About Luxid

Luxid is a lightweight, modern PHP framework designed with simplicity and speed in mind. Built for developers who want full control over their application architecture, Luxid provides a clean routing system, a flexible screen rendering engine, and an elegant structure for building powerful applications in a custom architecture called SEA [Screen(View) - Entities(Models) - Actions(Controllers)]

Luxid focuses on:

• Clear and expressive routing
• Simple and intuitive actions (controllers)
• A lightweight screen/template engine (.nova.php)
• Easy request/response handling
• Minimal setup, maximum flexibility

Luxid removes the unnecessary complexity of large frameworks and gives developers a clean, enjoyable development experience.

Key Features

• Fast routing engine with support for GET/POST and callbacks
• Action-based controllers (cleaner than classical MVC)
• Simple .nova.php screen rendering system
• Framework-level request sanitization
• Extensible architecture
• Easily readable, elegant syntax
• Zero-dependency core (other than Composer autoloading)

Luxid is ideal for small-to-medium web apps, APIs, school management systems, dashboards, and learning modern PHP framework design.

Learning Luxid

Luxid includes clear documentation (coming soon) and is intentionally designed to be beginner-friendly for developers learning framework architecture.

A step-by-step guide and examples will be available soon in the /docs directory.

Until then, you can explore:

• The screens/ folder – UI screens
• The actions/ folder – controllers
• system/ – the framework core (Router, Request, Response, Action, etc.)
