A component based PHP Framework.
To install use composer create project command:
composer create-project fernet/fernet /path/to/app
You can use the php built in server to run the app:
php -S 127.0.0.1:14567 -t public
Then go to 127.0.0.1:14567.
Fernet component are inspired by React component. They are a PHP class with a __toString method that returns the HTML the component will render. The class needs to be created in the src/Component/ folder. The namespace should be App\Component. Let's create a simple component that said Hi.
src/Component/Hello.php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Component;
class Hello
{
public string $name;
public function __toString(): string
{
return "<p>Hi {$this->name}!</p>";
}
}To use this new component go to the file src/Component/App.php and use it like a custom HTML tag.
// There are more code here, let's focus only on the toString method
public function __toString(): string
{
\ob_start(); ?>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<p>Check out this very original example</p>
<Hello name="World" />
</body>
</html><?php
return \ob_get_clean();
} The functions ob_start and ob_get_clean are used to get the printed code. We used this trick when we have a lot of HTML to render. Like many other things used in Fernet this is PHP native. The rest of course is old plain HTML.
