Model-View-Controller web server. Simple yet powerful, built in PHP
- Clone (or fork) this repo to your terminal
git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/genesis.git- Rename (or copy) the config.example.ini file as config.ini
cd genesis
mv config.example.ini config.ini-
Add your local configuration
-
Run Composer (global composer)
composer startCreate a route to point out what action you want to perform to the web server
Open the file src/Http/Routes.php
We are returning an array of routes assigned either to a Closure function or to a named method in a Controller
/**
* src/Http/Routes.php
* Route defined as an array
*/
[
'method' => 'get',
'name' => 'index',
'path' => '/',
'handler' => function () {
/**
* This code will be executed when receiving
* a 'get' http request pointing to the
* url '/' get
*/
echo "Hello World";
}
]This will be the output
You can call the Response::view method to return a view file from the src/Views folder named as a the only parameter in the method
/**
* src/Http/Routes.php
* Route calling a handler returning a view
*/
return [
[
'method' => 'get',
'name' => 'index',
'path' => '/',
'handler' => function () {
/**
* The view method in \App\Http\Response, takes a view name
* as required argument and search for that file
* in the \src\Views folder, and any optional
* parameter can be passed by in the
* second argument array
*/
\App\Http\Response::view('hello-world', ['name' => 'Jhon Doe']);
}
]
];The file src/Views/hello-world.php will be returned to the screen and the name variable will be injected to the view
You can also define a Controller to handle all the logic for an entry point, say '/shops'.
Create a file at the Controllers folder (default is src/Http/Controllers) and define a static method, which name will be requested in the Routes.php file in the next format {ControllerName}@{Controller Method}, e.g.:
/**
* src/Http/Routes.php
*/
$controllerNamespace = 'App\Http\Controllers\\';
return [
[
'method' => 'get',
'name' => 'controllerIndex',
'path' => '/controllerIndex',
'handler' => $controllerNamespace.'ShopController@products'
]
];/**
* src/Http/Controllers/ShopController.php
*/
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Http\Response;
use App\Acme;
class ShopController
{
public static function products()
{
/**
* Basic controller method implementation
*
* Returns a content
*/
$products = Acme::getProducts();
return Response::view('shops/products', ["products" => $products]);
}
}This way you will be encapsulating the business logic in that controllers file, and you can call your Models from here to feed the views with information
