How to start with Orpheus Framework ?

The Orpheus Framework is entirely customizable, but it starts with MVC Library, an ORM and all features you need to get an enhanced website.

Understanding Orpheus

Orpheus separates different package features in namespaces and composer is helping you to maintain your application up-to-date by taking care of your dependencies.
Web access point is /app/web, and you will find some themes in it, each theme has its own css, js and layout files, basic layout files are in PHP and the default theme is... default.
You should put your own sources in /libs/src, you will find some sample here to help you to start.

Create your very first page

We are calling a route and access point to a controller, who is in charge to process the request and return a result, like a rendered view. So, with Orpheus, you totally control how a user is getting in and what to return to him.

1. Get a new Controller

Start by creating a Controller in your src folder (libs/src), there is a HomeController class to help you.

2. Draw a new template

Add your layout in the layout/app folder of your theme, all used template are relative to the layout folder.

3. Link a new route

To get it online, create a route in the file config/routes.yaml using instructions and examples we provided.

As you could see, it's so easy !
