README

A simple PHP framework for creating websites and/or web APIs.

It supports routing of HTTP requests with methods GET, POST, PUT and DELETE. Other things too... maybe one day I'll make a doc for it.

Main concepts:

This section is pretty much just a placeholder.

• Application: A global container for all application data. Is also a Router itself (aka: main application router).
• VirtualPath: An extended path that can contain variables, options and aliases.
• Router: An object that contains Routes and is mounted to a VirtualPath. You can have as many as you want.
• Route: An object created by a Router and mounted onto it.
• StatusEvent: An event that is triggered when certain HTTP statuses are encountered.
• Request: A predefined object that contains information about the requested resource.
• Response: A predefined object that contains information about the response to be sent.
• Handler: A user defined callable that accepts Request and Response as parameters. It can be assigned to a Route or a StatusEvent.

Example code:

This code creates a Route that will listen for a request using HTTP method GET.

$app = Sonet\Application::getApp();

$app->get('hello|h/?name', function ($req, $res) {
	$name = $req->params->name ?? 'world';
	$res->html("Hello, $name!");
});

$app->run();

This VirtualPath corresponds to:

• /hello
• /hello/([^/]+)
• /h
• /h/([^/]+)

For example,

• /hello will generate "Hello, world!"
• /h/Einstein will generate "Hello, Einstein!"
