Codefii is a superfast micro-framework, the first of its kind delivered as a general purpose framework to give acces and control and security to web Ninjas. Just as the name implies, codefii is a general purpose framework, it's doesn't force you to write in a particular pattern, once you have a prior knowledge of php you are good to go.

firstly you need it installed on your system, its easy as typing the following command in your terminal by typing in the below code

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer|php

after installing composer, launch your terminal or cmd, and type “composer” to check if it’s installed, you will see

2. Composer

that show it’s installed. After getting all the required tools installed, the next thing is to get Codefii components installed in your working directory. For composer users, type the following command in your terminal through your working directory:

always clear your cache after installing composer by typing

`composer create-project –prefer-dist codefii/codefii (your projectname)`

`composer create-project –prefer-dist codefii/codefii myblog`

All the configuration files for Codefii framework is stored at **Database/Config**

<?php
$GLOBALS['config'] =  array(
'mysql'=>array(
'host'=>'127.0.0.1',
'username'=>'xxxxx',
'password'=>'prince',
'database'=>'codefi',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetadata' => true,
'log' => false,
'port'=>8080
);

<?php
Session::set('user',Request::get('email'));
Session::register();

<?php
if(Session::isRegistered()){
echo Session::get('user');//this would echo the session value
}

//checking if session is destroyed
if(Session::isDestroyed()){
    Redirect::to('index');
}

What the above code does is to set a session key and value and register it

Routing lets you create your own URL paths, based on the path you can load a controller and its method. The routes is located in Routes directory

<?php
$router = new Network\Router\Router();
$router->dispatch($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

The first two lines of codde defined in your Routes doesn't need to be tampered with.

Imagine for instance we have a controller with the name Hello and a method index extending the base controller class Controller. We want to access our controller's method index on the browser upon page load

<?php
$router = new Network\Router\Router();
$router->routes('',['controller'=>'Hello','action'=>'index']);
$router->dispatch($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

Regular express here is the same as the one you know. However, we only cover a little part of the Regex here. When defining a routes paramaters such as Post ID in a registered URL: e.g localhost/codefii/post/33 here is how to go about it:

<?php
$router = new Network\Router\Router();
$router->routes('post/{id:\d+}',['controller'=>'Hello','action'=>'post']);
$router->dispatch($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
    

The reason for \d+ is because you are setting a defined rule that will accept only integers

In a case whereby you want to pass a set of alphanumeric characters as URL paramaters for instance localhost/codefii/blog/hWdid23094ddj3SdD3k here is how to achieve it in regular expression

<?php

class Hello extends Controller {
 public function post(){
     echo $this->route_params['user_id'];
 }
}

In standard php, if we are to rewrite localhost/codefii/blog/hWdid23094ddj3SdD3k, this will be localhost/codefii/blog.php?user_id=hWdid23094ddj3SdD3k. From our regular expression, we defined user_id to be a set of all possible alphanumeric characters inclding white spaces

Codefeii provides a unique way of ridirecting to other pages after a given action has been performed. When using the Redirect classs, the method to which specifies the end point of the routing is called. Here is how it can be implemented

<?php
Redirect::to('profile');

The controller is responsible for handling the user interface and application. It is responsible for rendering response with the aid of both the model and the view structure. In my case I choose to call the controller the boss because he ensures a sanitized ineteraction between the model and the view. The controller is where all the validation rules is been executed before sending data to the model for processing.

namespace Codefii\Controller;
use Network\Controller\Controller;
class HomeController extends Controller{
    public function index(){
        //do something here
    }
}

In codefii, you can aswell perfom a database interaction in the controller without having to create any model class to handle your queries / database interaction. In our case, we choose to call such query style Surface Query simply because the controller can render a raw data to the view or to a web page without any view file being created. Take for instance

<?php
use Network\Controller\Controller;
class MyApp extends Controller{
    public function index(){
        echo "welcome to my first codefii app";
    }
}

Then if you want to display some record from databse using the controller here is how to go about it

<?php
use Network\Controller\Controller;
use Network\Model\Model;
class MyApp extends Controller{
    public function index(){
        $users = Model::getDb()->query("SELECT * FROM users")->results();
        var_dump($users);
    }
}
