Yet Another MVC Website

A MVC web framework in production

To be written

What?

A to-be modular web framework with many tools and classes for the following:

• MySql
  • Includes bad legacy ORM from years back
• MongoDB
  • Well, more like shortcut classes - take care when using, since they're tailored towards my current application
• Application routing
  • I have no idea how this works - do not attempt to explain me, it will go bad
• Static Resource Management
  • Proud of it, although lacking... flexibility
  • Automatically minifies Js & Css, compiles LESS css, too
  • Hashed resource identifiers saved in files (see src/constant_map.php), so you can deploy multiple of these
• AJAX + jQuery
  • The design is perfectly suited - the javascript, too
• Bootstrap
  • Would work, see two or three points above
  • Static resource management would support this
  • Page generation with HTML classes etc, too
  • Had to be thrown out of the current application since it would have required a full design of the website layout
  • The commits for bootstrap aren't contained here, sorry
• Templating language optional
• BBCode too
  • Not proud of this
• Markup engines of several kinds coming soon
  • Maybe located in YamwLib

Dependencies

• MongoDB PHP Driver
• Composer - Although I'm that bad and included the vendor/ dir already in the repository
  • Modified Monolog to use my existing connection (just the interface to MongoDBHandler::__construct)
  • removed PHPUnit autoloader from Composer autoloader - it's for dev only (why do I have it included, anyway?)
  • added yamwlib dependency manually (composer.json entry should be correct)

Tools

• Phabricator: Note that you require a password - which I will only give to you if you desire to work on this or any projects related to this
  • Reason is that there are some other projects hosted on it, too, which aren't really supposed to be public
• Github - here: here

How-To

This isn't really finished yet, so wait a moment until this is done.

I develop this for a website, whose name I may not tell yet, which is integrated (not good) and pretty cluttered up with legacy code from 2-4 years back (even worse). I try my best to document this code though, as well as port it over to PHP-OO and a modular framework, so you can try your hands on this.
