Just use the grunt watch command, and the script will watch your assets files (located in /resources/assets/) and run the app with the PHP built-in webserver
Let's say you need to create a route for the URL /foo/bar.
The only thing you need to do is to create the file app/foo/bar.php, that's it ! (you can also create a app/foo/bar/index.php)
Put your Twig templates in resources/views.
Templates can be called with a dot notation.
Let's imagine you need to extend the foo/bar.twig file, use {% extends 'foo.bar' %}.
You can generate fake data using the $faker variable.
It uses F. Zaninotto's Faker lib. The formatter's list is available here.
This app uses sabre/http library, that provides Request and Response objects to interact with HTTP requests and reponses.
To access the Request object, use the request() function in your code.
Then, using the view($tpl_name, $data, $status_code) function, you can send back a Response containing the rendered view with the given data. You can also create a custom Response instance, look at Sabre's doc for more informations.
