🌮 Taco PHP

• Extremely lightweight and super easy to use
• Flexible setup. Want to change folder structure? You can have things your way
• Made for that small/medium appetite, but also scalable for larger things
• Comes with included super-basic auth setup, with one login controlled from .env file. You can extended this setup if you want to build something larger.
• Easy database handling with query builder.
• Use crisp blade templates if you want to. Or just use basic PHP templates.
• Comes with a basic frontend setup you can scrap or extend upon.
• Used in production for several projects

🎖️ Features

• Flexible URL routing that can lead to handlers, controllers or directly to views
• Controllers, views and helper methods
• Database query builder (FluentPDO)
• Loads composer packages if you want to
• Loads .env file if you want to

🛠️ Config

The index.php contains your config. Here you can enable composer and .env if you want. (´composer require vlucas/phpdotenv´)

🚸 Routing and controllers/views

• You setup routes. They can refer to controllers, views or method handlers.
• You can use normal PHP views, or Laravel blade views. For laravel Blade we are using the standalone Blade package (jenssegers/blade)
• For blade views use load_blade_view('viewfile', ['name'='johndoe']) for php views use load_view('viewfile',['name'='johndoe'])

🗃️ Database

If you want to play with a database, enable composer and load in envms/fluentpdo (´composer require envms/fluentpdo´)

Database

• If you want to play with a database, we got the nicest query builder in town ready to play with
• Using PDOx query builder, loaded via composer. Docs: https://github.com/izniburak/PDOx/blob/master/DOCS.md

Local dev: Serve solution

Serve up some hot tacos by running:

$ php -S localhost:8000

📙 Documentation

• Coming soon. For now, look inside taco.php for reference. The code explains itself — don't we all just love the code-as-docs approach? :D

🎛️ Methods

• Look inside the taco.php file to see available methods provided
• Look inside the helpers.php file to see available methods provided.
• If you want to add your own per project, do it to helpers.php

🛣️ Roadmap (todo)

• wrap library into a class
• make it work with or without
  • env file (just load stuff into the construct func)
  • composer
  • router, controller, view (not always necessary)
• make function: is route()
• make function: is_controller() and is_view()
• Perhaps a custom debug log, ala simple debugbar, to be shown somewhere. Can be method invoked, eg.
  and and with a list of all sql commands called
• Cleanup helpers so it is almost empty, and all else is in taco.php
