Triad Examples

Here you can find use cases for Triad PHP framework.

• Empty Project contains very basic way to implement MVP handler.
• REST Service contains sample of JSON REST API server that handles simple user creation and editing.
• Smarty Webpage contains sample of custom template engine implementation
• Minimal very basic and simple html handler without using MVP and namespaces

In order to make them working you have to download and copy latest Triad PHP Framework into /libs/ directory. If you want to use Redis in REST Service example, download copy latest Predis PHP library into /libs/ directory - othewise disable redis in config.php file.

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.3 or better
• PDO compatible database for REST Service example

• app/Main/Application.php - custom application initialization and error handling
• app/Main/Presenter.php - app parent presenter containing most common method and most used services
