“Open
source frameworks that embed support for built-in tools and eliminate
the exigency for any configuration are loved by all - particularly, if
they simplify the process of web application development. CakePHP is one
such amazing PHP framework that allows developers to work well with
large scale applications without taking too much of their time value. It
was always an obsession for PHP developers to handle objects which was
the power of object oriented programming languages like Java, ASP .Net
or C++ etc. With the ORM Architecture of CakePHP, PHP developers get
adequate scope to develop object oriented web applications that will
definitely decreases the effort and increases the efficiency in a
seamless manner. As a result CakePHP became one of the most popular web
frameworks of the industry in a very short span of time and its
popularity is increasing at an exponential rate over time. Here’s why
this open source platform surpasses most other web frameworks out there”.
MVC Pattern: The
integrated Model View Controller pattern in CakePHP enables users to
conveniently distinguish the logic from the presentation and allows
seamless reading, deleting, or updation of data. Users may find it
incredible as a tool to interact with their database. Model basically
lends support to data management, View lends support to data rendering,
and Controller functions by responding to events – the result of which
is hassle-free programming management. With the model view controller
pattern, the application development becomes much handier from the
developers point of view. It not only isolates the view component from
that of the server i.e., database or Model of the framework. Along with
that, it decreases the overall effort of the PHP developer in building
highly scalable and robust application without much worry about the
background design. It really makes sense when we are considering
developing large scale web application with huge modules having isolated
functionalities being connected to the core of the logic.
ORM: Object
Relational Mapping comes as an integral part here that lets developers
convert data between unsuited type systems in databases. The tool makes
it easier to infuse the data into different facilities by building
compliant class objects. It even enables for seamless program writing
without any need for a single line of SQL code. With ORM the developer
needn’t to modify the data everywhere in the application instead of that
he can simply modify it within the object and it will be visible
throughout the web application. Database operations like updating, alter
etc can be performed in a hassle free manner as compared to any other
PHP web framework. In fact ORM has changed the face of PHP programming
in a single short with the introduction of object concept into the
software application.
No Configuration: For
most developers, having absolute no need for configuration is the best
part. CakePHP eliminates the need for any code or configuration where
the developer is required to identify the URL or the library of the
website. The framework features auto-detection which makes everything
further simpler. A newbie can configure CakePHP with little knowledge
and with little research on the web and kick start his first web project
with CakePHP. There are many blogs, articles and video tutorials
available on web that can make the configuration process not only easier
but also funny enough.
Built-in Validation: CakePHP
gives developers another reason to appreciate its unique structure. The
program offers built-in validation, useful features, and an amazing
flow of entities – all of which make web app development a smooth
procedure. With the built in validation the effort of PHP developers
will decrease drastically without compromising on the quality; because
the functions that CakePHP offers for the developers for validation
process are simply outstanding. They are highly optimized to offer
better performance and speed to the PHP web application and off course
they are highly reliable.
Power to Create Tests: It
lets users effectively create tests and verify the critical points in
their application. CakePHP provides its users with certain core tests as
well as some custom tests – which they can create their own. The power
to create tests basically comes handy when someone intends to build a
large web application and is required to have a constant performance
check.
Class Inheritance: Unlike
most open source frameworks, this one encompasses class inheritance for
developers who want simplicity yet high performance from their model.
CakePHP includes two folders that enable users to watch and work
separately. Class inheritance helps the most when the developers have to
work with many codes. Inheritance is the core of object oriented
programming; and it really makes the programming much more amusing than
before. With inheritance, the inception of code reusability comes and
that really makes the development process much faster than before.
Extends with Plug-ins: And
not to forget, the unique ability of CakePHP to let users reuse their
code! The program allows users to basically reprocess their codes and
build on existing facility – however, the framework does this by
expanding the developer’s program with some new features and plug-ins.
One can simply modularize their application and use it as a completely
different utility (interestingly, without having to change CakePHP’s
core libraries). This makes the overall application an interesting one
due to integration of useful plug-ins into the application. There is
millions of reliable plug-ins available in web especially in JavaScript
and using them a PHP application can be revived to a new and attractive
look and feel.
Future Ready: It is needless to say that CakePHP is future ready. It enables PHP web developers
to integrate and take advantage of all modern amenities like HTML5,
CSS3 and jQuery etc. Along with that Cloud support matters a lot if we
are considering future ready web solution for the industry. Responsive
web designs, cross platform application development, web app development
are few of the challenging features of CakePHP that has mesmerized the
whole world of web.
Although
the listed functions above are highly useful for anyone who uses
CakePHP, the web framework is by far one of the best choices for large
scale web development. It is ideal for anyone who prefers a lot of
customization with utmost simplicity and of course, not to forget its
CRUD Scaffolding that allows users to create, read, update, and delete.
