marwa-framework

Architecture

Overview

Marwa Framework is intentionally small. The architecture is built around a few core responsibilities:

• Application: boots the container, environment, and core shared services
• HttpKernel: coordinates HTTP boot flow and request handling
• ConsoleKernel: builds the Symfony Console application and registers commands
• ProviderBootstrapper: registers configured service providers
• ModuleBootstrapper: loads marwa-module services, boots module providers, and integrates module routes, views, and console discovery
• MenuRegistry: collects application and module menu items and exposes the built main navigation tree
• MiddlewareBootstrapper: resolves and pushes middleware into the pipeline
• CommandRegistry: stores commands from config, code, and package integrations
• CommandDiscovery: resolves command classes from configured namespaces or PSR-4-mapped directories
• Adapters: connect the framework to router, logger, events, views, and error handling

Boot Flow

1. Application is created with the host app base path.
2. The container is initialized with reflection-based autowiring.
3. .env is loaded and core singletons are bound.
4. HttpKernel loads app config and delegates provider, module, and middleware setup to dedicated bootstrappers.
5. Module providers are booted, menu contributions are collected, module routes are loaded, and module view namespaces are registered when enabled.
6. The request enters RelayPipelineAdapter.
7. RouterMiddleware dispatches to marwa-router.
8. HttpKernel::terminate() emits the final response.

Console Boot Flow

1. Application loads the environment and binds shared services.
2. ConsoleKernel loads config/app.php and config/console.php.
3. ProviderBootstrapper registers application service providers and ModuleBootstrapper binds the module registry/runtime.
4. CommandRegistry collects built-in commands, configured commands, discovered commands, module commands, and optional package commands such as marwa-db.
5. ConsoleApplication boots the Symfony Console runtime and runs the selected command.

Extension Points

• Add service providers through config/app.php under providers
• Add global middleware through config/app.php under middlewares
• Register routes in routes/web.php or routes/api.php
• Add modules through config/module.php and module manifests under your configured module paths
• Register CLI commands through config/console.php or Application::registerCommand()
• Resolve loaded modules through Application::modules(), Application::hasModule(), and Application::module()
• Build shared navigation through Marwa\Framework\Navigation\MenuRegistry or the menu() helper
• Configure custom not-found handling with HttpKernel::setNotFound()
• Extend view, logger, and event behavior with their corresponding config files

Design Notes

• Internal framework code now prefers constructor-injected Config, Application, and contracts over facade access where practical
• Facades and global helpers remain available as consumer-facing convenience APIs
• Config contracts are formalized in src/Config/ so defaults and expected keys are centralized
