Sweet and fast form processing for PHP projects.
Requires PHP 8 or newer.
Use Composer to install this library:
composer require soatok/cupcake
To learn how to use Cupcake, please see the Documentation online.
Wordplay! The German word for a cupcake mold is förmchen.
Three things: Security, simplicity, and ease-of-use.
First, I designed Cupcake with security as its first principle.
This doesn't just mean the bare basics like preventing cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and cross-site request forgery. Secure form processing means ensuring that input validation isn't only performed client-side. To that end, Cupcake uses Ionizer for input filtering.
Second, Cupcake's interface is deliberately simple and intuitive. Piece o' cake!
Finally, Cupcake is easy to integrate with other platforms and frameworks, by design. Cupcake has minimal dependencies and is unlikely to conflict with your existing framework dependencies or explode the code size to an unreasonable level.
(In the future, I will also provide shims for popular frameworks and ORMs.)
See the Documentation directory.
