Derafu: Backbone - The Architectural Spine for PHP Libraries

Derafu Backbone is a lightweight architectural framework that provides a consistent structure for building modular, maintainable PHP libraries.

Features

• Hierarchical Organization: Clear structure with Packages, Components, and Workers.
• Separation of Concerns: Jobs for atomic operations, Handlers for orchestration, Strategies for implementation variants.
• Attribute-Based Discovery: Use PHP 8 attributes instead of rigid namespace conventions.
• Extensible Architecture: Designed to grow with your application.

Key Benefits

• Consistent Structure: Standardized approach to organizing domain logic.
• Reduced Complexity: Clear responsibilities for each architectural element.
• Improved Testability: Isolated components are easier to test.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Common vocabulary and patterns for development teams.
• Flexible Implementation: Adapt to different domains without changing the core architecture.

Installation

composer require derafu/backbone
