Autoloading
CodefyPHP follows PSR-4 for autoloading libraries and packages through composer that you need to run and enhance your development environment. You need to require the autoloader file in a front controller (usually index.php).
Basic Example
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
Namespaces
The default namespace for Codefy is App and uses the app directory as its starting point which is set in the included composer.json file.
For example, if you have a controller named DashboardController.php located in app/Http/Controller directory, then the namespace would be App\Http\Controller\Dashboard.
Class Names
Class names should follow PSR-1, and should be written in StudlyCaps (i.e. DashboardController).
Class Properties
Based on the coding standards followed by the framework, property names should follow camelCase (i.e. $serverRequest).
Class Methods
Based on PSR-1, method names should follow camelCase (i.e. public function setRequestHandler()).
Function Names
Based on the coding standards followed by the framework, function names should follow under_score case (i.e. current_user_can()).
Strict Typing
The CodefyPHP framework follows a strict type principle, although not perfectly. Explicit typing of properties, methods and return values are strongly recommended which can help eliminate ambiguity regarding what a function, property, parameter or method expects to receive and/or return. You can enable strict mode in any PHP file, you will need to add the declare statement after the opening php tag:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
