PHP Framework - from RedCat Full Stack Framework

Components Overview

Minimum Requirements

• PHP >= 5.4
• HTTP Server like Apache, Nginx or LiteSpeed + mod rewrite

Components

Each component has a github repository with it's own documentation, light autoloader, composer support and packagist package. All components follows the PSR-4 convention for namespace related to directory structure and so, can be loaded using any modern framework autoloader.

Work Flow

Here is the complete RedCat workflow. Don't panic ;), this diagram is for help you to understand deeply the whole use of components working together but many of them are transparent and you don't need to care about until you need thems. The main workspaces are in green.

Plugin

redcat/php/RedCat/Plugin

The RedCat\Plugin namespace is used to add somes php component which are totaly dependent and based on other RedCat components. All component in RedCat namespace are indenpents from others except Plugin.
It is the coupling couch where all components meet others and start working together.
Is where you'll can find implementation of FrontOffice and Backoffice for basic CMS, customization and plugins for Templix (the Template Engine of RedCat), and even some independent tools which are dependencies of RedCat\Plugin sub-namespaces.

modular plugins

For modular plugins see Mvc module.

PHP bootstrap

All php RedCat components are distributed under the "RedCat" namespace. They are forming a complete php suite where all components are decoupled and the use cases and couplings can be found in subnamespace "RedCat\Plugin" . An example of bootstrap is files "index.phps" and "redcat.php" in RedCat-Framework, where in this case, the IoC is performed accross the whole application from ".config.php" via "Strategy\Di".
