Your First Module

In Trongate, everything is a module. Your first module will be a simple page that says hello.

1. Create the Module Directory

Inside your modules/ directory, create a folder called hello/:

2. Create the Controller

Create a file called Hello.php inside the hello/ directory:

3. Create the View

Inside hello/views/, create a file called greeting.php:

4. View It in Your Browser

Navigate to:

You should see "Hello, world!" displayed on the page.

That’s all there is to it. Module controllers extend the Trongate class, views are plain PHP files, and URLs map directly to your module and method names. No configuration, no routing setup, no scaffolding commands.
