If you're already familiar with other PHP MVC frameworks, then setup will be a breeze. If you're literally just getting started with MVC frameworks, no worries! Our documentation site can answer many questions and provides a wealth of examples.
To create a new site with the STAPLE MVC Framework either download a released version or pull a recent copy of
master or development. Put these files in your base web directory and point your server to the /public folder
to start serving a website.
You will need a few things for the server to be able to process your site:
Both IIS (web.config) and Apache (.htaccess) rewrite rules are included in the repository. For nginx, you will have to add the following in your server configuration for nginx:
location / {
index index.php index.html index.htm;
try_files $uri $uri/ @staple;
}
location @staple
{
rewrite ^(.*)$ /index.php last;
}
STAPLE also has support for composer. It has no dependencies out of the gate, so composer is an optional feature to add any dependencies that you might require. Simply add the dependencies to the included composer.json file.
More information about composer can be found at getcomposer.org.
