# BlendEngine

### PLEASE NOTE: This project is in development and not ready to be used in production.

BlendEngine is a web application framework written using Symfony Components.
Customized to sit somewhere between Silex and Symfony. It has several core
components for creating web applications and public facing websites.

### Current built-in functionality:

- Dependency Injection Container, and a Service Container.

- Routing: similar to Symfony and Silex.

- Modules: generic solution similar to Bundles in Symfony.

- Translation: for making the application multi-lingual.

- PostgreSQL: We only support PostgreSQL for obvious reasons.

- Data Models: Generic data mapper and builder for ORM, not Doctrine!

- Template: Support for Twig, and Raw PHP templates.

- JSON configuration: configuration files are in JSON, not .yml.

- PDF generation: Helps generating PDF files using wkhtml2pdf library.

- SwiftMailer: Provides functionality to send e-mails.

- Session Handling: Native (php native) session handling by default but
customizable to use Redis or Memcache

- Text and JSON Response: Creates the correct HTTP response based on
controller/action return values

- Security: Simplified security handling for Form based authentication.

- Roles: Simplified Role handling to tie a Route to a role

- Event Dispatching: Same as Silex and Symfony

- Form Processing: Easy Form processing, included built-in POST->Redirect-GET

- JSON API: Built-in functionality to create JSON (REST-ish) APIs

## Requirements

BlendEngine requires the following componenets:

- PHP 5.6 : Is required and must be available from the command prompt.
- composer : Is required and must be available from the command prompt.
- compass : Required if you want to be able to compile the sass files to css
- PostgreSQL : Required if your application needs to work with a database (We don't support MySQL)
