What is this?

This is a really basic base framework with Twig I've created so I can kick start projects a bit quicker. It's easily modifiable to how/what ever you need to do with it. This is powering my site, tyler.ac.

Installation

A quick, pretty easy guide:

1. Clone/download and navigate to that directory
2. Run composer install and npm install in your terminal
3. In /App/ copy Config.sample.php to Config.php and fill with your env details
4. ???
5. You should be up and running

Routing

It does what it says, really. Examples and the place where your routes go can be found in /App/Routes/

$router->add(['','home'], ['controller' => 'Home', 'action' => 'index']);

The code above will allow someone to access localhost and localhost/home, the controller is /App/Controllers/Home.php and the method in that class is indexAction which would in theory would be used to display your index/home landing page with Twig

Closure routes are possible too!

If you want just a simple route and you're not wanting to create a controller or method for it, just look at the example below

$router->add('account/logout', function(){
    session_destroy();
    header("Location: /", 302);
    die();
});

Views

Views can be found in App/Views, the home for all the websites views. This uses Twig templating engine, you can read more here.
You can find the base for all the views templates in App/Views/base.php where you can see an example within that file.

Rendering a template

Rendering a template with or without variables is quite simple with the code below

$blogPosts = Database::getAll("SELECT id FROM blog ORDER BY id DESC");
View::renderTemplate('Home/index.php', [
  'blogPosts' => $blogPosts
]);

and within this template, Home/index.php, we would just use the code below to display data from $blogPosts

{% for post in blogPosts %}
  Post ID: {{ post.id }}
{% endfor %}

Support

I'll update this repo whenever I change or fix something but other than that it'll be slim.
