Ready-to-use starter template for ApnaPHP Framework - A modern PHP framework inspired by Next.js App Router and Laravel.
- File-based Routing: Next.js App Router style routing with
.apna.phpfiles - Laravel-like ORM: Eloquent-inspired models with schema definition
- Multiple Database Support: MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQLite
- Auto-migration: Automatic schema creation from model definitions
- Middleware Support: Hierarchical middleware system
- Console Commands: Built-in CLI with
php apna serve - Modern PHP: PHP 8.1+ with modern syntax and features

Create routes by adding .apna.php files:
API Routes (app/api/*/route.apna.php):
<?php
use ApnaPHP\Routing\Request;
use ApnaPHP\Routing\Response;
class UsersHandler
{
public function GET(Request $request)
{
return Response::json(['users' => User::all()]);
}
public function POST(Request $request)
{
$user = User::create($request->all());
return Response::json($user, 201);
}
}Page Routes (app/*/page.apna.php):
<?php
$users = User::all();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Users</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Users</h1>
<?php foreach ($users as $user): ?>
<div><?= $user->name ?></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</body>
</html><?php
