Nano framework
==============

[](#nano-framework)

Nano is a teeny tiny framework that offers the bare minimum for you to create, for example, a very slim and super quick API.

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

[](#installation)

Installation can be done using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to download and install Nano framework as well as its dependencies.

```
composer require nano/framework

```

Building blocks
---------------

[](#building-blocks)

The Nano framework contains the following classes:

- `Nano\Container` - An IoC container for dependency injection
- `Nano\PipeLine` - A middleware bus
- `Nano\Router` - A router for defining endpoints

### Container

[](#container)

Using the container:

```
$container = new Container();

$container->bind('abstract', 'concrete');

$instance = $container->make('abstract');
```

Binding a callback:

```
$container->bind('abstract', function()
{
    return new Concrete('config');
});
```

Binding as a singleton:

```
$container->singleton('abstract', function()
{
    return new Concrete('config');
});
```

### PipeLine

[](#pipeline)

Using the PipeLine:

```
$pipe = $container->make('Nano\PipeLine');

$pipe->addMiddleare(['Middleware']);

$pipe->fire(function()
{
    return 'Hello world!';
}, $request);
```

Defining middleware:

```
class Middleware
{
    public function handle($request, $next)
    {
        // Do something with request

        $response = $next($request);

        // Do something with response

        return $response;
    }
}
```

### Router

[](#router)

Using the Router:

```
$router = $container->make('Nano\Router');

$router->addRoutes(['/home', 'Controller@index']);

echo $router->match($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
```

Defining a controller:

```
class Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return 'Hello world!';
    }
}
```

Route parameters:

```
$router->addRoutes(['/user/:id', 'Controller@user']);
```

Request methods:

```
$router->addRoutes([
    '/home', 'Controller@index', // defaults to GET
    'POST=/user/',
    'GET=/user/:id',
    'PUT=/user/:id',
    'DELETE=/user/:id'
]);
```
