It uses PDO for the model layer and Twig for the view layer. Also it depends of hassankhan/config library for load config files and the symfony/console package for the Sglim command line tool. Sglim can be extended adding few neccesary packages because Sglim goal is keep simple the Slim configuration. Why Sglim? ---------- [](#why-sglim) There are many Slim framework skeletons but i don't see neither that like me. So i have decided to build my own "MVC" skeleton for small/medium APIs and dynamic websites when you need speed and low complexity in your apps. Install ------- [](#install) All you need to install Sglim is Composer. Run the following command. ``` $ composer create-project "sglim/sglim":"dev-master" app-name ``` Run the application ------------------- [](#run-the-application) Go into the public folder inside the project folder and then ``` $ cd app-name/public # run the server $ php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 ``` Folders structure ----------------- [](#folders-structure) Sglim uses different folders to organize your project based in other frameworks structure. - **App**, where is hosted main application folders as *Models*, *Views*, *Routes*, *Api* and Middlewares. - **config**, where you can find two configuration files: *config\_development* and *config\_production*. Both cantains database and Slim configuration and you can also set your Facebook, Twitter and other app secret keys. - **public**. The folder where are all application frontend files. - **storage**. Storage contains all rendered all Twig views(cache) and log files. Command line ------------ [](#command-line) Sglim allows you many shortcuts to make things fast. Right now there are 3 main commands: **Generate a new route file** if the route doesn't exist. ``` $ php sglim make:route route-name ``` **Generate a new model** ``` $ php sglim make:model model-name ``` **Generate a new view** HTML5 file ``` $ php sglim make:view view-name ``` FAQ / Contact ------------- [](#faq--contact) **Question 1**: Can i use an ORM instead of PDO extension? *Yes, you can. I tried using Eloquent(Lavel ORM) and i had to do minor changes in the index.php file. Only i had to add a charset option in the configuration file but it works properly. It is pretty simple and if you love ORMs you can mix Sglim with the ORM that you want.* **Question 2**: Why doesn't Sglim include all Slim package like [Slim-Csrf](https://github.com/slimphp/Slim-Csrf)? *Because the Sglim idea is to keep it simple. But maybe in future commits i will set them to Sglim package* You can contact with me through Twitter([@Siro\_Diaz](https://twitter.com/siro_diaz)) or email me <[siro\_diaz@yahoo.com](mailto:siro_diaz@yahoo.com)> ### Health Score 21 — LowBetter than 19% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity8 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record 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.
