README

A lightweight, minimalist PHP framework providing essential components for modern web applications.

MintyPHP will run on any Linux web server running PHP + MariaDB + Memcache

• PHP: >= 8.0
• Extensions:
  • ext-memcached: Required for caching functionality
  • ext-mysqli: Required for database operations

Installation

Install MintyPHP Core via Composer:

composer require mintyphp/core

Development

Project Structure

The project follows a dual-layer architecture:

• src/Core/: Contains the core implementation classes (e.g., Core/Template.php, Core/Router.php)
• src/: Contains auto-generated static wrapper classes (e.g., Template.php, Router.php)

Important: Do NOT Edit Generated Classes

The wrapper classes in src/ are auto-generated. Do not manually edit these files as your changes will be overwritten.

Making Changes

1. Edit Core Classes: Make all changes to files in src/Core/ directory
2. Regenerate Wrappers: After modifying core classes, regenerate the wrapper classes:

php generate_wrappers.php

This script automatically generates static wrapper classes that provide a convenient facade pattern for the instance-based Core classes.

Development Workflow

# 1. Make changes to core classes
nano src/Core/Template.php

# 2. Regenerate wrapper classes
php generate_wrappers.php

# 3. Run tests to verify changes
./test.sh

# 4. Run static analysis (optional)
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse

Running Tests

Run All Tests

./test.sh

Or directly with PHPUnit:
