Usage

Bootstrapping an application without view support, e.g. a REST application

For more details have a look to the functional tests at https://github.com/mamuz/phalcon-application/blob/master/tests/functional/ActionDomainResponseCest.php based on that example project.

Bootstrapping an application with view support (mostly to response with rendered HTML)

Check https://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/views.html for using views in Phalcon.

Phalcon's view engine supports the three-step view template pattern. That means you can have a main-layout (outerframe), which includes a controller based layout (frame), which in turn includes an action based layout (innerframe).

Like this:

So each controller action can have an own template for rendering.

For instance you have a controller with two actions like:

• User::loginAction
• User::logoutAction

This leads to two view templates located at:

• {viewbasepath}\user\login.phtml
• {viewbasepath}\user\logout.phtml

Regarding the three-step view template pattern you can place these ones at:

• {viewbasepath}\index.phtml (outerframe must be named as index and needs to be placed at the root level)
• {viewbasepath}\layouts\user.phtml (frame must be named like the controller and needs to be placed inside layouts folder)

In case of ajax requests (XHR) outerframe and frame rendering is disabled, which means only the innerframe is rendered.

For more details have a look to the functional tests at https://github.com/mamuz/phalcon-application/blob/master/tests/functional/ViewCest.php based on that example project.

Bootstrapping an application as a command line tool

Check https://docs.phalconphp.com/en/latest/reference/cli.html#tasks for creating tasks.

Run a command with arguments

Let's imagine that the application is bootstrapped inside index.php

That will call the send action from the mailing task with invoking reminder as an argument.

Run a command with arguments and options

Let's imagine that the application is bootstrapped inside index.php

That will call the send action from the mailing task with invoking reminder as an argument. Inside the send action the options are aware by $this->dispatcher->getOptions().

For more details have a look to the functional tests at https://github.com/mamuz/phalcon-application/blob/master/tests/functional/CommandLineCest.php based on that example project.
