Getting Started

AppSkeleton is designed to be easy to use and extend. After installing the framework, you can create a new controller by extending the AppController class and defining your routes in the routes.php file. You can then create your views using the built-in templating engine and access your models using the database abstraction layer.

Here's an example of a simple controller:

<?php

use App\Core\AppController;

class HomeController extends AppController
{
    public function index()
    {
        $this->view('home/index', ['title' => 'Welcome to AppSkeleton']);
    }
}

In this example, we've created a new controller called HomeController that extends the AppController class. We've defined a single method called index that renders a view called home/index and passes in a variable called title.
