Installation

To install Luminance, ensure you have PHP 7.0 or above installed, and run:

git clone https://github.com/luminancephp/framework.git

Now, change into the folder, and open your text editor. Change the application and database configuration paths in app/Configuration folder

App Folder Structure

All applications have a small and simple folder structure:

• Cache
• Configuration
• Controllers
• Models
• Views

Cache

This is where all cache files written by Luminance\Cache\File.php

Configuration

This is where all application configuration will be, you can reference it by calling the Configuration Loader

Example:

$configuration = new \Luminance\Configuration\Loader("file_name");

echo $configuration->config["test_field_name"];

Controllers

All controllers here are case sensitive, the controller name must match the file name.

Example controller:

<?php
/**
 * This is a hello world controller, as a sample controller
 *
 * @author Your Name <yourname@youremail.com>
 * @namespace Luminance\Controllers
 * @license LICENSE
 * @version 1.0.0
 * @package MY APP NAME
 */

namespace Controllers;

use Luminance\Controllers\BaseController;

class ExampleWorld extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        echo "Hello, world!";
    }
}

BaseController exposes the Request and Response object, by calling, respectively:

$this->request->{methods};

$this->response->{methods};

Models

These models are designed to be database objects, models must extend Table class.

Example:

<?php
/**
 * This is a test database  
 */
namespace Luminance\Database;

class Accounts extends Table
{
    /**
     * This is a sample method, that queries a sample data set for it's ID, and returns the PDO object
     */
    public function getUserById($user_id)
    {
        if(!is_numeric($user_id))
        {
            return null;
        }
        $this->setQueryString("SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE id = ?");
        $this->replacements = array(
            $user_id
        );
        return $this->execute();
    }
}

Views

This is a standard views directory, you can use this as your base views directory, but do not have to use the built-in template parser. You can use any template parser, such as Twig, Smarty, etc.
