// the configuration object
$config = jApp::config();

//the router
$coord = jApp::coord();

There is also jApp::version() which allows to know the version of the application when there is a VERSION file in the application directory.

If you want to know the version of Jelix, you'll use jFramework::version().

To create URL, you'll often need the "basePath" value that is available into the configuration, and automatically calculated by the framework when you didn't specified it yourself. This method allow to retrieve easily this path:

$path = jApp::urlBasePath();
// old way to retrieve this path: jApp::config()->urlengine['basepath']

You can also retrieve the URL path to web assets provided by Jelix (from lib/jelix-www).

$path = jApp::urlJelixWWWPath();

jApp is configured during the startup of the application, in the file application.init.php. In particulary, path to different components of the application are set in it.

The method appPath() returns the full path of the application.

$path = jApp::appPath();

To have the path to the temp directory, call the method tempPath().

$path = jApp::tempPath();

Other path are available:

// the path to the var/ directory of the application
$path = jApp::varPath();

// the path to the var/log/ directory of the application
$path = jApp::logPath();

// the path to the app/system/ directory of the application
$path = jApp::appSystemPath();

// the path to the var/config/ directory of the application
$path = jApp::varConfigPath();
// The old method jApp::configPath() is also available but is deprecated

// the path to the www/ directory of the application
$path = jApp::wwwPath();


// the path to the scripts/ directory of the application
$path = jApp::scriptsPath();

You can give a sub-path or a file to these previous method, to have the full path.

You can also retrieve the path to the main configuration file of the application:

// the path to mainconfig.ini.php
$path = jApp::mainConfigFile();

You can retrieve the path to a specific module:

$path = jApp::getModulePath('my_module');

Configuring jApp ¶

jApp::initPaths(
    __DIR__.'/'
    //__DIR__.'/www/',
    //__DIR__.'/var/',
    //__DIR__.'/var/log/',
    //__DIR__.'/var/config/',
    //__DIR__.'/scripts/'
);
jApp::setTempBasePath(realpath(__DIR__.'/temp').'/');

// declare a list of directories containing modules
jApp::declareModulesDir(array(
                        __DIR__.'/../lib/jelix-modules/',
                        __DIR__.'/../lib/jelix-admin-modules/',
                        __DIR__.'/modules/'
                    ));
// declare a list of directories containing plugins
jApp::declarePluginsDir(array(
                        __DIR__.'/../lib/jelix-plugins/',
                        __DIR__.'/plugins'
                    ));

// declare the path to a module
jApp::declareModule(__DIR__.'/my-module/');

jApp::loadConfig('index/config.ini.php');
jApp::setCoord(new jCoordinator());
