Luminova is a PHP framework built for speed and efficiency, designed to enhance your existing coding skills. At Luminova, we prioritize performance by offering feature customization through the env file. This ensures the framework includes only what's needed for your project, based on the features you enable. This approach allows you to enable or disable features as well as customizing your preferred template rendering mode and coding style.

Luminova, provide access to the template View object within the view files, allowing you to call template methods and properties using $this keyword within template files. This can be disabled if you prefer your views to be rendered in isolation, disabling it will allow you to access exported application classes using custom keyword $self.

<?php 
$router->get('/', 'YourController::index');

Q: My session works on the development server but not on the production server.

• A: In production, update the $sessionDomain in /app/Config/Session.php to your actual production domain. A quick fix is to use '.' . APP_HOST. Also, don't forget to update the Cookie.php configuration accordingly.

Q: My CSS and images are broken on the production server.

• A: Make sure you set the app.environment.mood key to production in your environment file when deploying to production. This small step ensures your assets are served correctly.
