Viewi
Powerful tool for building full-stack and completely reactive user interfaces using PHP
Imagine Vue js or Angular but in PHP world with the similar user-friendly html templates and components, the application that acts like frontend framework and backend template engine at the same time and renders identical contents on both sides. And you don't even need Node js. Isn't it awesome ?
Short example:
Counter.php
<?php
namespace Application\Components\Views\Demo\SimpleComponent;
use Viewi\BaseComponent;
class Counter extends BaseComponent
{
public int $count = 0;
public function increment()
{
$this->count++;
}
}
Counter.html
<button (click)="increment()">Clicked $count times.</button>
Use it as a tag:
<Counter />
Stage: PoC
Not production ready yet, as it's in development and still needs a lot of work
Requirements: php 7.4 or 8.0+
Supported versions will be expanded in the future
