Autoloading src

Create and autoload your src or app folder, which is where all your namespaced classes reside. Add below entry to your composer.json file.

  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {"App\\": "src/"}
  }

Then run composer update

Hello world bootstrap

Create a file called app.php. (any file name is cool). Below is the most basic hello world app we can write.

require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Exedra\Application(__DIR__);

$app->map['hello']->get('/')->execute(function () {
    return 'hello world';
});

return $app;

Front controller

Then create a /public/index.php as the front controller in order to test your app.

<?php
$app = require_once __DIR__ . '/../app.php';

$app->dispatch();

Hello World

And simply test it with the built-in php server.

cd public
php -S localhost:8080

Then, run the http://localhost:8080 on your browser and get your hello world;
