Checkout the wiki for detailed instructions.

Folder Structure

/

• app -> controllers , views
• cache
• includes -> db.php
• public -> assets, images

Instructions

Each web page of your app should have a controller and a view. Did I miss model? Yeah! Lets keep this framework simple. Write your controllers inside app/controllers folder, and write the view inside app/views folder.

When you visit, http://yourmicronsiteurl/pagename , the controller named pagename.php and view named pagename.php will be executed.

Also, you can create virtual routes, that can point to a controller or view.

Routes are defined in includes/routes.php file.
