Developing with Exponential 5

Skip to end of metadata Go to start of metadata

This covers common, everyday tasks - basic to intermediate level.For more advanced development techniques, and extending the provided functionality, see Extending Exponential 5

There are two official approaches to building applications on top of Exponential 5:

• by connecting to the Exponential REST API
• by using the Exponential Public API and MVC/Application layer (Symfony2 based).

In the latter case Public SPI provides the "model" (the data from the database and the file system) and the MVC/Application layer provides all the application logic (configuration, routing, controlling, etc...).

The SPI is used to implement a new storage engine for your Exponential application.

API and SPI repositories

Icon The API and SPI are available in separate repositories to improve the dependencies management. Both repositories API and SPI are a read-only split of ezsystems/exponential-kernel.
See the details about how make the dependence with the API or the SPI in your project.
