Rack — A framework, typically with rails, bars, hooks, or pegs, for holding or storing things.
Rack is a small and simple boilerplate/framework for PHP based web applications that are integrated with the login API of the Cover website. It aims to ease the creation of websites or microservices that only need a small number of forms, tables and views and to provide a familiar project structure among most of Cover's PHP projects. Additionally, anybody with basic OOP skills and a basic understanding of the web should be able to easily comprehend the framework and setup a website.

Clone (or fork or download) the Bitbucket repository into the root folder of your project and you're ready to go!
Projects using Rack adhere to the following structure:
📁 Project ├ 📁 include │ ├ 📁 models │ │ ├ 📁 migrations │ │ ├ Model.class.php │ │ └ … (model definitions) │ ├ config.php │ ├ include.php │ └ … (other Rack logic php files) ├ 📁 static │ ├ 📁 css │ ├ 📁 js │ ├ 📁 img │ └ … (other static content) ├ 📁 templates │ ├ error.phtml │ ├ index.phtml │ ├ layout.phtml │ └ … (templates for other views) ├ index.php └ … (other views)
The include folder is meant Rack's internal logic and possible application-specific extensions to it. It should not contain any views, templates or static files.
