Introduction to Fuel

Introduction to Fuel Phil Sturgeon philsturgeon.co.uk | @philsturgeon

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

It’s freaking brilliant!• Incredibly lightweight• Easy to learn• Huge community• Helpful forums• Backwards compatibility is key• Minimal dependencies• PHP 5.1.6

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

• Cascading ﬁle system• No namespacing - OAuth_Provider_Facebook - OAuthProvider_Facebook• Splintered: v2.4 versus v3.2• Great DB builder, not loving the ORM

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)

• 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>); } }

• Beautiful command line • Conventions through the nose• Interactive Debugging • How the f**k does that work• Package installation • Gem conﬂicts = AGGHHHH!• http://rubygems.org/ • Consult a wizard if it breaks• Scaffolding • ORM restrictions?• ORM - perfect for RAD

• Beautiful command line • No conventions• Interactive Debugging • Simple OOP• Package installation • Application speciﬁc packages• http://cells.fuelphp.com/ • Pretty exceptions• Scaffolding • Scaffold templates• ORM - perfect for RAD • DWTFYL ORM
