Features

• Nice autoloading of classes
• Plugin system (loaded before routing is done)
• Controllers and basic views
• Default routing of URLs to controllers
• Custom routing, including parameters
• A configuration store (config())
• Helpers (helper classes, like Kohana)

Getting started

• git clone [email protected]/dave1010/shmvc.git
• Edit ./App/Controller.php
• Edit ./config/routes.php

Folder structure

App - your models, controllers and views
config
    routes.php
plugins
public - js/css/images
Shmvc - system files
index.php - single bootsrap file

Plugins

Plugins are similar to WordPress plugins. All .php files in the plugins folder are automatically included. They are loaded after the autoloader is set up (so they can use any class) but before any URL routing is done.

Plugins can either hook into actions:

Shmvcadd_action('hook_name', 'my_plugin_action');

Or filter variables:

Shmvcadd_filter('hook_name', 'my_plugin_filter', $variable);

Helpers

Helpers are normal classes that are used from a models/views/controllers, similar to Kohana helpers. E.g.

echo ShmvcHelperText::escape('>');

Or import the helper's namespace first:

use ShmvcHelperText;
echo Text::escape('>');

TODO

• Hierachial views: Go up view folder structure to get parent (container views)
• Make sub-requests work nicely (the H in HMVC)
• Filters
• DB class
• ORM class
• Models extending from ORM
• Demo plugins (e.g. caching)
• Demo app
• Documentation
