A modern, lightweight Content Management System (CMS) built with PHP and JavaScript, designed for flexibility and ease of use. This CMS follows SOLID principles and leverages an MVC architecture, utilizing PHP libraries like Laravel's Eloquent ORM, Twig templating, and a simple router, combined with a robust front-end setup using Webpack, Bootstrap, and jQuery.
Current Version: 1.1.0 (SOLID Refactoring Release)
This CMS has been refactored to follow SOLID design principles for better maintainability and testability:
- Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): Each class has one reason to change
- Open/Closed Principle (OCP): Classes are open for extension, closed for modification
- Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): Subtypes are substitutable for their base types
- Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Clients depend only on methods they use
- Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): High-level modules don't depend on low-level modules
The application uses a service layer with dependency injection:
- Services: Business logic separated into focused, testable units
- Interfaces: Define contracts for services, enabling easy mocking and testing
- Dependency Injection: Controllers receive their dependencies through constructors
- Separation of Concerns: Views, business logic, and data access are properly separated
- SOLID Architecture: Clean, maintainable code following SOLID design principles.
- Service Layer: Business logic separated into focused, testable services.
- Dependency Injection: Loose coupling between components for better testability.
- MVC Architecture: Organized structure with Core and App namespaces for clean code separation.
- Database Support: Uses Laravel's Eloquent ORM (
illuminate/database) for database interactions. - Templating: Powered by Twig (
twig/twig) for dynamic and secure template rendering. - Routing: Simple and fast routing with
pecee/simple-router. - Front-End: Built with Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and Webpack for modern, responsive UI.
- Additional Tools:
- PDF generation with
mpdf/mpdf. - Image processing with
spatie/image. - JWT authentication with
firebase/php-jwt. - Environment configuration with
vlucas/phpdotenv.

Before setting up the project, ensure you have the following installed:
- PHP: 8.1 or higher
- Composer: For PHP dependency management
- Node.js: 16.x or higher
- npm: For JavaScript dependency management
- MySQL: For database storage
- Git: For cloning the repository
Follow these steps to set up the CMS locally:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/gmaxsoft/cms.git cd cms -
Install PHP Dependencies: Run the following command to install the required PHP packages:
composer install
-
Install JavaScript Dependencies: Install front-end dependencies using npm:
npm install
-
Set Up Environment: Copy the
.env.samplefile to.envand configure your environment variables:cp .env.sample .env
Update the
.envfile with your database credentials and other settings. Example configuration:DEBUG=true DB_DRIVER=mysql DB_HOST=localhost DB_NAME=YOUR_OWN_DATABASE_NAME DB_USER=root DB_PASS= FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:3000 SECRET_KEY=your-secure-secret-key DEFAULT_BLOCK_LANG=1 SLIDERFILESPATH=upload/sliderImg/
Important: Set a strong
SECRET_KEY(e.g. 64-character hex) for JWT authentication. -
Set Up the Database: Create a MySQL database (name matching
DB_NAMEin.env). Run the installer by opening in a browser:http://<twoja-domena>/install.php(np.http://localhost:8000/install.phplub adres Twojego hosta). -
Build Front-End Assets: Compile and bundle the front-end assets using Webpack:
npm run build
-
Start the Development Server: Start the Webpack development server for front-end development:
npm run dev
Alternatively, serve the PHP application using a local server (e.g., PHP's built-in server):
php -S localhost:8000 -t public
-
Access the CMS: Open your browser and go to the address where the PHP application is served (e.g.
http://localhost:8000when usingphp -S localhost:8000 -t public, or your local domain such ashttp://content_management_system.test). Usehttp://localhost:3000only when runningnpm run devfor front-end hot reload.
- Admin Panel: Log in via the login page; after authentication you are redirected to the dashboard (admin panel).
- Customizing Templates: Modify Twig templates in the
app/Viewsdirectory. - Adding Routes: Define routes in
config/routes.phpusingpecee/simple-router. - Asset Management: Update SCSS files in
public/scssor JavaScript inpublic/js, then runnpm run build. Compiled assets are output topublic/cssandpublic/js.

Controllers receive services through constructor injection, enabling:
- Easy unit testing with mocks
- Loose coupling between components
- Flexible service implementations
- Better separation of concerns
- Testability: Each service can be tested in isolation
- Maintainability: Changes are localized to specific services
- Extensibility: New features can be added without modifying existing code
- Readability: Clear separation of responsibilities
- Reusability: Services can be reused across different controllers
This project includes unit tests powered by PHPUnit 10 to ensure SOLID compliance and code quality. Tests can use the database (configured in tests/bootstrap.php).
