Documentation

Routing

route format is: example.com/foo/bar/slashed_params

this means: if you want above route, follow these steps:

1. create FooController.php in app/controllers
2. create pubic function bar() in it
3. specify request type, post_bar(), just gets POST request

• your options are HTTP request types: get_,post_,put_,patch_,delete_,...
• if you are going to accept all kind of methods, use any_
• no route.php file, because this is SIMPLE MVC

Views

if you want to return a view as a result of a route in corresponded function (that described in Routing section), do this:

return View::show('home.index')

this means, send /app/views/home/index.blade.php to client

• You have powerful blade engine here, many thanks to @jenssegers
• Do not echo anything, because it is MVC

Models

my next TODO ...

Artisan Commands

run artisan by php artisan

You can create your own commands simply by creating its class in app/commands

For a command like php artisan foo:bar params just create a Foo.php as a class and define public funtion bar() in it

For a command like php artisan foo params define method public function index() like Demo class

To get version number of Simpha, run php artisan version

.env

You have .env file here, and an ENV_Parser helps to parse it.

Read env flags like this:

env_get('flag_label','default_value')
