Mod(ern)(Ko)seven Framework

What is this project for?

This project is in development state and not finished yet

Initially this was for personal use only. But it happens that there were more and more requests if original "Koseven" would support namespaces and PSR. As it does not since it needs to be compatible with "Kohana" this repo was created.

When should i use this Project instead of Koseven

If you create a new Application and are familiar with Kohana/Koseven or just love how those frameworks work, chances are high Modseven will also fit. If you update a legacy Kohana application, Modseven is the wrong choice - use Koseven instead.

But also ask you those questions before choosing:

• Do i need namespaces / PSR - Use Modseven
• Do i want to be up-to date in terms of technology used? - Use Modseven
• Do i need backwards compatibility? - Use Koseven
• Do i need a many 3rd party modules? - Use Koseven

Also check the differences below.

What are the differences to Koseven?

Although it is quite similar to Koseven there are a few changes:

1. Namespaces - Modseven uses the namespace KO7 for system files and is completely working with namespaces.
2. Autoloader removed and moved to native composer PSR-4 autoloader.
3. The bootstrap.php got moved. It's now called routes.php and only contains routes. Configuration is done via the config/app.php file.
4. Transparent classes + CSF got removed, they are not needed since namespaces are used.
5. Code formatting

Note: All patches and features introduced in original "Koseven" will also be patched here.

Documentation

Modseven documentation is basically the same as Koseven with just a few changes (described above).

Koseven Documentation can be found at docs.koseven.ga which also contains an API browser.

Will work as drop-in of Kohana / Koseven?

No. Also original modules won't be compatible.
