Yaf - Yet Another Framework

PHP framework written in c and built as a PHP extension. Forked from Laruence's yaf.

Here is some difference with Laruence's Yaf.

Controller class in default module must be in a namespace app\controllers when use_namespace is On;
Controller class in none default module must be in a namespace app\modules\[Module]\controllers when use_namespace is On; In which [Module] is your module name
Bootstrip class must be in namespace app when use_namespace is On;
name_suffix will be ignored when use_namespace is On;

In another words, you can write controllers like this.

<?php

namespace app\controllers;     

class Ns extends \Yaf\Controller_Abstract 
{
    public function testAction()    
    { 
        echo 'hello';          
    }
}

Or like this if your are writting controllers in a none default module.

<?php

namespace app\modules\Api\controllers;

use core\controllers\WebController;

class Passport extends WebController
{
    public function loginAction()
    {   
        echo 'login ok';
    }
}

Requirement

Install

Tutorial

layout

A classic application directory layout:

- .htaccess // Rewrite rules
+ public
  | - index.php // Application entry
  | + css
  | + js
  | + img
+ conf
  | - application.ini // Configure 
- application/
  - Bootstrap.php   // Bootstrap
  + controllers
     - Index.php // Default controller
  + views    
     |+ index   
        - index.phtml // View template for default controller
  - library
  - models  // Models
  - plugins // Plugins

DocumentRoot

You should set DocumentRoot to application/public, thus only the public folder can be accessed by user

index.php

index.php in the public directory is the only way in of the application, you should rewrite all request to it(you can use .htaccess in Apache+php mod)

<?php
define("APPLICATION_PATH",  dirname(dirname(__FILE__)));

$app  = new Yaf_Application(APPLICATION_PATH . "/conf/application.ini");
$app->bootstrap() //call bootstrap methods defined in Bootstrap.php
    ->run();

Rewrite rules

Apache

#.htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php

Nginx

server {
  listen ****;
  server_name  domain.com;
  root   document_root;
  index  index.php index.html index.htm;
 
  if (!-e $request_filename) {
    rewrite ^/(.*)  /index.php/$1 last;
  }
}

Lighttpd

$HTTP["host"] =~ "(www.)?domain.com$" {
  url.rewrite = (
     "^/(.+)/?$"  => "/index.php/$1",
  )
}

application.ini

application.ini is the application config file

[product]
;CONSTANTS is supported
application.directory = APPLICATION_PATH "/application/"

Alternatively, you can use a PHP array instead:

<?php
$config = array(
   "application" => array(
       "directory" => application_path . "/application/",
    ),
);

$app  = new yaf_application($config);
....

default controller

In Yaf, the default controller is named IndexController:

<?php
class IndexController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract {
   // default action name
   public function indexAction() {  
        $this->getView()->content = "Hello World";
   }
}
?>

###view script The view script for default controller and default action is in the application/views/index/index.phtml, Yaf provides a simple view engine called "Yaf_View_Simple", which support the view template written in PHP.

<html>
 <head>
   <title>Hello World</title>
 </head>
 <body>
   <?php echo $content; ?>
 </body>
</html>
