Minimalism is a modular MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework for PHP 8.1. Minimalism is written to support both Webpages as well as APIs. The framework is small and doesn't offer many functions "off the hook", but it has been build with extensibility in mind. You can use minimalism without any other frills, or you can install one of the many services already present and use those functionalities.
Minimalism is tested, but please keep in mind this is a project which is maintained to support projects which we are currently developing. This means the time and effort we can put on minimalism is not as much as we would love.
Yes, there are lots of frameworks out there, we appreciate it. Yet, we believed we could do something that was closer to our needs. We wanted a small framework with very basic support and a great epandability. This is why we created minimalism: it's what we needed.
If you think minimalism hits the right notes and you want to help, please jump to the Contribution section and send your love!
Some of minimalism services are based on some common interfaces. These interfaces are implemented in services which offers different views on the same interface.
Please note that every installation of minimalism can only use one service implementing a minimalism interface. This means that should you like to use MySQL you won't be able to use any other service which implements minimalism-interface-sql.
Currently, the following interfaces have been created:
- Sql: Interface to access data in database
- User: Interface to define a project-specific user to be used in generic services
- Mailer: Interface to send emails
- Cache: Interface to cache data
- Encrypter: Interface to manage simple data encryption
The interfaces do not offer functionalities, but they support services which implement the actual features
-
Encrypter: Encrypt ids to avoid sending int ids to the client
-
Redis: Access Redis database
-
Cacher: Implement the cache interface using Redis
-
MySQL: Implements the Sql interface for MySQL
-
Twig: Implements
-
S3:
-
Auth:
