Installation

Using composer: gelembjuk/webapp require: {"gelembjuk/webapp": "*"}

Usage

This is simplest "one file" example of an app usage. On practive you will have separate folders for Controllers,Views and Models

// ==================== CONFIGURATION ==================================
// path to your composer autoloader
require ('vendor/autoload.php');

$thisdirectory = dirname(__FILE__) . '/'; // get parent directory of this script

// application settings
class appConfig {
    public $offline = false;
    public $loggingfilter = 'all'; // log everything
}

// application options
$options = array(
    'webroot' => $thisdirectory,
    'tmproot' => $thisdirectory.'tmp/',
    'relativebaseurl' => '/example/2/', // this option is useful only if default Router is used.
    'loggerstandard' => true,
    'applicationnamespace' => '\\',
    'defaultcontrollername' => 'MyController',
    'htmltemplatespath' => $thisdirectory.'template/',
    'htmltemplatesoptions' => array('extension' => 'htm') // our templates will have HTML extension
);
 
// ==================== APPLICATION LOGIC ==================================
// controller class
class MyController extends \Gelembjuk\WebApp\Controller {
    // viewer name.
    protected $defviewname = 'MyViewer';

    // ========= the only action of the controler
    protected function doSendmessage() {
        // do somethign to send message
        // best is to use a model 
        
        // if this was JSON request then we will return success status
        // if normal web request then we will redirect to home page
        return array('success',$this->makeUrl(array('message' => 'Successfully sent')));
    }
    
    
}

// view class
class MyViewer extends \Gelembjuk\WebApp\View{
    protected function view() {
        // just display default page
        $this->htmltemplate = 'default';
        
        $this->viewdata['welcomemessage'] = 'Hello there!';
        
        return true;
    }
    protected function viewForm() {
        // display form page
        $this->htmltemplate = 'form';
        return true;
    }
    protected function viewData() {
        // display form page
        $this->htmltemplate = 'data'; // template name
        
        // usually it can be loaded from a Model
        $this->viewdata['data'] = array(
            array('name'=>'User1','email'=>'email1@gmail.com'),
            array('name'=>'User2','email'=>'email2@gmail.com'),
            array('name'=>'User3','email'=>'email3@gmail.com'),
        );
        
        return true;
    }
    protected function beforeDisplay() {
        // set some extra information for any page
        
        if ($this->responseformat == 'html') {
            // only if this is html format to display

            $this->viewdata['applicationtitle'] = 'Demo application';
            
            // include more data that should be displayed on any page of a site
            
        }
        return true;
    }
}

$application = \Gelembjuk\WebApp\Application::getInstance();

$application->init(new appConfig(),$options);

$application->action();
