[](#key-features)

### Plugin System

[](#plugin-system)

- **State Management**: Enable/disable plugins without code changes

### Routing System

[](#routing-system)

- **Modern Router**: Built on simp/router package for reliable request handling
- **Plugin Integration**: Automatically loads routes from all enabled plugins
- **Flexible Configuration**: Support for controllers, forms, and middleware
- **URL Generation**: Generate URLs from route names
- **Statistics**: Track route usage and performance

### Dependency Injection

[](#dependency-injection)

- **PHP-DI Integration**: Modern dependency injection container
- **Service Providers**: Organized service registration system

### Controller Base

[](#controller-base)

- **Standard Interface**: Consistent controller method signatures

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

1. **Install Dependencies**: Run `composer install` to get all required packages
2. **Configure Environment**: Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and update settings
3. **Create Plugin**: Add your functionality as a plugin in the `modules/` directory
4. **Define Routes**: Add routes in your plugin's `routing.yml` file
5. **Build Controllers**: Extend `ControllerBase` for your plugin logic

Plugin Structure
----------------

[](#plugin-structure)

Each plugin follows a simple structure:

```
modules/
└── your-plugin/
    ├── info.yml          # Plugin metadata
    ├── services.yml       # Plugin services
    ├── routing.yml        # Plugin routes
    └── src/
        ├── Controller/
        │   └── YourController.php
        └── Form/
            └── YourForm.php

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Pindrop uses environment variables for configuration:

- **APP\_ENV**: Application environment (development/production)
- **DEBUG**: Enable debug mode
- **TIMEZONE**: Application timezone
- **PLUGIN\_ROOT**: Path to plugins directory
- **CONFIG\_ROOT**: Path to configuration files

Architecture
------------

[](#architecture)
