I built a lightweight Laravel-inspired PHP MVC framework called Larite. Would love feedback from experienced devs.

#php #laravel #developer #webdev

Hi developers,

I’m excited to share Larite, a lightweight PHP MVC framework inspired by Laravel. It’s designed for developers who want the elegance of Laravel without the full overhead.

Key features:

Laravel-style routing and controller structure

Middleware support with $request and $next

Eloquent-like relationships (hasOne, hasMany, belongsTo) with planned eager loading

CSRF protection and secure session handling

Blade-inspired view rendering

Built-in helpers for validation, pagination, and file handling

Fully modular and extendable

I’ve built it to be simple, fast, and perfect for small to medium projects where Laravel might feel too heavy. The framework is actively maintained, and I’m open to feedback and contributions.

If you’re curious, check it out, try it, and let me know your thoughts. Would love to hear how others would use it!
