Features

• Supports MariaDB and SQLite
• Simple Authentication
• All licenses are MIT at the time of writing (Dec. 2022)

What

This is a PHP PSR-4 Framework - www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/

Why

To craft PHP applications you need this style of Framework

This is a Model-View-Controller Application in PHP

It:

• Creates an entry point
• Loads php scripts as required
• Calls a Controller
  • Models data
  • Displays a View

How

1. Create a composer file

{
  "license": "MIT",
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "": "src/app"
    }
  },
  "require": {
    "bravedave/esse": "dev-main"
  }
}

1. update to install files

composer u

1. install a sample application

mkdir src
cp -r vendor/bravedave/esse/src/app src/app
cp -r vendor/bravedave/esse/www .

1. Run

cd www
php -S localhost:8080 _mvp.php

the program will run, but there are no users or database

• a data folder was created in src/data
  1. rename the esse-defaults-sample.json to esse-defaults.json - activates SQLite as the database
  2. create a user in users with a password
  3. logoff
  4. authentication is now required

dive into the app folder and build your app ! etc .. etc..
