action with theirs params

```
http:://host/base-path/

```

is a special controller and a special action. In this case the controller is named Application and the action index()

```
http:://host/base_path/xyz

```

Here the controller is Xyz and the action is index()

```
http:://host/base_path/xyz/do

```

Again the controller is Xyz and the action is do()

To develop your own controller create a file with the same name like the class in the controllers directory

```
e.g. Accounts.php

```

Create a class as a descendant of class Controller

```
class Accounts extends \Scandio\lmvc\framework\Controller { }

```

Create a public static method named like the action you want to call

```
class Accounts extends \Scandio\lmvc\framework\Controller {

    public static function index() {
        print_r('ok');
    }

}

```

Try to call

```
http://host/base-path/accounts/

```

### Rendering views

[](#rendering-views)

Currently LMVC supports two rendering options. First the standard HTML rendering. Second the JSON output. The class Controller is having two static methods for that. All data that have to be passed to the template or to JSON must be set by setRenderArg().

Example for HTML rendering:

```
class Accounts extends Controller {

    public static function index() {
        return self::render()
    }

}

```

This renders the view (template) registeredViewPaths/controller/action.html. In this case views/accounts/index.html. To pass some data to the template you can...

```
class Accounts extends \Scandio\lmvc\framework\Controller {

    public static function index() {
        self::setRenderArg('name', 'John Doe');
        return self::render()
    }

}

```

or

```
class Accounts extends Controller {

    public static function index() {
        self::render(array('name' => 'John Doe'));
    }

}

```

or both. There is no specific template language. It's just PHP. Every render argument is accessible as a local variable.

```
Hello

```

Example for JSON rendering

```
class Accounts extends \Scandio\lmvc\framework\Controller {

    public static function index() {
        self::renderJson(array('name' => 'John Doe'));
    }

}

```

has an output like

```
{"name": "John Doe"}

```
