Juju-PHP
Eeems' PHP Framework
Concepts
PDO
Juju-PHP wraps the normal PDO class to make it do some magical things, like give you a Table class that you can use to make dropping/creating/modifying/accessing tables easier.
You can also use PDO to write migrations and have your application automatically upgrade it's database when a new migration is in place.
ORM
Piggybacking on top of the PDO concept, Juju-PHP also has an ORM framework that makes working with database data much easier. You no longer have to deal with the underlying sql queries, now you just need to modify a php class instance, tell it to commit it's changes and the data will magically save back to the correct tables. A similar concept is also applied to the has-many relationships configured.
Http
Juju-PHP provides a better interface for dealing with getting at the request information as well as the response data. There is also a helper class for working with URIs.
Events
Juju-PHP has an events trait that can be added to any class you create so that you can throw events that multiple points of code need to listen on. Fairly straight forward.
Data
Need an array that has a little bit of event magic on it? EArray has you covered. You can now get notified when this array-like class is modified and do something with that information. Do you need a place to store a password in memory but you don't really trust that something might not inspect your php programs memory and steal the password? Use a SecureString. It will store the string in an encrypted format and only give you the actual string representation when you need it.
Templates
Juju-PHP has a fairly powerful template engine that compiles the template into php code on the fly to irk out just a little bit more performance.
MVC-App
Juju-PHP has a loose MVC style. You can choose to use it as a MVC framework, or to use it without all that magic.
Here is some of the magic it includes:
- Routing of requests that does a lot of the heavy lifting for determining what code needs to run to render the result for a request.
- Controllers that will allow you to logically group your routes.
- Views that help you to render your templates with less work
- Settings access. Store your config in a single, or multiple files and easily get at the values with Settings::get('setting.name')
Hello World
use \Juju\App;
new App('Hello World', function($app){
$app->route('/hello', function($req, $res){
$res->write("Hello World!");
});
});
