Tempest
=======

[](#tempest)

 Tempest is a community-driven, modern PHP framework that gets out of your way and dares to think outside the box. Read the [documentation](https://tempestphp.com) to get started.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Tempest is a PHP framework that *gets out of your way*.

Its design philosophy is that developers should write as little framework-related code as possible, so that they can focus on application code instead.

Zero config, zero overhead. This is Tempest:

```
final class BookController
{
    #[Get('/books/{book}')]
    public function show(Book $book): Response
    {
        return new Ok($book);
    }

    #[Post('/books')]
    public function store(CreateBookRequest $request): Response
    {
        $book = map($request)->to(Book::class)->save();

        return new Redirect([self::class, 'show'], book: $book->id);
    }

    // …
}
```

```
final class MigrateUpCommand
{
    public function __construct(
        private Console $console,
        private MigrationManager $migrationManager,
    ) {}

    #[ConsoleCommand(
        name: 'migrate:up',
        description: 'Run all new migrations',
        middleware: [ForceMiddleware::class, CautionMiddleware::class],
    )]
    public function __invoke(): void
    {
        $this->migrationManager->up();

        $this->console->success("Everything migrated");
    }

    #[EventHandler]
    public function onMigrationMigrated(MigrationMigrated $migrationMigrated): void
    {
        $this->console->writeln("- {$migrationMigrated->name}");
    }
}
```
