WHAT IS MEEK

------------

It's a humble & lightweight PHP engine to build small websites.

Meek maps directly URL to files and templates with a neat fallback system.

HOW TO USE MEEK

------------

1. Download or git clone [email protected]:folletto/Meek.git

2. Edit .htaccess

3. Write your templates inside templates/ folder.

4. Write your content in pages/ folder.

5. (optional) Write any constant variable in cfg.json.

MEEK URL MAPPING

----------------

If we imagine Meek installed at http://example.org/app/, in its simplest form the

URL mapping does this:

* URL: http://example.org/app/path/to/file

* Loads: pages/path.to.file.php

* With the template from: templates/tpl.path.to.file.php

Simple right?

It does also a couple other tricks:

1. PAGES AUTO-FALLBACK  

If pages/path.to.file.php is missing, it will try to load, in order:  

pages/path.to.php  

pages/path.php  

pages/404.php  

In this way you can build a kind of controller that reads the next URL token from 

the pre-parsed array at: $this->virtual_uri and load the named item.

2. TEMPLATES AUTO-FALLBACK  

If templates/tpl.path.to.file.php is missing, it will try to load (like pages), in order:  

templates/tpl.path.to.php  

templates/tpl.path.php  

templates/tpl.php  

In this way you can control very well what's going to appear on each page.

You can even create a templates/tpl.api.php template that returns JSON or XML and build

a simple API.
