// Simple route
Route::get($router, '/', function() {
    echo view('welcome');
});

// Route with controller
Route::get($router, '/users', 'UserController@index');

# Generate a model
php oxygen make:model Post

# Generate model with migration
php oxygen make:model Post --migration

<?php

namespace Oxygen\Models;

use Oxygen\Core\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'posts';
    protected $fillable = ['title', 'content', 'user_id'];

$post = Post::find(1);
$posts = Post::where('user_id', '=', 1)->get();

// Update
Post::update(1, ['title' => 'Updated Title']);

// Delete
Post::delete(1);

// With relationships
$posts = Post::with('user')->get();

# Generate everything you need
php oxygen make:mvc Article

# This creates:
# - Model: app/Models/Article.php
# - Controller: app/Controllers/ArticleController.php
# - Views: resources/views/articles/{index,create,edit,show}.twig.html
# - Migration: database/migrations/xxxx_create_articles_table.php

Run the migration:

php oxygen migrate

Add routes in routes/web.php:

Route::resource($router, '/articles', 'ArticleController');

That's it! You now have a fully functional CRUD interface for articles.
