Silex fat cousin

What is Fatso?

Silex is great micro-framework, but it's sometimes just too simple. Fatso is his fat cousin.
It provides very simple, basic classes and automates few things., _(*1)

Fatso can:, _(*2)

• detect environment based on host name
• load config files (plain PHP arrays, or YAML) and merge thme with their env variants
• perform simple bootstrap of Silex providers
• load routes from config file

Fatso is ugly., _(*3)

Fast class overview

TL;DR - goto: demo, _(*4)

Config

Config loads files from $app['config.dir'] path.
It also uses env name to merge basic config with it's env variant., _(*5)

Config can load PHP, or YML files., _(*6)

Example:, _(*7)

config/foo.yml:, _(*8)

foo:
    name: bar
    env: null

config/foo_dev.php:, _(*9)

<?php
return array(
  'foo' => array(
    'env' => 'dev',
  ),
);

$config = $app['config']->get('foo');
/*
$config = array(
  'foo' => array(
    'name' => 'bar',
    'env' => 'dev',
  ),
);
 */

Env

Performs simple environment detection based on host name.
Before running env variable $app['env.host'] must be set., _(*10)

$app['env']->get(); // return current env name or NULL if not detected
$app['env']->getEnvironments(); // returns list of declared environments.

Environments are defined in config file named env:, _(*11)

dev: /\.local\.com$/
prod: //

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is responsible for env detection, Silex providers registration and route registration., _(*12)

Routes are defined in config file named routing:, _(*13)

<?php
return array(
  'main' => array(
    'pattern' => '/',
    'controller' => 'App:Main:index', // resolves to: \App\Controller\Main::index
    'method' => 'get', // can be set to: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, or MATCH. Default is GET
  ),
);

To register some providers in config dir must be created folder named bootstrap with providers config files., _(*14)

Sample provider config file:, _(*15)

\Silex\Provider\TwigServiceProvider:
  twig.path: 'view/'
