Tempest is a modern PHP framework for building full-stack web applications.
It aims to minimise framework-specific boilerplate, using attributes, automatic discovery and sensible defaults instead of extensive configuration.
The framework includes routing, dependency injection, database access, templating, authentication, validation and command-line tooling. Its components can also be installed independently in existing PHP projects.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Attribute-based routing with support for every HTTP method.
- Dynamic and optional route parameters, regular expression constraints and route model binding.
- Automatic discovery of routes, event handlers, console commands and other application components.
- Dependency injection container with autowiring and support for custom initializers.
- Built-in templating engine with components, slots, layouts, interpolation and control-flow directives.
- Support for alternative template engines including Blade and Twig.
- Database query builder and decoupled model architecture for SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL.
- Model relationships, migrations and automatic mapping between database records and typed objects.
- Flexible authentication for users, API keys, service accounts and other authenticatable models.
- Policy-based access control for defining fine-grained resource permissions.
- Data mapping and validation using typed objects and PHP attributes.
- Command bus, event bus and console command framework.
- Components for caching, mail, logging, storage, cryptography and key-value stores.
- HTTP client, OAuth support and Vite integration.
- Framework components can be used independently in other PHP applications.
