⚙️ Developer Experience
MicroApp ships with CLI tools to help you get started faster:
php vendor/samaphp/microapp/bin/init.php
This will:

- ✅ Copy .htaccess.microapp to .htaccess if not already present
- ✅ Run composer dump-autoload to finalize setup
🚀 Getting Started
- Install via Composer:
composer require samaphp/microapp - Scaffold your app (autoload controllers + .htaccess + index.php):
php vendor/samaphp/microapp/bin/init.php
Extra
- Create your controller:
php vendor/samaphp/microapp/bin/make-controller.php HomeController - List all defined routes:
php vendor/samaphp/microapp/bin/route-list.php
🔀 basePath Support
If your application is served from a subdirectory (e.g., example.com/myapp/), you can pass the base path to MicroApp during initialization:
This ensures all routes are matched correctly regardless of where your app is hosted.
📌 You must also update your .htaccess rewrite rule to reflect the same subdirectory.🟦 index.php Example
The auto generated index.php will be like this:
🟦 Controller Example
Your controller class should be in the src/Controller directory and follow the PSR-4 autoloading standard. For example, if you create a controller named HomeController.php, it should look like this:
