Novaconium PHP: A PHP Framework Built from the Past
NovaconiumPHP is a high-performance PHP framework designed with inspiration from classic coding principles.
Pronounced: Noh-vah-koh-nee-um
- Packagist: https://packagist.org/packages/4lt/novaconium
- Master Repo: https://git.4lt.ca/4lt/novaconium
Getting Started
Novaconium is designed to be developed primarily using Docker. Instead of relying on tools installed directly on your system, common development tasks are executed inside containers:
- Composer runs inside a Docker container rather than on your host machine
- Apache / PHP are served from containers instead of your local environment
- Sass compilation is also handled within a container
As long as you have Docker installed, you can use the full development environment without installing additional dependencies on your system.
You can learn more about how novaconium works with composer.
PROJECTNAME=novaproject;
mkdir -p $PROJECTNAME/novaconium;
cd $PROJECTNAME;
docker run --rm --interactive --tty --volume ./novaconium/:/app composer:latest require 4lt/novaconium;
cp -R novaconium/vendor/4lt/novaconium/skeleton/. .;
# Edit .env
# pwgen -cnsB1v 12 root password
# pwgen -cnsB1v 12 mysql user password (need in both config and env)
# pwgen -cnsB1v 64 framework key (need in config)
# Edit novaconium/App/config.php
docker compose up -d

How it works
htaccess
htaccess ensures that all requests are sent to index.php
index.php
index.php does two things:
- Allows you to turn on error reporting (off by default)
- Loads the novaconium bootstrap file novaconium.php
novaconium.php
What happens here:
- Autoload composer
- Loads configurations
