No node, no templates, no build step, no vendor bloat.

No build step. Just PHP.', 'info')), ) ->response(); ``` No `.blade`, no webpack, no `package.json`. The component renders themed, responsive HTML with transitions, dark/light mode and i18n built in. What's in the box ----------------- [](#whats-in-the-box) **46+ UI components**Cards, tables, forms, charts, modals, drawers, tabs… pure PHP, theme-aware, `->color()` any of them**Secure by default**Auth-by-default `/admin`, CSRF, secure session cookies, security headers, AES-256, hashing — out of the box**ORM + migrations**ActiveRecord, query builder, relations, eager loading, seeders, factories**Search engine**Zero-dependency inverted index, `Searchable` models, a searchable `UI::combobox`**Real-time messaging**In-admin user-to-user chat (`UI::chat`) — 1:1 & group channels, WebSocket or polling**Browser notifications**Desktop notifications **with sound** (synthesized, zero-asset) from any `$user->notify()`**Admin panel**`/admin` with menu, widgets, DB browser, SQL console, one-click updates**Fast in production**opcache preload, route/config cache, a UI asset compiler — `php sofy optimize`**One-command deploy**`sudo php sofy full-install` provisions a whole Linux box; services run under systemd**Rich CLI**Scaffolding, migrations, queue, scheduler, REPL, service management**Modules & marketplace**Drop a folder in `modules/`, install from a catalog**Tested**PHPUnit core suite — `composer test`Quick start ----------- [](#quick-start) ``` composer create-project sofyphp/framework my-app # or: git clone … && composer install cd my-app cp .env.example .env php sofy key:generate php sofy migrate php sofy admin:create # interactive admin user php -S localhost:8000 -t public ``` Open — visit `/admin` (login at `/admin/login`), the live component reference at `/ui-demo`, and the docs at `/docs`. ``` // routes/web.php $router->get('/hello/{name}', fn(Request $r, string $name): Response => UI::page("Hello, $name!") ->add(UI::hero("Hello, $name!", 'Welcome to Sofy.') ->action(UI::button('Get started', '/docs', 'primary'))) ->response() ); ``` Production in one command ------------------------- [](#production-in-one-command) ``` sudo php sofy full-install # interactive: domain, PHP, web server, SSL, DB, services ``` The wizard installs PHP + extensions, your web server (**Caddy** / Nginx / Apache) with HTTPS, the database, sets permissions, runs migrations, and brings up **background services under systemd** — queue worker, WebSocket server and Redis — so the box comes up fully running. Add or manage them anytime: ``` sudo php sofy service:install all # redis + ws + queue + scheduler php sofy service:status ``` Then squeeze out the throughput: ``` php sofy optimize # route + config cache + opcache preload php sofy ui:build # extract CSS/JS into cached static assets ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - **PHP 8.3+** · extensions: `pdo`, `curl`, `mbstring`, `openssl`, `fileinfo`, `simplexml` - Optional: `redis` (cache/session/broadcast), `pcntl` (WebSocket graceful shutdown) - Production installer: Linux + root Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Full docs in [`docs/`](docs/) (browsable in-app at `/docs`): [Getting started](docs/01-getting-started.md) · [Routing](docs/02-routing.md) · [Views & UI](docs/04-views.md) · [Database](docs/05-database.md) · [Auth](docs/06-auth.md) · [Performance](docs/16-performance.md) · [Search](docs/17-search.md) · [Messenger](docs/18-messenger.md) · [Notifications](docs/19-notifications.md) Release notes: [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) (also at `/admin/system/update`).
