Leaf PHP Framework
Leaf PHP
Leaf is a PHP framework that helps you create clean, simple but powerful web apps and APIs quickly and easily. Leaf introduces a cleaner and much simpler structure to the PHP language while maintaining it's flexibility. With a simple structure and a shallow learning curve, it's an excellent way to rapidly build powerful and high performant web apps and APIs.
Installation
You can easily install Leaf using Composer.
composer require leafs/leaf
This will install Leaf in your project directory.
Basic Usage
This is a simple demonstration of Leaf's simplicity. After installing Leaf, create an index.php file.
require __DIR__ . "vendor/autoload.php";
$app = new Leaf\App;
$auth = new Leaf\Auth;
$auth->connect("host", "user", "pass", "db name");
// Base example
$app->get("/", function() use($app) {
$app->response()->json([
"message" => "Welcome!"
]);
});
// Full login example
$app->post("/auth/login", function() use($app, $auth) {
$credentials = $app->request()->get(["username", "password"]);
$user = $auth->login("users", $credentials, [
"username" => ["username", "max:15"],
"password" => ["text", "NoSpaces", "min:8"],
]);
if (!$user) {
$app->response()->throwErr($auth->errors());
}
$app->response()->json($user);
});
$app->run();
You may quickly test this using the built-in PHP server:
php -S localhost:8000
