README

Lightweight PHP 8 Metadata library for the Mitsuki Framework.

This package provides a set of native PHP 8 Attributes to define routing and controller configurations. By separating attributes into this standalone library, your application stays decoupled, and your domain logic remains clean.

✨ Features

• Zero Dependencies: Extremely light footprint with no external requirements.
• PHP 8+ Native: Leveraging the power of native attributes (no more DocBlock annotations).
• Highly Decoupled: Can be used in any project that needs a standardized way to mark controllers and routes.
• Strictly Typed: Fully compatible with static analysis tools like PHPStan or Psalm.

🚀 Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require mitsuki/attributes

🛠 Usage

This library provides two main attributes to decorate your classes and methods.

1. The Controller Attribute

Used at the class level to define a base prefix for all routes within that controller.

use Mitsuki\Attributes\Controller;

#[Controller(baseUri: '/api/v1')]
class UserController 
{
    // ...
}

2. The Route Attribute

Used at the method level to define the specific path, name, and allowed HTTP methods.

use Mitsuki\Attributes\Route;

class UserController 
{
    #[Route(name: 'user_show', path: '/user/{id}', methods: ['GET'])]
    public function show(int $id) 
    {
        // Your logic here...
    }
}

🏗 Architecture

The Attributes act as a bridge between your code and the Mitsuki Router.

1. Definition: You decorate your code with #[Route].
2. Reflection: The Mitsuki Router/Controller-Resolver reads these attributes using PHP's ReflectionClass.
3. Execution: The framework configures the routing table based on this metadata.
