FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Directory Structure

Routing

Define routes in App/Router/web.php:

Available methods

Method	Description
`Router::get($uri, $handler)`	Register a GET route
`Router::post($uri, $handler)`	Register a POST route
`Router::match($methods, $uri, $handler)`	Register for multiple HTTP methods

Route handlers follow the format: ControllerName@methodName

URL Parameters

Parameters are defined with curly braces and passed as method arguments:

Controllers

Controllers extend Lime\Controller and are placed in App/Controller/ under the App\Controller namespace.

Base Controller Methods

Method	Description
`$this->view($path, $data)`	Render a view with data
`$this->redirect($url)`	Redirect to a URL
`$this->json($data, $status)`	Return JSON response

Views

Views are plain PHP files in App/View/. Data passed from the controller is extracted as variables.

View paths use dots for subdirectories: home/index maps to App/View/home/index.php.

Database

The Lime\Database class provides a singleton PDO connection and helper methods.

Methods

Method	Returns	Description
`Database::connect()`	`PDO`	Get the singleton PDO instance
`Database::query($sql, $params)`	`PDOStatement`	Execute a prepared query
`Database::fetch($sql, $params)`	`?array`	Fetch one row or null
`Database::fetchAll($sql, $params)`	`array`	Fetch all rows
`Database::insert($sql, $params)`	`int`	Insert and return lastInsertId
`Database::execute($sql, $params)`	`int`	Execute and return rowCount

All queries use prepared statements with automatic parameter binding for security.

Models

Models extend Lime\Model and provide direct database access. They share the same PDO connection.

Model Methods

Method	Returns	Description
`Model::query($sql, $params)`	`PDOStatement`	Execute a prepared query
`Model::fetchAll($sql, $params)`	`array`	Fetch all rows
`Model::fetchOne($sql, $params)`	`?array`	Fetch one row or null
`Model::execute($sql, $params)`	`int`	Execute and return lastInsertId

Migrations

Migration files are SQL files placed in App/Database/Migrations/. They are executed in filename order.

Creating a migration

Create a file like 001_create_users.sql:

Running migrations

Migrations are tracked in a migrations table. Only files that haven't been run yet will execute.

Environment Configuration

The framework loads a .env file from the project root. Variables are available via $_ENV and getenv().

Lines starting with # are treated as comments. The .env file should NOT be committed to version control.

Serving in Production

Apache

The included .htaccess files handle URL rewriting. Ensure mod_rewrite is enabled and AllowOverride All is set for the document root.

Nginx

Architecture Overview

Request Lifecycle

.htaccess rewrites all requests to Public/index.php
index.php blocks direct access to internal directories
System/Bootstrap.php loads environment, registers autoloader, loads routes
Router::dispatch() matches the request URI and method
The matched controller method is called with extracted parameters
The controller renders a view or returns a JSON response

Namespace Mapping

Namespace	Directory
`Lime\`	`System/`
`App\`	`App/`

The autoloader in Bootstrap.php handles PSR-4-style class loading for both namespaces.

Security

All database queries use PDO prepared statements to prevent SQL injection
View output should be escaped with htmlspecialchars()
Direct access to App/, System/, vendor/, and storage/ is blocked
Root .htaccess restricts access to system directories
