Quick Start

This guide will help you install PurePHP and create your first application.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1 or higher
• Composer

Installation

Using Composer

Run the following command in your project directory:

composer require yonlj/purephp

Verify Installation

Create a simple test file test.php:

<?php

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use function Pure\HTML\{div, h1, p};

div(
    h1('PurePHP Installation Successful'),
    p('Congratulations! PurePHP is correctly installed.')
)->toPrint();

Run the test file:

php test.php

If you see HTML output, the installation was successful.

Create Your First Application

1. Create Project Directory

mkdir my-purephp-app
cd my-purephp-app
composer require yonlj/purephp

2. Create Entry File

Create index.php:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use function Pure\HTML\{div, h1, p};

div(
    h1('My First PurePHP Application'),
    p('Welcome to PurePHP!'),
    p('This is a simple yet powerful PHP template engine.')
)->class('container')->toPrint();

3. Run the Application

Open index.php in a browser or use PHP's built-in server:

php -S localhost:8000

Then visit http://localhost:8000 to see your first PurePHP application!

Basic Examples

Using Components

Create a simple component:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use function Pure\HTML\{div, h2, p};

function Card($props) {
    [
        'title' => $title,
        'content' => $content
    ] = $props;

    return div(
        h2($title),
        p($content)
    )->class('card');
}

// Use the component
Card([
    'title' => 'Card Title',
    'content' => 'This is the card content'
])->toPrint();

Setting Attributes

<?php

use function Pure\HTML\div;

div('Content')
    ->class('container')
    ->style('background: #f0f0f0; padding: 20px;')
    ->data_id('main-content')
    ->toPrint();
