Spiral application does not require any specific structure or namespace for it's files until every application class can be loaded by composer, though spiral scaffolding and cache directories comes pre-configured. Default structure:
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| / | Base project directory (alias root). |
| /app/ | Base application directory with templates, classes, runtime cache and etc (alias application) |
| /app/classes/ | PSR4 root in your application composer file. |
| /app/classes/Bootloaders/ | Application and Service Bootloaders. |
| /app/classes/Commands/ | Application specific console commands. |
| /app/classes/Controllers/ | Controllers. |
| /app/classes/Database/ | Database models and repositories. |
| /app/classes/Middlewares/ | Http Middlewares. |
| /app/classes/Requests/ | RequestFilters (Validators). |
| /app/classes/Models/ | Up to you. |
| /app/config/ | Application and components configuration (alias config). |
| /app/resources/ | Backend resources (alias resources). |
| /app/resources/locales/ | Translations (alias locales). |
| /app/views/ | You can locate view files belongs to "default" namespace here (see views config). |
| /runtime/ | Runtime cache, logs and etc (alias runtime). |
| /runtime/cache/ | Runtime cache (i.e. shared memory) (alias cache). |
| /runtime/logs/ | Logs handled by LogManager component. |
| /vendor/ | Default composer directory. |
| /webroot/ | Public web directory (including index.php) (alias public). |
Spiral Framework bundle does not force any of default application namespace or strict structure except for http routing (see AppBootloader to change that), be free to add more abstractions when you need them.
Many of listed paths can be accessed using aliases, you can get directory alias using two similar methods:
public function indexAction(DirectoriesInterface $directories)
{
//You can use DirectoriesInterface
dump($directories->directory('runtime'));
//Works only in IoC scope
dump(directory('resources'));
}
You can overwrite directories at moment of core initialization.
