# miniMVC
|
|
|
|
miniMVC is a minimalistic Modular MVC framework, with built-in minifier, and pure-PHP templating system.
|
|
|
|
### Unique features
|
|
#### Extensive use of PHP's magic methods on the base class
|
|
* `__toString()` method allows a view of the current class object when the current class object is used as a string. If you prefer `var_dump()` or `var_export()`, you can pass the name of that function if you call the `__toString` method directly.
|
|
|
|
Eg. `$this . "string"`, `$this->__toString()`, `echo $this`;
|
|
|
|
* `__call()` method allows (in PHP 5.3+) the dynamic addition of callable closure objects
|
|
|
|
Eg. `$this->foo = function($baz){}` is callable as `$this->foo()`, with the current object as the last argument
|
|
|
|
##### Database class is an extension of PHP's PDO class.
|
|
|
|
* miniMVC supports any database supported by PDO
|
|
* Database class also implements the `__toString` method
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* assets - frontend files
|
|
* js - javascript files
|
|
* css - css files
|
|
* config - minifier configuration files
|
|
|
|
* modules - MVC triads
|
|
* controllers - controller classes
|
|
* models - model classes
|
|

|
### Common Tasks
|
|
|
|
* Creating a controller
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
class Foo extends MM_Controller {
|
|
|
|
function __construct()
|
|
{
|
|
parent::__construct();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
* Creating a model
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
class Bar extends MM_Model {
|
|
|
|
function __construct()
|
|
{
|
|
parent::__construct();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
* Loading a database (From a Model)
|
|
|
|
`$this->db = db::get_instance($db_name);`
|
|
|
|
Note that multiple databases can be used in the same class
|
|
by specifying a different database name.
|
|
|
|
* Loading a model (From a controller)
|
|
|
|
`$this->load_model($model)`
|
