Monarch Web Framework

Monarch is an exploration of how simple and flexible a small PHP framework can be.

Its goal is to provide the minimum amount of tools and structure to help you create a web application, while providing a structure that is easy to understand and maintain.

Folder Structure

The following folders are used within Monarch:

app/
config/
myth/
public/
resources/
routes/
tests/

app/

The app/ folder is where you will place all of your application-specific code that are not a route file or associated control file. This is typically where you will place your models, libraries, and other classes.

config/

Contains all of the configuration files for your application.

myth/

This is the core of the Monarch framework. It contains all of the code that makes Monarch work.

public/

This is the web root of your application. It contains the index.php file that is the entry point for all requests.

resources/

This is where you can place all of your assets and language files.

routes/

This is where you will define all of the route files, templates, and controller logic.

tests/

This holds all of your application's tests.
