Class Tipy

Main class to run application

// public/dispatcher.php
require('Tipy.php');
Tipy::run();

Setup

The most easiest way to setup new tipy project is to clone https://github.com/smetana/tipy-project repository. It is an empty tipy aplication skeleton

Routing

Tipy uses .htaccess .htaccess for routing. .htaccess' RewriteRules rewrite all request urls to something like:

dispatcher.php?controller=my&method=my_action&... # => MyController::myAction()

All query string parameters are preserved on url rewite.

controller parameter represents controller class with:

• snake_case converted to CamelCase (first letter in upper case)
• plural/singular form is preserved
• word "Controller" is added to the end

source_code => SourceCodeController
blog_posts  => BlogPostsController

action parameter represents controller's method with:

• snake_case converted to camelCase (first letter in lower case)
• plural/singular form is preserved

open_source => openSource()
show_posts  => showPosts()

Predefined Routes

tipy-project has a set of predefined rules so you don't need to rewrite urls to dispatcher.php. It is enough to rewrite urls to one of the following form:

/:controller              # /source_code               => SourceCodeController::index();
/:controller/:action      # /source_code/open_source   => SourceCodeController::openSource();
/:controller/:action/:id  # /source_code/line_number/3 => SourceCodeController::lineNumber($id = 3);
