Adding a controller

Adding a route

Database migrations with Phinx

create a new migration:

$ vendor/bin/phinx create AddNameToUsersTable

Edit the file /database/migrations/add_name_to_users_table.php to up() and down() change the database. Use the Laravel Schema definitions.

Execute a migration to the last version:

$ vendor/bin/phinx migrate

Go back one step:

$ vendor/bin/phinx rollback

Go back to the start

$ vendor/bin/phinx rollback -t 0

MigrationStub.php is the template file, Migration.php is the base-class file.

TODO

Open for improvement:

• Improve readme
  • how to add controllers
  • explain how to add routes
• improve bootstrap/app.php by better separating code to files or maybe even use some class system.
• increase number of tested units
• End to end test
• Some files are attached to the app with require_once wich is a bit messy. IDE's don't like this and code-completion fails. Maybe change this into a class hierarchy?
• Gut feeling says that the use of the container-array can be changed to a strong-typed system with interfaces (implements IClass)?
