All features can be called in the form **app()->featureName()**. Use IDE type hinting. - Modular and Events architecture - Theme slots configuration and Idiom strings are XML files (no programming skills required) Common features --------------- [](#common-features) Most features can be called in 1 line of code, ie. **app()->featureName()**. If you prefer to use functions style, there are also core functions aliases. Se below. - Multiple themes - Multiple idioms - Routes with PHP5 anonymous functions - Events for inter-module actions - Fluent Interface DB queries - supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite - Flash messages - Application logging - Input validation and sanitization - Generic views as shopping cart, anti-span input field, file upload, datepicker, pagination, breadcrumbs, carousel, line chart, tree view, file explorer, leaflet map, comment form, automatic table/form from database tables, image gallery, poll and text editor - More to come... This is an on-going work and there is not yet a stable version Theme Configuration without programming skills ---------------------------------------------- [](#theme-configuration-without-programming-skills) /theme/default/slots.xml ``` LoginNavView ``` Idiom configuration without programming skills ---------------------------------------------- [](#idiom-configuration-without-programming-skills) /idiom/en/default.xml ``` Architect PHP Framework ``` API usage examples ------------------ [](#api-usage-examples) All code has type hinting in ie. NetBeans IDE, so it's easy to start. ### ALIAS [](#alias) Architect framework is built using OOP but if you prefer to use functions code styling there are also core function aliases that may speed up development. The first letter gives an idea of what it does. Remember to use IDE type hinting to know how the alias works. app() - **App**lication. The main gate to access features conf() - **Conf**iguration item. Returns a configuration item view() - Returns the generic **view** factory help() - Returns the **help**er factory theme() - Loads a **theme** or returns current theme session() - Sets or gets a **session** item redirect() - Sends **location HTTP header** and save session before exit filter() - calls Input to **sanitize** an input param r() - **R**oute. Adds a new route c() - **C**ontent. Adds content to the default theme u() - **U**RL. Returns an internal URL. Use this to generate internal URLs m() - **M**essage. Adds a message to be shown to the user i() - Returns all **i**nput parameters or just one from GET/POST j() - **J**SON. Sets JSON output o() - **O**utput. Sets the application Output, ie. a View or plain text f() - **F**ILES. Returns a FILES entry by index q() - **Q**uery table. Returns a Table instance to start querying s() - **S**ecure. Returns a secured (encrypted) string e() - **E**vent. Adds a new event tr() - **TR**igger. Triggers the event v() - **V**iew. Creates a new view. You can pass a template file path l() - Layout. Creates a new layout - a view with layout slots operations ### APP [](#app) ``` app() // returns the application instance ``` ### ROUTER [](#router) ``` r('/my/path/(:any)', function ($param) { ... }); // Adds a route callback ``` ### THEME [](#theme) ``` c('Hello World!'); // Adds content to default theme ``` ### URL [](#url) ``` u('/demo', array('param1' => 'World')); // creates an URL ``` ### INPUT (GET / POST / RAW / FILES / CLI ARGS) [](#input-get--post--raw--files--cli-args) ``` i('username'); // returns $_GET['username'] or $_POST['username'] f(0); // returns $_FILES['file'] or $_FILES['file'][0] for multiple ``` ### EVENTS [](#events) ``` e('my.event.name', function($target) { ... }); // Register an event tr('my.event.name', $target); // Triggers an event and passes a variable ``` ### CORE EVENTS [](#core-events) There are core events that allows to change application workflow without changing the core system. These are: ``` 'arch.module.after.load' 'arch.database.load' 'arch.session.load' 'arch.theme.load' 'arch.action.before.call' 'arch.output.before.send' 'arch.session.save' 'arch.before.end' ``` ### IDIOM [](#idiom) ``` $i = help()->createIdiom(); // tries to find a default idiom by session or input $i->loadTranslation('filename', 'optional module name'); // loads a translation file $i->translate('key', array('key' => 'World')); // returns translated key in filename $i->t('TITLE'); // An alias to use in templates ``` ### SCREEN MESSAGES [](#screen-messages) ``` m('An error has occured', 'css class'); // Adds a flash message app()->flushMessages(); // Returns array. Remember to call flush in template ``` ### CAPTCHA [](#captcha) ``` $v = view()->createAntiSpam(); // returns an HTML antispam element $v->validate(); // validates antispam code (saved in session) ``` ### ENCRYPTION [](#encryption) ``` s('secure this string'); // returns an encrypted string (crypt) ``` ### REDIRECT [](#redirect) ``` redirect('http://www.google.com'); // redirects to an url ``` ### VALIDATION [](#validation) ``` $v = help()->createValidator(); $rules[] = $v->createRule('email', 'IsEmail', 'Invalid email message); $result = $v->validate($rules); // more rules at /src/Arch/Rule/ app()->getSession()->loadMessages($v->getMessages()); ``` ### HTTP [](#http) ``` $curl = help()->createCurl('http://google.com'); // gets a Curl helper $result = $curl->run(); // Gets the URL response $curl->closeConnection(); // Closes the cURL handler ``` ### FILE UPLOAD [](#file-upload) ``` $v = view()->createFileUpload(); // Creates an upload field $v->upload(f($index), '/var/www/architect/theme/data'); // uploads a file ``` ### DOWNLOAD [](#download) ``` $helper = help()->createDownload('/var/www/architect/theme/data/image.jpg'); $helper->execute(); // forces a file download ``` ### DATABASE [](#database) ``` q('user')->s()->w('id = ?', array(1))->run(); // select user where id = 1 q('user')->i(array('username' => 'admin'))->run(); // insert into user q('user')->u(array('username' => 'guest'))->w('id = ?', array(1))->run(); // update q('user')->d('id = ?', array(1))->run(); // delete from user where id = 1 q('user')->s('group.*')->j('usergroup', 'usergroup.id_group = group.id')->run(); // join ``` ### BREADCRUMBS VIEW [](#breadcrumbs-view) ``` view()->createBreadcrumbs(); // returns a breadcrumbs view ``` ### DATEPICKER VIEW [](#datepicker-view) ``` view()->createDatepicker(); // returns a date picker view ``` ### PAGINATION VIEW [](#pagination-view) ``` view()->createPagination(); // returns a pagination view ``` ### TEXT EDITOR VIEW [](#text-editor-view) ``` view()->createTexteditor(); // returns a text editor view ``` ### POLL VIEW [](#poll-view) ``` view()->createPoll(); // returns a poll view ``` ### LINE CHART VIEW [](#line-chart-view) ``` $data = array( array("x" => "2011 W27", "y" => 100), array("x" => "2011 W28", "y" => 500) ); $chart = view()->createLineChart() // returns a new line chart view ->set('data', $data) ->set('labels', array('Sells')); ``` ### TREE VIEW [](#tree-view) ``` view()->createTreeView(); ``` ### FILE EXPLORER VIEW [](#file-explorer-view) ``` $explorer = view()->createFileExplorer(); $explorer->setPath($path); ``` ### IMAGE GALLERY VIEW [](#image-gallery-view) ``` $gallery = view()->createImageGallery() ->setPath($path) ->setPathToUrl(conf('BASE_URL').$path); // relative url ``` ### MAP VIEW [](#map-view) ``` view()->createMap(); ``` ### CAROUSEL VIEW [](#carousel-view) ``` view()->createCarousel(); // returns a carousel view ``` ### COMMENT FORM VIEW [](#comment-form-view) ``` view()->createCommentForm(); // returns a comment form view ``` ### FILE UPLOAD VIEW [](#file-upload-view) ``` view()->createFileUpload(); // returns a file upload view ``` ### AUTO TABLE VIEW [](#auto-table-view) ``` $config = array( 'table' => 'demo_user', 'select' => 'demo_user.*', 'columns' => array( array('type' => 'value', 'label' => 'Email', 'property' => 'email'), array('type' => 'action', 'icon' => 'icon-edit', 'action' => u('/demo/crud/'), 'property' => 'id') ) ); $v = view()->createAutoTable(); // returns an html table view $v->configure($config, $db); $v->setPagination($pagination); ``` ### AUTO FORM VIEW [](#auto-form-view) ``` $config = array( 'table' => 'demo_user', 'select' => 'demo_user.*', 'action' => u('/demo/crud/save'), 'items' => array( array('type' => 'hidden', 'property' => 'id'), array('type' => 'label', 'label' => 'Email'), array('type' => 'text', 'property' => 'email'), array('type' => 'breakline'), array('type' => 'submit', 'label' => 'Save', 'class' => 'btn btn-success inline') ) ); $v = view()->createAutoForm(); // returns an html form view $v->configure($config, $db); ``` ROAD MAP (TODO) =============== [](#road-map-todo) January 2014 - Version 1.0.0-beta February 2014 - Version 1.0.0 ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 54% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity11 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability 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.
