Introduction
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Silex is a PHP microframework. It is built on the shoulders of `Symfony`_ and
|
||
|
|
`Pimple`_ and also inspired by `Sinatra`_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Silex aims to be:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* *Concise*: Silex exposes an intuitive and concise API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* *Extensible*: Silex has an extension system based around the Pimple
|
||
|
|
service-container that makes it easy to tie in third party libraries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* *Testable*: Silex uses Symfony's HttpKernel which abstracts request and
|
||
|
|
response. This makes it very easy to test apps and the framework itself. It
|
||
|
|
also respects the HTTP specification and encourages its proper use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a nutshell, you define controllers and map them to routes, all in one step.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<?php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// web/index.php
|
||
|
|
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$app = new Silex\Application();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($name) use ($app) {
|
||
|
|
return 'Hello '.$app->escape($name);
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$app->run();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All that is needed to get access to the Framework is to include the
|
||
|
|
autoloader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, a route for ``/hello/{name}`` that matches for ``GET`` requests is
|
||
|
|
defined. When the route matches, the function is executed and the return value
|
||
|
|
is sent back to the client.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, the app is run. Visit ``/hello/world`` to see the result. It's really
|
||
|
|
that easy!
