Introduction to Fuel
7 likes2,554 views
Fuel is a PHP framework that is lightweight, easy to learn, and has a large community. It is based on CodeIgniter but improved for PHP5 with classes, autoloading, and namespaces. Features include a cascading filesystem, modules, packages, commands, migrations, ORM, and template support for Twig and others. The presenter discusses how Fuel compares favorably to other frameworks like Symfony and Ruby on Rails.

Introduction to Fuel
- 1. Introduction to Fuel Phil Sturgeon philsturgeon.co.uk | @philsturgeon
- 2. WTF is Fuel? • A “new” PHP framework • “Combines the best of multiple frameworks” • Fresh start • PHP 5.3 only • Made by a bunch of CodeIgniter guys
- 4. It’s freaking brilliant! • Incredibly lightweight • Easy to learn • Huge community • Helpful forums • Backwards compatibility is key • Minimal dependencies • PHP 5.1.6
- 5. It’s PHP5ier! • Still lightweight • Everything is a class • No more $ci =& get_instance(); • PHP 5 autoloading - no loader! CodeIgniter Fuel $this->load->library('session'); Session::get('foo'); $this->session->userdata('foo'); • Authentication + Hierarchal MVC (HMVC) • “Everything” is a driver
- 6. • Cascading file system • No namespacing - OAuth_Provider_Facebook - OAuthProvider_Facebook • Splintered: v2.4 versus v3.2 • Great DB builder, not loving the ORM
- 7. We stole it! • Improved Cascading File System Autoloader::add_classes(array( 'Mongo_OdmCollection' => __DIR__.'/classes/collection.php', 'Mongo_OdmDatabase' => __DIR__.'/classes/database.php', 'Mongo_OdmDocument' => __DIR__.'/classes/document.php', 'Mongo_OdmJSON' => __DIR__.'/classes/json.php', )); • Added Namespacing class Config extends FuelCoreConfig {} • Modules = Routable ‘mini-applications’ • Packages = Installable ‘gem’-like class collections • Recycled a few other bits • Views • OAuth • Num (Credit card masking and other bits)
- 8. • Command-line tools • Database Migrations and ORM bundled in • Twig = awesome parser • Namespaces by the metric fuck-ton namespace AcmeHelloBundleController; use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationResponse; class HelloController { public function indexAction($name) { return new Response('<html><body>Hello '.$name.'!</ body></html>'); } }
