Fabric Framework

Welcome to the Fabric Framework, a comprehensive port of Laravel's Illuminate components to Dart. Fabric aims to provide a robust, scalable, and feature-rich framework for building modern web applications using Dart.

Overview

Fabric is designed to mirror Laravel's Illuminate components, ensuring a familiar structure for developers accustomed to Laravel while leveraging Dart's modern language features. The framework consists of various packages that collectively offer a complete solution for web development.

Goals

1. Maintain Laravel's Structure: Keep the directory and component structure identical to Laravel, but adhere to Dart best practices.
2. Ensure Modularity: Port each Illuminate component as a separate Dart package for modular usage.
3. Enable Rapid Development: Provide a running base application quickly to facilitate real-time testing and development.

Key Features

• Modular Packages: Each Illuminate component is available as a standalone Dart package.
• Comprehensive Routing: Powerful routing capabilities inspired by Laravel.
• Dependency Injection: Built-in support for dependency injection to promote loose coupling.
• Middleware Support: Use middleware for filtering HTTP requests entering your application.
• Authentication & Authorization: Robust tools for user authentication and authorization.
• Database Abstraction: Database-agnostic query builder and ORM.
• Queueing System: Manage background tasks and queues.
• Event Broadcasting: Real-time event broadcasting for modern applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Usage

Fabric is structured to be as familiar as possible to Laravel developers. Here’s a quick example of setting up a simple application:

1. Create a New Dart File:

   import 'package:fabric/fabric.dart';
   
   void main() {
     final app = Application();
   
     app.get('/', (Request req) {
       return Response.ok('Hello, World!');
     });
   
     app.run();
   }
   

2. Run the Application:

   dart run
