Cradle is a PHP framework designed for rapid application development with a focus on modularity and developer experience. The CLI tool provides commands for scaffolding, database management, and development server operations.
The framework follows an event-driven architecture, allowing loose coupling between components. Modules can be developed independently and plugged into applications. The make commands generate boilerplate code following the framework's conventions.
Cradle CLI handles common development tasks including database migrations, model generation from existing schemas, and cache management. The built-in server provides quick access for local development without configuring external web servers.

Requires PHP 7.4+ and Composer. Database commands require proper configuration in the framework's settings. The development server is not suitable for production use.

Cradle was developed as a modern PHP framework emphasizing event-driven programming and modularity. It emerged from the PHP development community's need for frameworks that balance convention with flexibility, providing structure without excessive constraints.
