<?php
// This example is just for fun, but should define controllers classes
require_once '../../beaba/framework/bootstrap.php'; 
$app = new beaba\core\WebApp(array(
    'routes' => array(
        // start routes injections
        'index' => array(
            'callback' => function( $app, $args ) {
                return $app->getView()
                    ->setTemplate('empty')
                    ->push(
                        'content',
                        function( $app, $data ) {
                            echo '<h1>Hello world</h1>';
                        }
                    )
                ;
            }
        )
        // end of routes injection
    )
));
$app->getResponse()->write( $app->dispatch() );
