Add new routes

To add new routes, you need to edit the src/Providers/RouteServiceProvider class.

Exammples:

$app->get('hello', new Route('/hello/{name}', ['_controller' => [HelloController::class, 'index']]));
$app->get('home',
            new Route(
                '/',
                [
                    '_controller' => [HomeController::class, 'index'],
                    'container' => new Psr11Container($app->getInjector())
                ]
            )
        );
$app->post('create_user',
            new Route(
                '/users',
                [
                    '_controller' => [UserController::class, 'store'],
                    'container' => new Psr11Container($app->getInjector())
                ]
            )
        );

How to connect to a database using eloquent ORM

Install eloquent ORM

composer require illuminate/database

Add the EloquenServiceProvider to the src/Providers/AppServiceProvider class to the config/app.php file in the providers array.

'providers' => [
        \Phpdominicana\Lightwave\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class,
       \Phpdominicana\Lightwave\Providers\TwigServiceProvider::class,
         \Phpdominicana\Lightwave\Providers\RouteServiceProvider::class,
         \Phpdominicana\Lightwave\Providers\EloquentServiceProvider::class
    ],

Then you can create you model and extend the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model class.

<?php
 
namespace Phpdominicana\Lightwave\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'users';
    protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'password'];
}
