Luxid is a lightweight, modern PHP framework designed with simplicity and speed in mind. Built for developers who want full control over their application architecture, Luxid provides a clean routing system, a flexible screen rendering engine, and an elegant structure for building powerful applications in a custom architecture called SEA [Screen(View) - Entities(Models) - Actions(Controllers)]
Luxid focuses on:
- Clear and expressive routing
- Simple and intuitive actions (controllers)
- A lightweight screen/template engine (
.nova.php) - Easy request/response handling
- Minimal setup, maximum flexibility
Luxid removes the unnecessary complexity of large frameworks and gives developers a clean, enjoyable development experience.
- Fast routing engine with support for GET/POST and callbacks
- Action-based controllers (cleaner than classical MVC)
- Simple
.nova.phpscreen rendering system - Framework-level request sanitization
- Extensible architecture
- Easily readable, elegant syntax
- Zero-dependency core (other than Composer autoloading)
Luxid is ideal for small-to-medium web apps, APIs, school management systems, dashboards, and learning modern PHP framework design.
Luxid includes clear documentation (coming soon) and is intentionally designed to be beginner-friendly for developers learning framework architecture.
A step-by-step guide and examples will be available soon in the /docs directory.
Until then, you can explore:
- The
screens/folder – UI screens - The
actions/folder – controllers system/– the framework core (Router, Request, Response, Action, etc.)
