Missing func.:
Email validation
isUnique - check db if value exists

Currently, the framework does not record the host that the database connection is established to:

https://github.com/Block8/b8framework/blob/master/b8/Database.php#L126

and as a result, you cannot retrieve this information later. PHPCI, for example, needs to know which host it is connected to in order to pass that information to the MySQL plugin. This is also causing PHPCI itself to fail, since PHPCI_DB_HOST is no longer defined:

https://github.com/Block8/PHPCI/blob/c1bf4ab6364e2b8a9ef3d9dc52396076688952fc/PHPCI/Plugin/Mysql.php#L46

The challenge is that the read and write servers may be different, so you would need to store these hosts separately or find a way to extract it from PDO itself. I imagine PDO also does not store this information since it does not make sense in the case of UNIX sockets, SQLite, etc.

Direct access to superglobals isn't allowed in HHVM. In order to make the b8framework run on HHVM, the request parameters need to be accessed with the filter_input function function. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a better approach to getting request parameters anyway? I thought superglobals were deprecated in practice. As always I'm willing to try and make this work and submit a PR.

Because "b8" missing when calling database's params :
In block8/b8framework/b8/Database.php, l.54 you have :
$settings = $config->get('database', array());

And $settings = $config->get('b8.database', array()); should be search according your last installCommand which write $conf['b8']['database']...

• Create new generic exception types.
• Update code generation to throw generic exceptions in models and stores.
• Update code generation to catch generic exceptions and throw HttpExceptions in controllers.

This is an issue affecting usage of PHPCI, using the recommended virtual host settings for nginx, but the bug is in b8framework code so I thought I'd post the issue here.

When a URL contains a question mark on nginx, the method b8\Http\Request::getRequestPath strips the entire request path, meaning the framework can't resolve the URL to a controller. The issue appears to be with how the SCRIPT_NAME is stripped from the path:

        if ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] != $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) {
            $scriptPath = str_replace('/index.php', '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
            $path = str_replace($scriptPath, '', $path);
        }

On nginx, the values for these parameters would look something like the following:

  ["SCRIPT_NAME"]=>
  string(25) "/settings/github_callback"
  ["REQUEST_URI"]=>
  string(51) "/settings/github_callback?code=etc"

When the framework strips the SCRIPT_NAME it strips everything but the query string.

This breaks the display of checkboxes in Bootstrap 3.2 (or lower?) sites. Ideally the checkbox class will be provided when creating the form control in the controller and not be forced upon you.

Thank you for good job, but can you add more instructions to wiki, for example, how to start with framework

e.g. with a table 'case':
