📝 Quick Start

Routing

use Core\Router;

// Basic route
Router::get('/', function() {
    return 'Hello World';
});

// Route with parameter
Router::get('/user/{id}', function($param) {
    return 'User ID - ' . $param['id'];
});

// Route with controller
Router::get('/home', App\Controller\HomeController::class, 'method');

Database Querying

$db = Core\Database::getInstance();
// or: $db = new Alkane\Database(?$custom_connection_name);

$sql = new Core\SqlQuery($db);
$sql->select(['ID', 'name', 'email'])
    ->from('table')
    ->where('ID = :id', ['id' => 20]);

$result = $sql->exec();
print_r($result->fetch(Core\SqlQuery::FETCH_ASSOC));

Session Management

Core\SessionController::set('mail.smtp.host', 'smtp.gmail.com');
Core\SessionController::set('mail.smtp.user', 'user@gmail.com');
Core\SessionController::set('mail.smtp.password', 'your_password');

// Retrieve session data
print_r(Core\SessionController::get('mail.smtp'));

/* Output:
Array (
    [host] => smtp.gmail.com
    [user] => user@gmail.com
    [password] => your_password
)
*/
