Jollof

This is a very lighweight PHP framework built to cater to very busy backend-developers who have very little time to deliver on the job. It is also very configurable as most of the boilerplate code you need to get up and running on a serious project has already been baked in. Web development has never been this easy!

The aim of the framework is to make it very easy to develop applications with little or no friction as regards the ever changing landscape of web development.

Quick Start

It's important to note that Jollof requires no Installation so to speak to start using it. In the event that one wishes to use it to develop an ap

1. Firstly, spin up terminal or console window and run the command below

$ php jollof docs

2. Next, click the blue GO TO APP button at the top right corner of the page that loads in the (your default) browser.

Setting Up

The philosophy of Jollof is very simple. Routes are very tightly knitted to the Controllers that service them. For every route, the first part of the URI and/or path is the Controller class name and the second part of the URI and/or path is the Controller class method or the action. This is exactly similar to what you have for default routes in ASP.NET MVC.

For more on getting up and running, see the easydocs mark down file.

All you need to setup can be found in the documentation folder(s) of the project starter folder.
