Memeh Web Engine – PHP MVVM Documentation

Overview

The Web Engine renders pages using Mustache views and ViewModels created by Controllers. It is designed to stay stable across deployments and to be safe-by-default.

Headless-first

Consumes MemehCMS APIs (zones, tenants, pages, news) and renders output.

Theme-friendly

Themes are real HTML/CSS/JS with Mustache partials and clean ViewModels.

Request flow (MVVM)

GET /services

routes/web.php
  → ServicesController@index

ServicesController
  → $vm = ServicesViewModel::fromApi(...)
  → View::render('services.mustache', $vm)

Mustache layout.mustache
  → <?php echo e(> services.mustache); ?>

Themes

Starter themes are built on the Web Engine. A theme typically includes layouts, pages, partials, and assets—plus ViewModels to map API content into templates.

Tip: keep ViewModels explicit and stable—your templates should never depend on raw API responses.

Fetching content from MemehCMS

ViewModels pull from MemehCMS headless APIs (zone-scoped endpoints), then output a safe array for Mustache.

GET /api/zones/{zone}/v1/pages/{slug}
GET /api/zones/{zone}/v1/news?limit=25

Security model

• Mustache escapes output by default.
• Static export removes runtime CMS attack surface.
• Signed feeds provide provenance and verification.
