First App

Keeping it simple

• The default controller is called home
• The default controller action is index this relates directly to a public function in the controller:
• The simplest controller would be:

    <?php
    class hello extends Controller {
        function index() {
            print 'hello<br />';

        }

    }

• hello - sample controller
  • The sample controller constructs a page using bootstrap
  • More about the pages class here

    <?php
        class hello extends Controller {
            function index() {
                $p = new dvc\pages\bootstrap;
                    $p
                        ->header()
                        ->title();
                        
                    $p->primary();
                        print 'hello<br />';
                        
                    $p->secondary();
                        print 'secondary';
               
        }
        
    }
    

TIP: Disabling Documentation

• If you create a controller called docs - it will disable this documentation, which on a production application may be what you want
• Alternatively : Create a folder in your application/views folder - docs
  • ie: application/views/docs and create content there, start with contents.md which will disable the docs folder
