cd my-app && npm install
npm run devThen open your browser at http://localhost:8000
Webrium's routing API will feel immediately familiar if you've used Laravel.
use Webrium\Route;
Route::get('/', function () {
return 'Hello, World!';
});
Route::get('/users', 'UserController@index');
Route::post('/users', 'UserController@store');
Route::get('/users/{id}', 'UserController@show');
Route::group(['prefix' => '/api', 'middleware' => 'AuthMiddleware@handle'], function () {
Route::get('/profile', 'ProfileController@index');
});<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
class UserController
{
public function index()
{
$users = User::all();
return view('users.index', compact('users'));
}
public function show($id)
{
return view('users.show', ['user' => User::find($id)]);
}
public function store()
{
User::create(input());
return ['status' => 'created'];
}
}The full documentation lives at webrium.dev/docs, organized into five sections:
- Getting Started — installation, configuration, request lifecycle
- Core — routing, controllers, requests/responses, sessions, validation, uploads, HTTP client, JWT, hashing, events, filesystem, localization, error handling
- Database — query builder, ORM, relationships, migrations, seeders
- Template Engine — syntax, layouts, components, hybrid caching
- Console — the
webriumCLI: scaffolding, migrations, plugins
The same documentation is also maintained as plain Markdown in the webrium/docs repository — useful for offline reading, contributing fixes, or integrating with AI assistants (an llms.txt and a Claude .skill package are bundled there).
Webrium is powered by webrium/core — a standalone PHP component library that can be used independently in any project.
Webrium is open-sourced software licensed under the MIT license.
