Mvc Lite

Introduction

mvc-lite is a lightweight MVC Framework aimed at accomplishing common MVC goals in a much lighter package. The bulk of this work is inspired by the Zend Framework (http://framework.zend.com)

Usage

This library should be used to create a simple MVC application. If you need sophisticated application handling, consider a more robust framework, like Zend Framework, Laravel, or Symfony.

Quick Start

The mvc script can be used to help start an application quickly. It's usage is:

./bin/mvc setup --target=/local/path/to/app

Once created, adding an entire resources (i.e. Users) can be done like this:

./bin/mvc resource:create --target=/local/path/to/app --name=users

Documentation

Traits

There are a list of traits available as well. This allows for simple access to commonly used classes (i.e. Request, Config, Session). Including them in your code is as simple as:

use MvcLite\Traits\Session as SessionTrait;

Configuration

An application configuration file allows for easy configuration of the application. You can modify that file at etc/app.ini

Same Code, Multiple Formats

Multiple formats are supported for each endpoint as well. Switching the Content-Type header in the response will return a corresponding output. Caveat: There is a naming scheme to views

<script-name>.<format>.php

Where <script-name> is the name of the script being used, and <format> is the requested format. The following are the supported formats for the framework:

• html
• xml
• json

View Helpers

By default, view helpers generate bootstrap-friendly markup. We love Bootstrap, and we think you should too! The view helpers are overridable however. Simply Create App\View\Helper\<HelperName> and it's render method will be used instead.
