Creating the application

If you want to define global constants or other settings, you can use the config.php in app/config/., _(*6)

Routing

To define your routes, use the file app/config/routes:, _(*7)

<?php

//Routes of the application.
\Flight::route('/', array('\Acme\Demo\Controller\Demo', 'index'));

Controllers

Place your code in the src folder. All classes from here are autoloaded by their namespace. For an example, have a look in the demo code in src/Acme/demo/Controller/Demo.php. As you can see, the controller uses the namespace Acme\Demo\Controller., _(*8)

Templates

Templates are loaded by default from app/resouces/templates/. You can change this by editing the path in app/config/config.php., _(*9)
