Wordpress MVC Abstraction Layer (Slim/Twig)

SlimVC

This is a lightweight MVC Abstraction Layer on top of Wordpress; SlimVC is not a Framework that wrapps the Wordpress API like Themosis does, it is a set of tools that lets you configure your Wordpress application's custom post types, taxonomies, image-sizes, sidebars, menus, page-templates and custom routes.

You will write better, maintainable and extensible code by using the MVC paradigm.

• no more PHP / HTML string concatenation
• no archive-{$post-type}.php and other templates
• No more mixing data-aggregation, business-logic and template code.

slimvc's Issues

Implement Middleware Interface

Implement a Middleware Facade for SlimVC -> Slim.

http://docs.slimframework.com/#Middleware-Overview

Create a JSON-Response superclass

Would be a nice feature to extend from a JSON class.

Implement custom(izable) Error handler

Build a facade for Slim's Error Handler So a developer is able to bypass Slim's own logging & error-pages.
Implement it for different application-modes (e.g. debug:true).
