README

Silex is great micro-framework, but it's sometimes just too simple. Fatso is his fat cousin.
It provides very simple, basic classes and automates few things.

Fatso can:

• detect environment based on host name
• load config files (plain PHP arrays, or YAML) and merge thme with their env variants
• perform simple bootstrap of Silex providers
• load routes from config file

Fatso is ugly.

Fast class overview

TL;DR - goto: demo

Config

Config loads files from $app['config.dir'] path.
It also uses env name to merge basic config with it's env variant.

Config can load PHP, or YML files.

Example:

config/foo.yml:

foo:
	name: bar
	env: null

config/foo_dev.php:

<?php
return array(
  'foo' => array(
    'env' => 'dev',
  ),
);

$config = $app['config']->get('foo');
/*
$config = array(
  'foo' => array(
    'name' => 'bar',
    'env' => 'dev',
  ),
);
 */

Env

Performs simple environment detection based on host name.
Before running env variable $app['env.host'] must be set.

$app['env']->get(); // return current env name or NULL if not detected
$app['env']->getEnvironments(); // returns list of declared environments.

Environments are defined in config file named env:

dev: /\.local\.com$/
prod: //

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is responsible for env detection, Silex providers registration and route registration.

Routes are defined in config file named routing:

<?php
return array(
  'main' => array(
    'pattern' => '/',
    'controller' => 'App:Main:index', // resolves to: \App\Controller\Main::index
    'method' => 'get', // can be set to: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, or MATCH. Default is GET
  ),
);

To register some providers in config dir must be created folder named bootstrap with providers config files.

Sample provider config file:

\Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider:
  twig.path: 'view/'
