Viewi

Powerful tool for building full-stack and completely reactive user interfaces using PHP

Imagine Vue js or Angular but in PHP world with the similar user-friendly html templates and components, the application that acts like frontend framework and backend template engine at the same time and renders identical contents on both sides. And you don't even need Node js. Isn't it awesome ?

Works with a limited subset of PHP, but even then it is still more than enough for building progressive web applications.

Short example:

Counter.php

<?php

namespace Application\Components\Views\Demo\SimpleComponent;

use Viewi\BaseComponent;

class Counter extends BaseComponent
{
    public int $count = 0;

    public function increment()
    {
        $this->count++;
    }
}

Counter.html

<button (click)="increment()">Clicked $count times.</button>

Use it as a tag:

<Counter />

Live demo

Requirements: php 7.4+

Supported versions will be expanded in the future

Under the hood Viewi translates view components into the javascript, and uses it for front end reactive application.
