Packages
MonkeysLegion follows a “small, sharp package” philosophy: each concern lives in its own Composer library, so you only install what you need and keep dependency graphs lean.
Layer | Package | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
Foundation | monkeyslegion/**core** | Helper functions, CORS middleware, route loader |
| monkeyslegion/**di** | PSR-11 auto-wiring container |
| monkeyslegion/**mlc** | Human-friendly .mlc config loader |
Web stack | monkeyslegion/**router** | Attribute-based routing, PSR-15 dispatcher |
| monkeyslegion/**http** | Middleware runner, content negotiation, OpenAPI export |
| monkeyslegion/**template** | MLView engine: components, slots, compile-to-PHP templates |
| monkeyslegion/**dev-server** | Hot-reload local server (ml serve) |
Data | monkeyslegion/**database** | Thin PDO wrapper with reconnect & helpers |
| monkeyslegion/**entity** | Attribute-mapped entities + scanner |
| monkeyslegion/**query** | Fluent QueryBuilder & micro-ORM repositories |
| monkeyslegion/**migration** | Schema diff → SQL migration generator & runner |
Security | monkeyslegion/**auth** | Password hashing, JWT login, policy-based authorization |
Validation & UX | monkeyslegion/**validation** | DTO binder + attribute constraints (422 on fail) |
| monkeyslegion/**i18n** | JSON-file translations + @lang() directive |
Ops & Observability | monkeyslegion/**events** | PSR-14 event bus |
| monkeyslegion/**telemetry** | Prometheus / StatsD / Null metrics façade |
Tooling | monkeyslegion/**cli** | vendor/bin/ml scaffolders, migrations, keygen, cache |
| monkeyslegion/**skeleton** | Starter repo that pulls in the most common set |
Tip: The Skeleton project already includes everything under Foundation, Web, Data, Security, and Tooling—perfect for green-field apps. Add the others à-la-carte.

Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
Stable | API frozen; only bug-fixes and security patches expected. |
Beta | Minor breaking changes possible before 1.0. |
Alpha | Early preview; expect rapid iteration. |
Future packages (Mail, Cache, Queue) are Alpha until first production release.
