Simple MVC boilerplate with composer autoload and Symfony routing component.
Composer is needed so as to use this MVC. If you do not have it please install it.
By default, I added compatibility with MySQL, PostreSQL and MongoDB.
If you need MongoDB, please make sure you have it correctly installed along with php extension. Otherswise composer installation will fail.
If you do not need MongoDB just remove mongodb entry from composer.json file.
Now you may install the dependencies by doing:
$ composer install
You will find some config example files that will need to be renamed:
app/config/config.example.php -> app/config/config.php
public/.htaccess.example -> public/.htaccess
config.php needs to be filled properly if you need to have access to any or all of the databases that are allowed.
.htaccess config file for Apache should be ok by default if using public/ dir as the site root. Otherwise simply update RewriteBase to your site root.
Make sure app/cache is writable by the web server.
Symfony routing component is used to handle the MVC routes. YAML config is used in app/config/routes.yml and you may check out the docs on how it works https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/routing.html
There is some simple and typical Hello World demo code already included. In order to make it work you need to provide MySQL and/or MongoDB access data in config files as described above. You will also need the code below and insert it in the proper database:
MySQL demo code:
CREATE SCHEMA `test` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 ;
CREATE TABLE `test`.`messages` (
`id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`message` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);
INSERT INTO `test`.`messages` (`message`) VALUES ('Hello World from MySQL');
MongoDB demo code from mongo cli:
$ mongo
> use test
> db.myCollection.insert({"message": "Hello World from MongoDB"})
You may run the MVC for testing with built-in server. This assumes you are executing this command from MVC root and set public/ as the root site.
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 -t public/
