Dockerized Pure PHP Composer based MVC Framework

This project tries to cover some PHP features in a simple MVC structure with minimum installed composer packages. Then developers can use packages for specific requirements. Please add your ideas in Discussions, ask features or report bugs in issues.

Features:

List of features related with structure

• public Contains the index.php file, to start application and configures auto-loading. Different server configurations added into this directory too. Finally, you can find the Sitemap generator that runs after creation or updating a post.
• public/assets Assets can contain your media files like images, audios & videos.
• public/css & public/js Contains the styles & scripts (After changes on these files, you can use minifier script to update minified versions, just run docker-compose exec php-mvc-app php minifier.php)
• public/feed There is a RSS generator in here and runs after creation or updating a post.
• grpc A simple router for distribute the requests to different services. It is not working yet and I created an issue for it ⚠ and if you have an idea or a solution, only by PHP for both server and client sides, please add your solution in there.
• websocket A WebSocket sample. You can open /websocket route in 2 tabs and test the websocket connection.
• src Contains migrations for a DB and routes.
• src/App Contains all classes that used in codes like PDO, Middleware, Router & ...
• src/Console Contains all scripts to run multiple times via Cron Jobs (Scripts should be registered in /commands.php with custom timing, they will run by independent service in docker-compose)
• src/Controllers Controllers related with your routes separated for web and API. API folder includes both RESTful API and gRPC API. If you want use gRPC (gRPC client & server are not completed, and I ignored them for now. So be careful about the bugs in gRPC ⚠ and if you have an idea or a solution, only by PHP, please make a new discussion/issue/PR), you can find .proto file in API folder. Updating it will need to generate PHP codes again by

docker-compose exec php-mvc-app protoc -I=src/Controllers/API \
    src/Controllers/API/blog.proto \
    --php_out=src/Controllers/API/gRPC \
    --grpc_out=src/Controllers/API/gRPC \
    --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=/usr/bin/grpc_php_plugin

• src/Models Models related with controllers' DB queries & requirements.
• src/Views Simple PHP files to show data on Frontend with reusable include files.
• / You can update env variables and composer.json to add custom packages.

Useful Functions:

• XmlGenerator::feed() Generate sitemap.xml & rss.xml via a script file
• HandleForm::upload(...) Upload file, resize image & add watermark
• HandleForm::validate(...) Validation rules
• HandleFile::write(...) & HandleFile::read(...) Write into and read from file
• Helper::mailto(...) Send HTML Email
• Helper::dd(...) Dumps a given variable along with some additional data
• Helper::log(...) Logging custom data into file
• Helper::csrf(...) Check Cross-site request forgery token
• Helper::slug(...) Slugging string to make user-friendly URL
• Cache::checkCache(...), Cache::cache(...) & Cache::clearCache(...) Check existing cache, cache data and clear cache, by Memcached
• UserInfo::current() Return current user information
• UserInfo::info(...) Return selected user information
• Event::listen(...) & Event::trigger(...) Register an event listener and trigger it when needed
• R::runScript(...) Run R script (if you have R installed)
• HttpClient::cURL(...) Run cURL script to send a request
• CsvGenerator::exportCSV(...) Export a specific table from DB to a CSV file

Run Web App:

• Install docker and docker-compose if needed
• Uncomment // createTables(); in src/routes
• Run docker-compose up --build -d
• Open your browser and open web app in localhost:8080 (It will create tables related with migrations.php and then will comment createTables(); automatically.)
• You can run any command via Docker container like docker exec -it php-mvc-app composer update
• You can run docker-compose down to stop and remove containers
• Next time you can use docker-compose up -d

Use Ajax to send forms' data:

Consider a route for your form like /blog/create; now use blog-create as an ID for form, and blog-create-submit for submit button ID. All form's buttons need to have constant form-button class.

Use Xdebug:

Xdebug installed via Docker, so it is ready to use, just need to start debug in your IDE or start listening to the Xdebug.

RESTful API sample

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_PORT => "8080",
    CURLOPT_URL => "http://localhost:8080/api/blog/create",
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\n\t\"category\": \"Laravel\",\n\t\"title\": \"Laravel 6.7.0 Released\",\n\t\"subtitle\": \"The Laravel team released a minor version v6.7.0 this week, with the latest features, changes, and fixes for 6.x\",\n\t\"body\": \"<p style=\\\"box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px solid; margin: 0px 0px 1.875rem; color: rgb(82, 82, 82); font-family: %26quot;Source Sans Pro%26quot;, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, -apple-system, %26quot;Segoe UI%26quot;, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, %26quot;Fira Sans%26quot;, %26quot;Droid Sans%26quot;, %26quot;Helvetica Neue%26quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\\\">The Laravel team released a minor version v6.7.0 this week, with the latest features, changes, and fixes for 6.x:</p>\",\n\t\"position\": \"2\"\n}",
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        "Authorization: Bearer qwaeszrdxtfcygvuhbijnokmpl0987654321",
        "Content-Type: application/javascript"
    ),
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
    echo $response;
}
