Nibiru

Rapid Prototyping PHP Framework

Version 0.9.5 beta

Introduction

Nibiru is a rapid prototyping framework written in PHP and based on the MVC design pattern. Now one may say that writing
another framework is not cool because there are so many, such as Symphony, ZendFramework ( where as I have prefered the
first version of that framework ), Laravel, etc.. But let's be honest they are complete overkill for smaller projects and
are not fit to quick start your "own" development.
That is why I have started my own little framework and am happy to provide the first version of Nibiru, in the version 0.1,
there is still a lot of work to be done in refactoring the core features for the View, Controller and the main Template
Engine Implementation.

  1. read datasets from a complete table
  2. read datasets by selection from a table
  3. write datasets by array into a table
  • Bootstrap template of a dashboard
  • Example page, on how to setup a View and Controller

    Version 0.3 beta 04.02.2018

    • Improved: The Router now accepts actions, either trough the _action as parameter, or on the URL pattern after the controller name Example: http://youdomain/[controllername]/[actionname]/
    • It is now possible to load as many navigations on the page as wanted by passing the name to the
      JsonNavigation::getInstance()->loadJsonNavigationArray('[NAME]');
      call in the navigationAction of the Controller
    • Building forms by simple adding the namespace
      use Nibiru\Factory\Form;
      and calling Example:
      Form::addInputTypeText( array( 'name' => 'lastname', 'value' => 'placeholder' ) );
      To finalize the form the last call should be something like this:
      Form::addForm( array('name' => 'testform', 'method' => 'post', 'action' => '/' . Router::getInstance()->currentPage(), 'target' => '_self') );
    • The Database design has fully been refactored, now it contains an autoloading mechanism which can be triggert by createing a database folder in the application folder, a Example file is in the folder applicatoin/database
    • The Database access can now be implemented anywhere in your application by adding the namespace to your database accessing Logic:
      use Nibiru\Factory\Db;

    Version 0.3.5 beta 14.03.2018

    Bugfixing

    Version 0.6.1 beta 04.01.2019

    Previous version

    Version 0.6.0 beta 05.12.2018

    • Added a Pagination to the core it now can be used like in the template file Example, the class just needs to be extended by the module that should have a pageination (e.g. a Blog Module)

    • Name fixing.
