FAQ
Example:
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 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.
Informations about the package framework
Spark
A lightweight, Laravel-inspired PHP framework. No Symfony dependencies, no heavy abstractions — just routing, ORM, templating, middleware, DI, migrations, and a CLI in clean PHP 8.1+ code.
Quick Start
Open http://localhost:8000.
No extra configuration needed — the app key is generated automatically and SQLite is configured out of the box.
Requirements
- PHP 8.1+
- Extensions:
pdo,mbstring,json - No other dependencies
Routing
routes/web.php:
Route params are injected into controller methods by name.
Controllers
Return a Response, an array/object (auto-JSON), or a string (HTML).
Models (ORM)
Relationships: hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo.
Migrations
Supports SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.
Blade-lite Views (.spark.php)
Templates compile once to plain PHP in storage/cache/views/. Subsequent requests use the cached version.
Directives: @extends @section @endsection @yield @include @if @elseif @else @endif @foreach @endforeach @for @while @isset @empty @unless @php @endphp
Echo: {{ $var }} (HTML-escaped), {!! $html !!} (raw)
Middleware
Built-in: StartSession, VerifyCsrfToken, Cors, ForceHttps.
Service Providers
Register in bootstrap/app.php:
Dependency Injection
Constructor-inject any class; the container resolves dependencies automatically:
CLI
Security defaults
Every response gets these headers automatically:
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
X-Content-Type-Options |
nosniff |
X-Frame-Options |
SAMEORIGIN |
Referrer-Policy |
strict-origin-when-cross-origin |
Content-Security-Policy |
strict + nonce for inline scripts/styles |
Strict-Transport-Security |
set on HTTPS |
Permissions-Policy |
geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=() |
CSRF tokens, secure session cookies, SQL prepared statements, mass-assignment protection, and open-redirect prevention are all on by default.
Logging
Spark includes a built-in file logger. Logs are written to storage/logs/spark.log.
Log format:
The minimum log level is controlled by LOG_LEVEL in your .env file (default: debug).
Valid levels: debug, info, warning, error.
You can also inject the logger via the container:
Helpers
app(), config(), env(), base_path(), storage_path(), view(), json(), response(), redirect(), abort(), csrf_token(), csrf_field(), bcrypt(), csp_nonce(), e(), dd(), logger()
