WhiteHawk CMF

Whitehowk is framework for building web apps starting from basic MVC app finishing large enterprise ready applications. Most of funstionality placed on separate units called modules. Core features provides controll over this modules and base funstions like routing, serice container and event dispatching.

Architecture

Application

Start point of CMF and kernel initializer

Kernel

Kernel is core of CMF. It’s responcibilities are:

Initialize modules Load modules information, resolve module dependencies and merge DI contexts.
Boot modules Here modules are configurate DI container and other module related services.
Initialize DI container Compile DI container.
Initialize Request
Handle requst
Send response to browser.

Modules

Modules acts like plugins. Each module should implement ModuleProvider interface, and provide information about itself, required dependencies and configure if nesessery DI container, add compiller passes or register service definitions.

class ModuleProvider implements ModuleProviderInterface
{
    /**
     * Return module name in format {$vendor/$name}
     * @return string
     */
    public function getName()
    {
        return 'sample/acme';
    }

    /**
     * Return array of module names
     * @return array
     */
    public function getDependency()
    {
        return array(
            'oz/core',
            'oz/twig'
        );
    }

    /**
     * Configure module services and provide shared
     *
     * @param ContainerBuilder $container
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot(ContainerBuilder $container)
    {
        $container->setDefinition('acme.some_service', new Definition('Acme\SomeService'));
        $container->addCompilerPass(new AcmeServiceProvider());
    }
