This is a full-stack application built with PHP and MySQL. It is a simple client manager that allows you to add, edit, and delete clients and their addresses.

There aren't a lot of recent resources online when it comes to using pure PHP in 2024, so I wrote a blog post sharing the things I learned.

The application has the following structure:

• public/index.php is the application's entry point, where the autoloader is required and the application is started.
• src/Core contains the application core, such as implementing the Router, Database, Renderer, etc.
• src/Handlers contains the request handlers for the application routes.
  • GET requests call the handler loader method if it exists
  • POST requests call the action method if it exists.
  • Handlers can also have a render method to render the HTML template.
• src/Middleware contains the middleware classes such as Auth and Guest middlewares for protected routes.
• src/templates contains the HTML templates rendered with Plates.
• src/routes.php registers the application routes and their handlers.
• src/utils.php contains helper functions like dd for debugging.

1. Make sure you have Docker installed:

docker -v

2. Start the application and the database with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

3. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8888.

1. Make sure you have PHP 8.*, Composer, and Docker installed:

php -v
composer -v
docker -v

2. Install the dependencies:

composer install

3. Start the database with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d db

This command will start a MySQL database on port :3306.

You can also use a local version of MySQL, just make sure to update the .env file with your database credentials.

4. Start the application:

composer start

This command will copy the .env.example file to .env and start the PHP built-in server.

5. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8888.

To stop the Docker containers, run:

docker-compose down -v --rmi all

This will stop the containers, remove the volumes, and delete the images.
