Download the PHP package linio/tortilla without Composer

Linio Tortilla

Linio Tortilla provides a very thin web abstraction layer built on top of FastRoute and Pimple. No frills, light and efficient. We believe that the web is just a delivery mechanism and no framework should dictate how you design the architecture of your applications.

And, just like a tasty super-thin tortilla, you can wrap it around anything you want.

Install

The recommended way to install Linio Tortilla is through composer.

If you need help preparing your tortilla, there are recipes available:

$ composer create-project linio/burrito-recipe full_app
$ composer create-project linio/tortilla-recipe basic_app

Tests

To run the test suite, you need install the dependencies via composer, then run PHPUnit.

$ composer install
$ phpunit

Goals

• Efficiency at all costs
• Reduce, as much as possible, the amount of moving parts under the hood
• Tackle complexity

Usage

Preparing your tortilla is quite simple. This is an example of a simple front-controller:

You can also define controllers as services instead of closures. Since a Tortilla application is also a Pimple container:

Defining actions

The Linio Tortilla dispatcher will always dispatch the HTTP request to your controller actions as the first argument. The method signature looks like this:

We do this to keep the dispatching procedure efficient. If we decided to use PHP's reflection mechanism to decide whether to inject the request object or not, we would lose precious milliseconds.
