templates
header.html
footer.html

Header and Footer components are included by default.

header.html

            
<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
	<meta charset="utf-8" />
	<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
	<title>Website</title>
</head>
<body>

footer.html

            
<footer>
	<p>Copyright 2025 My Company. All Rights Reserved</p>
</footer>

Custom Template

back
sys
template.php

template.php

            
require_once(FILE_APP);
$app = new app();

if($_URL[0]=='api') return require_once(DIR_SYS.'api.php');

require_once(DIR_TEMP.'header.html');
     require_once(DIR_PAGE.$_PATH);
require_once(DIR_TEMP.'footer.html');

This is where you can customize the template of your routes. By default, we load the $app object, the header, the url route, and the footer. "/api" is reserved for our API automation

Example

In this example, we're adding a nav and sideBar component to all routes.

            
require_once(FILE_APP);
$app = new app();

if($_URL[0]=='api') return require_once(DIR_SYS.'api.php');

require_once(DIR_TEMP.'header.html');
require_once(DIR_TEMP.'nav.html');
require_once(DIR_PAGE.$_PATH);
require_once(DIR_TEMP.'sideBar.html');
require_once(DIR_TEMP.'footer.html');

Strict URL Vars

By default, all URL variables past the routed file are allowed.

URL	Result	$_URL_VARS
http://website.com/about	Loads about.html route	[]
http://website.com/about/developers/john-smith	Loads about.html route	["developers","john-smith"]

Route Restriction

You can add URL restrictions for routing in the route file at the top using the urlVars method

$app->urlVars($urlValueCount, $strictMode);

$urlValueCount	Number of URL variables to allow	/one/two/three
$strictMode	default = All URL variables allowed 0 = Only allow route and number of URL variables 1 = Only allow route with URL variables 2 = Only allow route with all URL variables

Example: about.html

            
<?php
$app->urlVars(1);

//This will allow 1 variable past route. 
//http://website.com/about/developers/john-smith  [Error];
//http://website.com/about/developers/  [Success];

?>
<h1>About</h1>

Global Restrictions

$app->urlMode([Routes=>[$urlValueCount, $strictMode]]);

Example: template.php

            
require_once(FILE_APP);
$app = new app();

$app->urlMode([
	"about"=> [1,1],
	"contact"=>[0]
]);
//This allows 1 URL variable for "about" but no URL variables for "contact"
 
if($_URL[0]=='api') return require_once(DIR_SYS.'api.php');
require_once(DIR_TEMP.'header.html');
     require_once(DIR_PAGE.$_PATH);
require_once(DIR_TEMP.'footer.html');
