Modular

Modular (Skeleton for a modular PHP web applications base on MVC pattern with Vite for auto web refresh, and Tailwindcss for a modern design)

This framework is tailor over MVC pattern principals, in order to bring a efficient, easy to develop and modular applications; the framework application contains embedded base modules to have an example to work with, classes to resolve queries, build SQL queries, responses and views renderization in order to have a modular web application, api rest, or service with a less programing code.

To use this application, you need PHP, JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, Object Oriented Programing, server configuration, Git work flow basis (or higher) knowledge, download this repository, install all dependencies, configure the server to always resolve to "public/index.php". see apache .htaccess configuration for guidance. Also this application has a ".htaccess" file in it to make this easy.

Prerequisites

• PHP 8.1 or higher (8.1.7 recommended)
• MariaDB 8 or higher, or MySQL in its defect
• Had installed and activated this modules: php_curl, pdo, mod_rewrite
• A compatible Composer with PHP 8 (to use PHP 7 to install, update the composer.json to make it so)
• Node.js 18 or higher
• Git updated

Getting the Project

To get the project, you can clone or fork this repository, install dependencies using Composer and NPM (you can use Yarn or bun if you want). Configure your server to resolve any request to "public/index.php"

NOTE: Add "AllowOverride All" to allow the overriding to your server configuration.

Configuring the Project

Make sure you have a .env file in your "configs/" application directory, if you does not had one, copy the ".env.example" file and rename it to ".env". Also make this with "config.json.example" file too.

Add your database configuration to the ".env" file, your application and company configuration to the "config.json" file and we are ready to go.

• PHP
• HTML5

Server Request

URI: [/{module}/{controller}/{method}]

{
    "params": "array() | string | int"
}

Request example:

POST: [/{module}/{controller}/{method}/{params}]

GET: [/{module}/{controller}/{method}/{params}]

URL: http://server/{module}/{controller}/{method}/{params} the params can be string [{param1}/{param2}] "producto=algodon/date=12-16-05/date2=10-05-01" o [?{key=value}&{key=value}] "?producto=albondiga"

URL Format:

• module/ (When controller has the same name of the module, this resolve: method read in a controller with the same module name)
• module/method/ (When you know the method name and the controller has the same name of the module, this resolve: a method in a controller with the same module name)
• module/method?param1&param2 (When you have parameters and you know the method name and the controller has the same name of the module, this resolve: parameters for a method in a controller with the same module name)
• module/controller/method/param1/param2 (When you pass all parameters as URI, this resolve: parameters for a method in a controller in a module)
• module/controller/method?param1=value1&param2=value2(When you pass all parameters as URL, this resolve: params for a method in a controller in a module)

Server Response

The response from server will be a rendered view by the template engine configured in the .env file (Smarty, twig, self) or a JSON string to be consume by a frontend framework like vue, react, astro, etc.

The response will be always at this format php ['view'=>"",'content'=[]]; for engine consumption, json {status:200,message:"ok",data:[]}; for frontend consumption.

Response types

All response has a "header", "body","footer" format, those can be a plain text, an array with additional information, according with the controller response.

If the response is a message, the schema could be:

$response = [
    'head' => [
        'style' => [
            'title' => [
                'icon'  => "",
                'text'  => ""
                'color' => "",
            ]
        ],
        'text' => [
            'color' => "",
            'title' => ""
        ]
    ],
    'body' => [
        'breadcrumb' => [
            'main' => "",
            'routes' => [
                ['module' => "",
                'controller' => "",
                'method' => "",
                'params' => ""],
            ],
        ],
        'content' => [
                'mensaje' => "",
                'extra'   => "" | []
        ]
    ],
    'foot' => []
];

If message is a band to be displayed, the schema could be:

$response = [
    'head' => [
        'title' => [
            'color' => "",
            'icon'  => "",
            'text'  => ""
        ],
    ],
    'body'=>[
        'message' => [
            'type'   => "",
            'text'   => "", | []
            'extra'  => ""
            'header' => [
                'icon'  => "",
                'title' => "",
                'text'  => ""
            ],
        ]
    ],
    'foot'=>[]
];

All views have a general information for the main layout, this consist in "head","css","js","icons","navbar","sidebar", "footer","app configs" if you want to use a different one you can make your own structure inside the module as a helper to be call any time a view is has to be render.

View Data Structure Example

$response = [
    'content' => [], //where the content for the body will be
    'layout' => [
        'head' => [
            'template' => "template_name.tpl",
            'data' => [
                ['meta_name' => "", 'meta_content' => ""],
            ],
            'css' => ['<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="\assets\css\style.css">']
        ],
        'body' => ['layout' => '', 'darkmode' => ''],
        'footer' => [
            'tempalate' => "template_name.tpl",
            'data' => []
        ],
        'navbar' => [
            'template' => "template_name.tpl",
            'data' => []
        ],
        'sidebar' => [
            'template' => "template_name.tpl",
            'data' => []
        ],
        'jslibs'=>['<script type="" src=""></script>',...]
        'scripts' => '<script></script>' // An script to be use at the beginning of the DOM
    ]
];
