nualiian/php-m

A PHP boilerplate for less configurable environments.

php-m framework

php-m is a very slim framework, that offers a solid boilerplate, that can be used for many simple, but also more complex web applications., _(*1)

php-m was designed to be very unopinionated, lightweight and secure. It is also designed to be deployed easily in any environmnet as it tries to rely on as little operating system specific functionality and config-specific functionality as possible., _(*2)

Installation instructions

php-m offers this functionality out of the box:, _(*4)

Authentication

The framework has its own session based Auth class, that is ready to be used in your application. The main user model class is located in framework/Core/Auth. To login a user you simply need to call Auth::login($credentials) in you controller. Logout on the toher hand is provided via Auth::logout(). Auth class also offers a convenience method for retrieving the user from the session by calling Auth::user(). If there is no user loggd in false will be returned. To create a new user, you can call User::create($credentials) and pass in an array of credentials (email and password) to persist a newly created user into the database., _(*5)
