## Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Mite** is a single-file framework that was born out of a necessity of its time, circa 2011, to enable rapid prototyping for PHP. When ideas came too fast to capture in most conventional frameworks for PHP, **Mite** provided a one-include-and-go solution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This was also the first time I had the idea to break away from `MVC` structure and just build something based around routing. Turned out this idea was not mine alone, it started with `sinatra.rb`, and continued with `express.js`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are **better options** out there now
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [FlightPHP](http://flightphp.com/) appears to have achieved my goal

### Features
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- PHP 5.3+
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create an `index.php` file and put the following code in it
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
class Prototype extends Mite {
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
function index()
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
// *.tpl.* not required
|
||
|
|
$this->view('index.tpl.php');
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$app = new Prototype();
|
||
|
|
$app->route('/', 'index');
|
||
|
|
$app->run();
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file name as `index.php` is important for routing

## TODO
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- More Examples
|
||
|
|
- Document API
|
||
|
|
- Modernize (ditch 5.2), but remain small
|
||
|
|
- Mite DB construct take PDO object, not build one
|
||
|
|
- Support REST functionality
