  • Template inheritance
  • Collectors for JS and LESS compiling
  • install and update routines
• Template Engine
  • functions for inheriting, routing and asset linking
  • HTML bootstrap template
• Query Builder
• User Provider

Server requirements

• PHP 5.6.4 or above
• Apache 2.2 or 2.4
• Apache's mod_rewrite module
• MySQL 5.5.0 or above

Required PHP extensions

• json
• mbstring

Installation

1.) Clone the git repository to the desired location using:

git clone https://github.com/dneustadt/majima.git

or use composer

composer require dneustadt/majima

2.) Set the correct directory permissions:

chmod -R 755 var
chmod -R 755 web
chmod -R 755 upload

3.) Install dependencies from the same directory

composer install

4.) Create a new MySQL database

5.) Run the majima installation script by accessing the URL in a web browser. This should be the URL where you uploaded the majima files.

• If you installed majima in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/install
• If you installed majima in its own subdirectory called majima, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/majima/install

Plugins

For a real life examples see the demo plugins:

• https://github.com/dneustadt/majima-grid
• https://github.com/dneustadt/majima-pages

To create a new plugin first make a new directory under the plugins directory. In this example it will be MyPlugin. Create a new class MyPlugin.php within that new directory. The name of the file must match the name of the containing folder.

By extending PluginAbstract you will gain access to the ContainerBuilder reference

$this->container // returns instance of ContainerBuilder

Example of a Plugin class:

Return an integer for the priority in which order plugins should be loaded. default is 1

Returns the version of the plugin. default is 1.0.0. If the version is newer than what is saved in the database, the method update() will be called.

Do something if the plugin isn't registered in database yet, e.g. create tables.

Use this method and $this->container to add compiler passes, set container services or parameters.

Use this method to register new controllers or decorate existing ones. Since the id majima.admin_controller is already set, the service for that controller will be decorated. The new id for the decorated service will then be prepended by snake case of the plugin class name, so in this case it would be my_plugin.majima.admin_controller

Enhance the routes to actions of controllers for the routing. The name/id of a route, e.g. myPlugin_index, will also determine, where the view for that action will be looked for. Underscores will be converted to slashes and the first letter will be capitalized. So in this example majima would look for a template MyPlugin/index.tpl

Collect views for routes and assets for compilation. Assets can be separated for use in frontend and backend context (when user is logged in).

Controller Example

By extending MajimaController you will gain access to the following references

$this->container //returns instance of DependencyInjection\Container
$this->dbal //returns instance of FluentPDO
$this->engine //returns instance of Dwoo\Core

FluentPDO is a query builder
Dwoo is the template engine of majima
Use assign to pass an array of data to views.

If the route to the action can be resolved as a path to a template (see above), you don't have to return anything in your action. If you're outside of the conventions, you can render a template and return a response yourself:

Template functions

Adding to Dwoo's own functions majima introduces a few more:

{inherits "Index/index.tpl"}

Virtually the same as Dwoo's extends but allows you to inherit templates from the majima's base HTML bootstrap and views of previously loaded plugins.

{url "index_index" array('foo' => $bar)}

Will generate the url of a registered route. Optionally pass an array of GET parameters.

{link "/web/css/style.min.css", $.cache_buster}

Get the absolute path to an asset. Optionally pass a cache buster value. You can use the global $.cache_buster which will be regenerated once the cache is emptied.
