Its a simple framework, inspired by laravel. I am currently working on it, hope it will be completed soon.

I have added bootstrap css files already under assets folder. You just need to create template for your new project.

Installation:

• Create folder for new project and add path in vhosts.
• Placed downloaded code in newly created folder.
• Make sure to edit following file: "src\config\app.php" and update base_url variable with the server address you have added in vhosts
• Hit url in browser. If it says 'Welcome', then you have successfully configure frawq on your machine.

Help: I have created sample IndexController, it contains few actions to help you in your development. Added few Views to show how views works.

To understand the life cycle of framework. Following steps will be helpfull

• Start with the file 'src/config/routes.php', you will see index '/' that means HOME page identifier. This index will tell which action to trigger. That action will tell which view to render.

• Index '/' in route file has an array value. That array contains 'uses' index. This will tell which action of particular Controller is to call. e.g 'uses' => '\Controller\IndexController@index'

Let me explain you how it works. Divide the 'uses' value on the basis of @. Then it has two parts, first: '\Controller\IndexController' and second: 'index'. First part is the path to the Controller and second part is the action within that controller file.

Directory Structure:

• src

  • config

    • app.php // Assign complete base url of your new site to base_url. You can access the $base_url variable any where in views // e.g assets/js/some.js

    • database.php // Add database information in this file

    • filters.php // Filters can be added here. Need to create a static function here, they called under routes.php under 'before' index // '/' => array('uses' => '\Controllers\IndexController@index', 'before' => 'isLoggedIn'),

    • languages.php // for multilingual you can use this file. But currently its functionality is not implemented yet

    • routes.php // that is the heart of frawq. It contains pure logic of request manipulation. All you have to create a route and link to // the controller that will entertain this request. // e.g '/' => array('uses' => '\Controllers\IndexController@index', 'before' => 'isLoggedIn') // '/' => is the URI // array contains the linked controller, also the filter if any applied

  • controllers // this folder will contains all your controller. // Make sure you have extends your controller from \System\Controller // I have created a sample Controller under this, you can get basic information from it

  • Models // This folder will contain main business logic and table related stuff // I have created a sample Model under this, you can get basic information from it

  • System // This folder is the backbone of the framework. Don't change any thing under it, untill you understand the framework flow

  • Views // This folder will contain html templates to create layout of site. // I have created some views for testing purpose.

• assets

  • js
  • css
  • images // In order to add JS/CSS or any JS plugins use 'assets' folder.
