Introducing Included Modules

Trongate v1 hid everything in engine/.

Mysterious. Untouchable. Slightly terrifying.

We burned that to the ground.

Database interaction? File uploads? Validation? Templates?

All modules now.

Here's all the modules that are included with the Trongate framework. Click any module name for more details.

Why This Rules

1. Open any included module → plain PHP you can actually read.
2. Don’t like how it works? Change it. It’s yours.
3. Want your own version? Replace the folder. Done.
4. Even AI can understand the whole framework now. No magic. No 47 layers of abstraction.

Using Them (Zero Drama)

Loading modules from controller files is easy:

// From any controller – it just works
$rows        = $this->db->get('products');
$is_valid    = $this->validation->run($post);
$upload_info = $this->file->upload($config);
$resized     = $this->image->resize('uploads/pic.jpg', 800, 600);

You can also call modules from within view files. For example:

<?= Modules::run('pagination/show', $pagination_data) ?>

No registration. No config files. No tears.
