README

SimpleFrame is a very slim framework intended to allow developers to write/use any code they want without limiting their options in any way, except the bare minimum required to make the framework itself work.

There is only ONE required file in the /app directory to make the site work, and that is routes.php. Technically it will work even without that, but it will just show a 404 page not found.

Testing

You can use the built-in PHP server to run the code. Just execute php -S localhost:8000 in the /public directory and open http://localhost:8000 in your browser. It works with pretty URLs, no need to prefix /index.php to your routes.

You can test almost any page (the exception being file uploads) in the terminal by going to the /public directory and executing php index.php METHOD ROUTE[ DATA], e.g. php index.php get / or php index.php post /abc foo=bar&bar[0]=baz. Redirects obviously won't work, and absolute URLs generated via the framework's router will be invalid, but aside from that, everything else will work the same.

At the time of writing this, the framework only relies on three $_SERVER variables, namely REQUEST_METHOD, REQUEST_URI and HTTP_REFERER. Absolute route generation will also use HTTPS and HTTP_HOST variables.

Alternatively, you can run custom console commands via php index.php command[ arguments].
