HandlrPipe + Handler for PHP

A lightweight PHP framework with clean separation of HTTP and business logic — plus an HTMX + Handlebars frontend toolkit.

Pipe + Handler

HTTP concerns live in Pipes. Business logic lives in Handlers with typed input and structured results. The same Handler serves HTTP requests and event dispatch.

Explicit, not magic

Domain-driven, no static state, constructor injection everywhere. Clean abstractions you can read top to bottom — not a framework pretending to be Laravel.

Server-driven frontend

handlr-build compiles static HTML. handlr-frontend adds HTMX, Handlebars, modals, CSRF, and auth-gated UI — so you focus on pages and domain logic.
