Description
A complete framework β built from the ground up
Axis brings together everything you expect from a modern PHP framework in one
clean, thoughtfully designed and thoroughly documented codebase β powered by
Helix, a custom template engine that raises the bar for expressiveness and
security. Thanks to a built-in PSR-4 autoloader, Axis runs without a single
composer install: clone it, run php axis serve, and you're live.
Why Axis?
Helix template engine
One @end closes every block. Plus pipe filters, tag components <x-alert>, context-aware escaping and source-mapped errors that point at the real .helix.php line.
Eloquent-class ORM
A fluent query builder, relationships, eager loading to kill N+1, local scopes, soft deletes, accessors/mutators, model events, factories & pagination.
Security out of the box
Session auth, gates & policies, CSRF protection, password hashing, AES-256 encryption, rate-limiting, CORS & security headers.
Everything real apps need
Service providers, cache, events & listeners, queues & jobs, a cron scheduler, mail, notifications, an HTTP client and file storage.
Expressive routing
Parameters, constraints, groups, named routes, RESTful resources, middleware and route-model binding.
A powerful CLI
The axis tool with 20+ commands: migrations, seeding, a queue worker, the scheduler, and generators for controllers, models, policies, jobs and more.
