## Installation
### 1. Clone or unzip the project
```bash
unzip sysmvc.zip -d sysmvc
cd sysmvc
```
2️⃣ Install Dependencies
Use Composer to install the project dependencies:
### 2. Install PHP dependencies
```bash
composer install
```
3️⃣ Configure the Environment
Copy the .env.example file to .env and configure your environment variables:
### 3. Configure the environment
```bash
cp .env.example .env

DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=your_database_name
DB_USERNAME=your_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_password
```
4️⃣ Set Permissions
Change the permissions for the storage and cache directories to ensure the web server can write to them:
### 4. Set directory permissions
```bash
chmod -R 775 storage
chmod -R 775 cache
chmod -R 775 logs
chmod -R 775 bootstrap/cache
```
5️⃣ Generate the Application Key
### 5. Generate the application key
```bash
php bin/console generate:app-key
```
6️⃣ Run Migrations
### 6. Set up the database
Run the migrations to create the tables in the database:
Create the database manually or run the sample migration command:
php bin/console migrate
```bash
php bin/console migrate:crudexample
```
7️⃣ Configure the Web Server
📌 Apache
### 7. Configure the web server
Add the following configuration to your Apache configuration file:
**Apache** — add a virtual host pointing to the `public/` directory:
```apache

## Routing
For more information, contact: marcocosta@gmx.com
Routes are defined in `routes/web.php` using Pecee SimpleRouter syntax.
### Support the Project

### Example routes
[![Donate via PayPal](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif)](https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=marcocosta@gmx.com&currency_code=USD)
```php
Router::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');
Router::get('/about', function () { ... })->name('about');
Router::post('/crudexample', [CrudExampleController::class, 'store'])->name('crudexample.store');
```

### Route groups
```php
Router::group(['prefix' => '/crudexample'], function () {
Router::get('/', 'CrudExampleController@index')->name('crudexample.index');
Router::get('/create', 'CrudExampleController@create')->name('crudexample.create');
Router::get('/edit/{id}', 'CrudExampleController@edit')->name('crudexample.edit');
Router::post('/store', 'CrudExampleController@store')->name('crudexample.store');
Router::post('/update/{id}', 'CrudExampleController@update')->name('crudexample.update');
Router::post('/delete/{id}', 'CrudExampleController@delete')->name('crudexample.delete');
Router::get('/show/{id}', 'CrudExampleController@show')->name('crudexample.show');
});
```
404 errors are handled by a global error handler that renders `resources/views/errors/404.html`.
---
## Security
SysMVC includes multiple security layers, all applied automatically.
### Security Headers (`BaseController`)
Applied to every controller that extends `BaseController`:
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
| `Content-Security-Policy` | `default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'; style-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:` |
| `X-Frame-Options` | `DENY` |
| `X-Content-Type-Options` | `nosniff` |
| `Referrer-Policy` | `no-referrer` |
| `Strict-Transport-Security` | `max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload` |
### CSRF Protection
Tokens are generated per session via `generateCsrfToken()` in `bootstrap/csrf.php`. Include the hidden field in forms with:
```php
<?= csrf() ?>
<!-- or -->
<input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?= getCsrfToken() ?>">
```
### Input Sanitisation
All form inputs are sanitised through `Sanitizer::sanitizeInput()` before storage. Output escaping is applied via `Sanitizer::sanitizeOutput()` before rendering.
### Password Storage
Passwords are hashed with `password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT)` before being persisted.
