Symbiotic Micro (BETA EDITION)
==============================

[](#symbiotic-micro-beta-edition)

**The package is not recommended to be installed for use, it is for developers of micro applications!**

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require symbiotic/micro

```

Description
-----------

[](#description)

The basic core of the framework, the assembly is isolated from the [full version of the framework](https://github.com/symbiotic-php/full/)to compile applications into a single file. At the moment, the application compiler has not yet been written, but such an opportunity is planned.

Use the full version: !

```
composer require symbiotic/full

```

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
$basePath = dirname(__DIR__);// root folder of the project

include_once $basePath. '/vendor/autoload.php';

$config = include $basePath.'/vendor/symbiotic/micro/src/config.sample.php';

//.. Redefining the configuration array

// Basic construction of the Core container
$core = new \Symbiotic\Core\Core($config);

// Starting request processing
$core->run();

// Then the initialization code and the work of another framework can go on when the symbiosis mode is enabled...
// $laravel->handle();
```
