Setup

Prerequisites

• XAMP : instructions
• PHP/Copmoser : instructions

Setup New RudraX Project

If you are starting a fresh project simply follow these steps - Go to directoy where you want to create your project lests say "/Users/Lucas/Projects/" and run this command, _(*2)

$ composer create-project rudrax/project my_project

Or you can Manually Setup RudraX project or install RudraX in your existing project, _(*3)

Install in existing project

$ composer install rudrax/boot --save

Folder Structure

If you have used create-project command then this directory structure will be automatically created for you. Otherwise create it manually. and make sure build folder has correct permisson 0777, _(*4)

-app
  L controller  // Controller/URL Mapping for Project, name of file and class should match
  L model       //Models being Used in Porject
  L view        //Smart Templates
-config
  L project.properties //Project Properties
-build          // Build/Temporary Files created by Framwork, need write permissions
-src            // Folder for static files like javascript,html,css 
-lib            // composer library folder
-index.php
.htaccess
-composer.json  // set config->vendor-dir = lib

index File [index.php]

This file also gets created automatically if you have used create-project. Otherwise create it and copy the code in file, also copy .htaccess in you project., _(*5)

ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED);


require("./lib/autoload.php");
require_once("./lib/rudrax/boot/RudraX.php");

RudraX::invoke(array(
    'RX_MODE_MAGIC' => TRUE,
    'RX_MODE_DEBUG' => FALSE,
    'PROJECT_ROOT_DIR' => "./"
));

Documentaion

Now we are done with setup, lets start with how to write code in our project., _(*6)

Sample Controller [app/controller/MyController.php]

namespace app\controller {

    class MyController extends AbstractController
    {
        /**
         * @RequestMapping(url="login",method="GET",type="template")
         * @RequestParams(true)
         */
        public function login($model,$username,$password)
        {
            if($username == "user1" && $password == "xDddfdfd"){
              $this->user->setValid(TRUE);
              $this->user->role = "USER";
              $model->assign("username", $username);
              return "welcome"; // 'welcome' is path of smarty tempalte file in view folder
            } else {
              $this->user->setValid(FALSE);
               $model->assign("error", "Wrong credentials");
              return "login"; // 'login' is path of smarty tempalte file in view folder
            }
        }

        /**
         * @RequestMapping(url="myprofile",method="GET",type="template")
         * @RequestParams(true)
         */
        public function myprofile($model)
        {
            if($this->user->isValid()){
              $model->assign("username", $this->user->uname);
              return "user/myprofile"; // 'user/myprofile' is path of smarty tempalte file in view folder
            } else {
              $this->user->setValid(FALSE);
               $model->assign("error", "You need to login to view this page");
              return "login"; // 'login' is path of smarty tempalte file in view folder
            }
        }

        /**
         * @RequestMapping(url="info/school/{category}",method="GET",type="json")
         * @RequestParams(true)
         */
        public function schoolinfo($category)
        {
            if($this->user->isValid()){
              return array( "success" => true, "id" => 23,"name"=>"DAV Public School");
            } else {
              return array("success" => false,"error"=> "You need to login to view this info");
            }
        }

    }
}

Class Level Annotations - @Model - [sessionUser] - - sessionUser - if used then that model will be used as default Session user, Class must extend app\model\AbstractUser, _(*8)
