  • Slim

    Slim Framework 4 Skeleton Application

    One framework I haven't seen mentioned here is Slim. It's a great micro framework if you only need to build a simple API. It supports the most important PSR's and it's great as glue to hook up other libraries.

    Source code for technex.us - A simple blogging website written in Divergence

    It's fully unit tested and I use it for my personal blog.

  • select2

    Select2 is a jQuery based replacement for select boxes. It supports searching, remote data sets, and infinite scrolling of results.

    Sometimes I still import it for only one thing : select2 that depends on it. Does anyone have an alternative ? I'd love it

  • framework

    PHP Framework providing ActiveRecord models and out of the box CRUD controllers with versioning and ORM support (by Divergence)

    I did implement PSR7 in the develop branch though.

  • framework

    FEAST Framework (by FeastFramework)

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
