+# Configuration
+
+SPIN Framework uses a JSON-based configuration system that's loaded at runtime and provides easy access through helper functions.
+
+## Configuration Structure
+
+SPIN applications use JSON configuration files organized by environment (e.g., `config-dev.json`, `config-prod.json`). The configuration is structured hierarchically and supports environment variables.
+
+### Basic Configuration File Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "application": {
+    "global": {
+      "maintenance": false,
+      "message": "We are in maintenance mode, back shortly",
+      "timezone": "Europe/Stockholm"
+    },
+    "secret": "${application-secret}"

+          "ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT": false
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Accessing Configuration
+
+SPIN provides a `config()` helper function to access configuration values using dot notation:
+
+```php
+// Access nested configuration values
+$maintenance = config('application.global.maintenance');
+$timezone = config('application.global.timezone');
+$sessionTimeout = config('session.timeout');
+
+// Access with default values
+$logLevel = config('logger.level', 'info');
+$dbHost = config('connections.example_mysql.host', 'localhost');
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+SPIN supports environment variables in configuration using `${VARIABLE_NAME}` syntax:
+
+```json
+{
+  "application": {
+    "secret": "${APPLICATION_SECRET}",
+    "database": {
+      "password": "${DB_PASSWORD}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+

+    },
+    "remote.redis": {

+        {
+          "ATTR_PERSISTENT": true
+        },
+        {
+          "ATTR_ERRMODE": "ERRMODE_EXCEPTION"
+        },
+        {
+          "ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT": false
+        }
+      ]
+    },
+    "example_sqlite": {
+      "type": "Pdo",
+      "driver": "SqlLite",
+      "filename": "storage\\database\\db.sqlite"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Factory Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "factories": {
+    "http": {
+      "serverRequest": {
+        "class": "\\Spin\\Factories\\Http\\ServerRequestFactory",
+        "options": {}
+      },
+      "response": {
+        "class": "\\Spin\\Factories\\Http\\ResponseFactory",
+        "options": {}
+      }
+    },
+    "container": {
+      "class": "\\Spin\\Factories\\ContainerFactory",
+      "options": {
+        "autowire": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Hooks Configuration
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": [
+    {
+      "OnBeforeRequest": [
+        "\\App\\Hooks\\OnBeforeRequest"
+      ],
+      "OnAfterRequest": [
+        "\\App\\Hooks\\OnAfterRequest"
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Best Practices
+
+1. **Environment Separation**: Use different configuration files for different environments (dev, staging, prod)
+2. **Sensitive Data**: Store sensitive information like passwords and secrets in environment variables
+3. **Validation**: Validate configuration values at startup
+4. **Defaults**: Provide sensible default values for optional configuration
+5. **Documentation**: Document all configuration options and their expected values
+
+## Configuration Validation
+
+SPIN automatically validates configuration when the application starts. Missing required configuration will cause the application to fail to start.
+
+## Dynamic Configuration
+
+While SPIN primarily uses static JSON configuration, you can also set configuration values programmatically:
+
+```php
+// Set configuration values at runtime
+config('application.global.maintenance', true);
+config('session.timeout', 7200);
+```
+
+## Configuration Caching
+
+SPIN caches configuration in memory for performance. Changes to configuration files require an application restart to take effect.

+# Middleware
+
+SPIN Framework uses a middleware system that allows you to intercept and modify HTTP requests and responses. Middleware extends the `Spin\Core\Middleware` class and provides a clean way to handle cross-cutting concerns like authentication, logging, and CORS.
+
+## Middleware Structure
+
+SPIN middleware classes extend `Spin\Core\Middleware` and implement two main methods:
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+
+class ExampleMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    /**
+     * Initialize the middleware
+     *
+     * @param array $args The arguments
+     * @return bool
+     */
+    public function initialize(array $args): bool
+    {
+        // Setup code here
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    /**
+     * Handle the request/response
+     *
+     * @param array $args URI parameters as key=value array
+     * @return bool True=OK, False=Failed to handle it
+     */
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        // Middleware logic here
+        return true;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Middleware Methods
+
+### initialize(array $args): bool
+
+Called once when the middleware is created. Use this method for:
+- Loading configuration
+- Setting up dependencies
+- Initializing resources
+
+Return `true` if initialization succeeds, `false` if it fails.
+
+### handle(array $args): bool
+
+Called for each request. Use this method for:
+- Processing the request
+- Modifying the response
+- Performing validation
+
+Return `true` if the request should continue, `false` if it should be blocked.
+
+## Helper Functions
+
+SPIN provides several helper functions that middleware can use:
+
+### Configuration Access
+
+```php
+// Get configuration values
+$secret = config('application.secret');
+$timeout = config('session.timeout');
+$logLevel = config('logger.level', 'info');
+```
+
+### Container Access
+
+```php
+// Store values in the container
+container('user', $user);
+container('requestId', $requestId);
+
+// Retrieve values from the container
+$user = container('user');
+$requestId = container('requestId');
+```
+
+### Request/Response Access
+
+```php
+// Get the current request
+$request = getRequest();
+
+// Get the current response
+$response = getResponse();
+
+// Create a new response
+return response($content, $statusCode, $headers);
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+```php
+// Log messages
+logger()->info('User authenticated', ['userId' => $userId]);
+logger()->error('Authentication failed', ['error' => $error]);
+logger()->critical('Critical error', ['trace' => $trace]);
+```
+
+## Middleware Examples
+
+### Authentication Middleware
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+use Spin\Helpers\JWT;
+
+class AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    /** @var string Secret string */
+    protected $secret;
+
+    /**
+     * Initialize
+     */
+    public function initialize(array $args): bool
+    {
+        # Get applications global secret
+        $this->secret = config('application.secret');
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    /**
+     * Handle authentication
+     */
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $authenticated = false;
+        $type = 'token';
+        $token = config('integrations.core.token');
+        $authenticated = $this->authToken($token);
+
+        # Failed authentication
+        if (!$authenticated && getResponse()->getStatusCode() < 400) {
+            response('', 401, [
+                'WWW-Authenticate' => $type . ' realm="' . 
+                    (getRequest()->getHeader('Host')[0] ?? '') . '"'
+            ]);
+        }
+
+        return $authenticated;
+    }
+
+    /**
+     * Token authentication
+     */
+    protected function authToken(string $token): bool
+    {
+        $authenticated = false;
+        $tokens = config('tokens') ?? [];
+        $authenticated = array_key_exists($token, $tokens);
+        return $authenticated;
+    }
+
+    /**
+     * Bearer authentication (JWT)
+     */
+    protected function authBearer(string $token): bool
+    {
+        $authenticated = false;
+
+        try {
+            # Verify the Token and decode the payload
+            $payload = JWT::decode($token, $this->secret, ['HS256']);
+
+            if (!is_null($payload)) {
+                # Store the Payload in the Dependency Container
+                container('jwt:payload', $payload);
+                $authenticated = true;
+            }
+        } catch (\Exception $e) {
+            logger()->critical($e->getMessage(), [
+                'rid' => container('requestId'),
+                'msg' => $e->getMessage(),
+                'trace' => $e->getTraceAsString()
+            ]);
+        }
+
+        return $authenticated;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Session Middleware
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+

+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+
+class SessionBeforeMiddleware extends Middleware

+     * Retrieve or Set the SessionId cookie for the request
+     */
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        # Build session array
+        $session = [];
+        $session['cookie'] = config('session.cookie');
+        $session['timeout'] = config('session.timeout');
+        $session['refresh'] = config('session.refresh');
+        
+        if (!empty($session['cookie'])) {
+            $session['value'] = cookie($session['cookie']);
+        } else {

+        }
+
+        # Set array to container
+        container('session', $session);
+
+        return true;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### CORS Middleware
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);

+Applied to specific route groups:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Private",
+  "prefix": "/api/v1",
+  "before": [
+    "\\App\\Middlewares\\AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware"
+  ],
+  "routes": [
+    { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/profile", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\ProfileController" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Route-Specific Middleware
+
+Applied to individual routes:
+
+```json
+{
+  "methods": ["POST"],
+  "path": "/users",
+  "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController",
+  "middleware": [
+    "\\App\\Middlewares\\ValidationMiddleware"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Middleware Order
+
+Middleware execution order is important:
+
+1. **Common Before** - Applied to all routes
+2. **Group Before** - Applied to route groups
+3. **Route Before** - Applied to specific routes
+4. **Controller** - Route handler execution
+5. **Route After** - Applied to specific routes
+6. **Group After** - Applied to route groups
+7. **Common After** - Applied to all routes
+
+## Middleware Best Practices
+
+1. **Single Responsibility**: Each middleware should handle one concern
+2. **Performance**: Keep middleware lightweight and efficient
+3. **Error Handling**: Always handle exceptions gracefully
+4. **Logging**: Log important events and errors
+5. **Configuration**: Use configuration for customizable behavior
+6. **Testing**: Write unit tests for middleware logic
+7. **Documentation**: Document middleware purpose and behavior
+
+## Conditional Middleware
+
+Middleware can be conditionally applied based on request properties:
+
+```php
+public function handle(array $args): bool
+{
+    $request = getRequest();
+    
+    # Only apply to API routes
+    if (!str_starts_with($request->getUri()->getPath(), '/api/')) {
+        return true;
+    }
+    
+    # Apply middleware logic
+    return $this->processApiRequest($args);
+}
+```
+
+## Middleware Parameters
+
+Middleware can receive parameters from the route configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "before": [
+    "\\App\\Middlewares\\RateLimitMiddleware:100,60"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+```php
+public function initialize(array $args): bool
+{
+    # Parse parameters (e.g., "100,60" -> max 100 requests per 60 seconds)
+    $params = explode(',', $args['params'] ?? '100,60');
+    $this->maxRequests = (int)($params[0] ?? 100);
+    $this->timeWindow = (int)($params[1] ?? 60);
+    
+    return true;
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling in Middleware
+
+Always handle errors gracefully in middleware:
+
+```php
+public function handle(array $args): bool
+{
+    try {
+        // Middleware logic
+        return $this->processRequest($args);
+    } catch (\Exception $e) {
+        logger()->error('Middleware error: ' . $e->getMessage(), [
+            'rid' => container('requestId'),
+            'middleware' => static::class,
+            'error' => $e->getMessage()
+        ]);
+        
+        // Return false to block the request or true to continue
+        return false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Middleware
+
+Test middleware in isolation:
+
+```php
+<?php
+// tests/Middleware/AuthMiddlewareTest.php
+
+use PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase;
+
+class AuthMiddlewareTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function testSuccessfulAuthentication()
+    {
+        $middleware = new AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware();
+        $args = ['token' => 'valid_token'];
+        
+        $result = $middleware->handle($args);
+        
+        $this->assertTrue($result);
+    }
+    
+    public function testFailedAuthentication()
+    {
+        $middleware = new AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware();
+        $args = ['token' => 'invalid_token'];
+        
+        $result = $middleware->handle($args);
+        
+        $this->assertFalse($result);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This middleware system provides a powerful and flexible way to handle cross-cutting concerns in your SPIN application while maintaining clean separation of concerns.

+# Routing
+
+SPIN Framework uses a JSON-based routing system that defines routes, middleware, and controllers in a structured configuration file. Routes are organized into groups with shared middleware and prefixes.
+
+## Route Configuration
+
+SPIN applications define routes in JSON configuration files (e.g., `routes-dev.json`) that specify the routing structure, middleware, and controller mappings.
+
+### Basic Route Configuration Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "common": {
+    "before": [],
+    "after": [
+      "\\App\\Middlewares\\RequestIdAfterMiddleware",
+      "\\App\\Middlewares\\ResponseTimeAfterMiddleware",
+      "\\App\\Middlewares\\ResponseLogAfterMiddleware"
+    ]
+  },
+  "groups": [
+    {
+      "name": "unversioned api endpoints",
+      "notes": "",
+      "prefix": "/api",
+      "before": [],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods":["GET"], "path":"/health", "handler":"\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\HealthController" },
+        { "methods":["GET"], "path":"/status", "handler":"\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\StatusController" },
+        { "methods":["GET"], "path":"/info", "handler":"\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\InfoController" }
+      ],
+      "after": []
+    },
+    {
+      "name":"Public",
+      "notes": "Public endpoints",
+      "prefix": "/api/v1",
+      "before": [],
+      "routes": [],
+      "after": []
+    },
+    {
+      "name":"Private",
+      "notes": "Private endpoints",
+      "prefix": "/api/v1",
+      "before": [
+        "\\App\\Middlewares\\AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware"
+      ],
+      "routes": [],
+      "after": []
+    },
+    {
+      "name":"Default",
+      "notes": "Default route if nothing else matches",
+      "prefix": "",
+      "before": [
+        "\\App\\Middlewares\\SessionBeforeMiddleware"
+      ],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods":[], "path":"/", "handler":"\\App\\Controllers\\IndexController" }
+      ],
+      "after": []
+    }
+  ],
+  "errors": {
+    "4xx": "\\App\\Controllers\\Error4xxController",
+    "5xx": "\\App\\Controllers\\Error5xxController"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Route Groups
+
+Route groups allow you to organize related routes with shared middleware and prefixes.
+
+### Group Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Group Name",
+  "notes": "Description of the group",
+  "prefix": "/api/v1",
+  "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\AuthMiddleware"],
+  "routes": [
+    // Route definitions
+  ],
+  "after": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\LoggingMiddleware"]
+}
+```
+
+### Group Properties
+
+- **name**: Descriptive name for the route group
+- **notes**: Additional information about the group
+- **prefix**: URL prefix applied to all routes in the group
+- **before**: Middleware executed before route handling
+- **routes**: Array of route definitions
+- **after**: Middleware executed after route handling
+
+## Route Definitions
+
+Individual routes define the HTTP methods, path, and controller handler.
+
+### Route Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "methods": ["GET", "POST"],
+  "path": "/users/{id}",
+  "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController"
+}
+```
+
+### Route Properties
+
+- **methods**: Array of HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)
+- **path**: URL path with optional parameters
+- **handler**: Fully qualified class name of the controller
+
+### HTTP Methods
+
+```json
+// Single method
+{ "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/users", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController" }
+
+// Multiple methods
+{ "methods": ["GET", "POST"], "path": "/users", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController" }
+
+// All methods (empty array)
+{ "methods": [], "path": "/", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\IndexController" }
+```
+
+## Route Parameters
+
+SPIN supports route parameters using curly brace syntax.
+
+### Parameter Examples
+
+```json
+// Single parameter
+{ "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/users/{id}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController" }
+
+// Multiple parameters
+{ "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/users/{id}/posts/{postId}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\PostController" }
+
+// Optional parameters (using ?)
+{ "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/users/{id?}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController" }
+```
+
+## Controllers
+
+Controllers handle the business logic for routes and extend SPIN's base controller classes.
+
+### Controller Structure
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Controllers;
+
+use \App\Controllers\AbstractPlatesController;
+
+class IndexController extends AbstractPlatesController
+{
+  /**
+   * Handle GET request
+   *
+   * @param  array $args    Path variable arguments as name=value pairs
+   */
+  public function handleGET(array $args)
+  {
+    # Model to send to view
+    $model = ['title'=>'PageTitle', 'user'=>'Friend'];
+
+    # Render view
+    $html = $this->engine->render('pages::index', $model);
+
+    # Send the generated html
+    return response($html);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### HTTP Method Handlers
+
+SPIN controllers use specific method names to handle different HTTP requests:
+
+- `handleGET(array $args)` - Handles GET requests
+- `handlePOST(array $args)` - Handles POST requests
+- `handlePUT(array $args)` - Handles PUT requests
+- `handleDELETE(array $args)` - Handles DELETE requests
+- `handlePATCH(array $args)` - Handles PATCH requests
+
+### Controller Parameters
+
+The `$args` parameter contains route parameters as key-value pairs:
+
+```php
+// Route: /users/{id}/posts/{postId}
+// URL: /users/123/posts/456
+
+public function handleGET(array $args)
+{
+    $userId = $args['id'];        // "123"
+    $postId = $args['postId'];    // "456"
+    
+    // Controller logic here
+}
+```
+
+## Abstract Controllers
+
+SPIN provides abstract controller classes for common functionality.
+
+### AbstractPlatesController
+
+For template-based responses using the Plates template engine:
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Controllers;
+
+use \App\Controllers\AbstractPlatesController;
+
+class UserController extends AbstractPlatesController
+{
+    public function handleGET(array $args)
+    {
+        $user = getUserById($args['id']);
+        $html = $this->engine->render('users::show', ['user' => $user]);
+        return response($html);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### AbstractRestController
+
+For API responses returning JSON:
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Controllers;
+
+use \App\Controllers\AbstractRestController;
+
+class ApiController extends AbstractRestController
+{
+    public function handleGET(array $args)
+    {
+        $data = ['status' => 'success', 'message' => 'Hello World'];
+        return responseJson($data);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Middleware Integration
+
+Routes can have middleware applied at multiple levels:
+
+### Common Middleware
+
+Applied to all routes in the application:
+
+```json
+{
+  "common": {
+    "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\RequestIdBeforeMiddleware"],
+    "after": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\ResponseLogAfterMiddleware"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Group Middleware
+
+Applied to all routes in a specific group:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Private",
+  "prefix": "/api/v1",
+  "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware"],
+  "routes": [
+    { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/profile", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\ProfileController" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Route-Specific Middleware
+
+Individual routes can specify additional middleware:
+
+```json
+{
+  "methods": ["POST"],
+  "path": "/users",
+  "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\UserController",
+  "middleware": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\ValidationMiddleware"]
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+SPIN provides error controllers for handling HTTP error responses.
+
+### Error Controllers
+
+```json
+{
+  "errors": {
+    "4xx": "\\App\\Controllers\\Error4xxController",
+    "5xx": "\\App\\Controllers\\Error5xxController"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Controller Example
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Controllers;
+
+use \App\Controllers\AbstractPlatesController;
+
+class Error4xxController extends AbstractPlatesController
+{
+    public function handleGET(array $args)
+    {
+        $statusCode = $args['status'] ?? 404;
+        $html = $this->engine->render('errors::4xx', ['status' => $statusCode]);
+        return response($html, $statusCode);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Response Handling
+
+SPIN provides helper functions for creating responses.
+
+### Response Helpers
+
+```php
+// HTML response
+return response($html);
+
+// JSON response
+return responseJson($data);
+
+// Response with status code
+return response($html, 201);
+
+// Response with headers
+return response($html, 200, ['Content-Type' => 'text/html']);
+
+// JSON response with status
+return responseJson($data, 201);
+```
+
+## Route Caching
+
+SPIN caches route definitions for performance. Changes to route configuration require an application restart.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Route Organization**: Group related routes together with descriptive names
+2. **Middleware Order**: Apply authentication middleware early in the pipeline
+3. **Error Handling**: Provide meaningful error responses for different HTTP status codes
+4. **Controller Methods**: Use specific HTTP method handlers for better organization
+5. **Route Parameters**: Use descriptive parameter names and validate them in controllers
+6. **Response Consistency**: Use consistent response formats across your API
+7. **Documentation**: Document route groups and their purposes
+
+## Example Route Configuration
+
+Here's a complete example of a typical SPIN application route configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "common": {
+    "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\RequestIdBeforeMiddleware"],
+    "after": [
+      "\\App\\Middlewares\\ResponseTimeAfterMiddleware",
+      "\\App\\Middlewares\\ResponseLogAfterMiddleware"
+    ]
+  },
+  "groups": [
+    {
+      "name": "Public API",
+      "prefix": "/api/v1",
+      "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\CorsBeforeMiddleware"],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/health", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\HealthController" },
+        { "methods": ["POST"], "path": "/auth/login", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\AuthController" }
+      ]
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "Protected API",
+      "prefix": "/api/v1",
+      "before": [
+        "\\App\\Middlewares\\AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware",
+        "\\App\\Middlewares\\RateLimitBeforeMiddleware"
+      ],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/users/{id}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\UserController" },
+        { "methods": ["POST"], "path": "/users", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\UserController" },
+        { "methods": ["PUT"], "path": "/users/{id}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\UserController" },
+        { "methods": ["DELETE"], "path": "/users/{id}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\UserController" }
+      ]
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "Web Pages",
+      "prefix": "",
+      "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\SessionBeforeMiddleware"],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods": [], "path": "/", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\IndexController" },
+        { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/about", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\PageController" },
+        { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/contact", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\PageController" }
+      ]
+    }
+  ],
+  "errors": {
+    "4xx": "\\App\\Controllers\\Error4xxController",
+    "5xx": "\\App\\Controllers\\Error5xxController"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This routing system provides a clean, organized way to define your application's URL structure while maintaining flexibility for middleware and controller organization.

+# Security
+
+SPIN Framework provides a robust security foundation with built-in authentication, authorization, and security middleware. This guide covers the security features and best practices for building secure SPIN applications.
+
+## Authentication
+
+SPIN supports multiple authentication methods through middleware and helper functions.
+
+### HTTP Basic Authentication
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+
+class BasicAuthMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    protected string $username;
+    protected string $password;
+
+    public function initialize(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $this->username = config('auth.basic.username');
+        $this->password = config('auth.basic.password');
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $request = getRequest();
+        $authHeader = $request->getHeaderLine('Authorization');
+
+        if (empty($authHeader) || !str_starts_with($authHeader, 'Basic ')) {
+            return $this->challenge();
+        }
+
+        $credentials = base64_decode(substr($authHeader, 6));
+        [$username, $password] = explode(':', $credentials, 2);
+
+        if ($username === $this->username && $password === $this->password) {
+            container('user', ['username' => $username, 'authenticated' => true]);
+            return true;
+        }
+
+        return $this->challenge();
+    }
+
+    private function challenge(): bool
+    {
+        response('', 401, [
+            'WWW-Authenticate' => 'Basic realm="Secure Area"'
+        ]);
+        return false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### API Key Authentication
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+
+class ApiKeyMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    protected array $validKeys;
+
+    public function initialize(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $this->validKeys = config('auth.api_keys', []);
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $request = getRequest();
+        $apiKey = $request->getHeaderLine('X-API-Key');
+
+        if (empty($apiKey)) {
+            return $this->unauthorized('API key required');
+        }
+
+        if (!in_array($apiKey, $this->validKeys)) {
+            return $this->unauthorized('Invalid API key');
+        }
+
+        container('api_key', $apiKey);
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    private function unauthorized(string $message): bool
+    {
+        responseJson(['error' => $message], 401);
+        return false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### JWT Token Authentication
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+use Spin\Helpers\JWT;
+
+class JwtAuthMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    protected string $secret;
+
+    public function initialize(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $this->secret = config('application.secret');
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $request = getRequest();
+        $authHeader = $request->getHeaderLine('Authorization');
+
+        if (empty($authHeader) || !str_starts_with($authHeader, 'Bearer ')) {
+            return $this->unauthorized('Bearer token required');
+        }
+
+        $token = substr($authHeader, 7);
+
+        try {
+            $payload = JWT::decode($token, $this->secret, ['HS256']);
+            
+            if (is_null($payload)) {
+                return $this->unauthorized('Invalid token');
+            }
+
+            // Check token expiration
+            if (isset($payload->exp) && $payload->exp < time()) {
+                return $this->unauthorized('Token expired');
+            }
+
+            // Store user data in container
+            container('jwt:payload', $payload);
+            container('user', [
+                'id' => $payload->sub ?? null,
+                'email' => $payload->email ?? null,
+                'roles' => $payload->roles ?? []
+            ]);
+
+            return true;
+
+        } catch (\Exception $e) {
+            logger()->error('JWT validation failed', [
+                'rid' => container('requestId'),
+                'error' => $e->getMessage()
+            ]);
+            return $this->unauthorized('Invalid token');
+        }
+    }
+
+    private function unauthorized(string $message): bool
+    {
+        responseJson(['error' => $message], 401);
+        return false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Authorization
+
+### Role-Based Access Control
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+
+class RoleMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    protected array $requiredRoles;
+

+### SQL Injection Prevention
+
+SPIN uses PDO with prepared statements to prevent SQL injection:
+
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);

+
+class UserController extends Controller
+{
+    public function handleGET(array $args)

+            return responseJson(['error' => 'Invalid user ID'], 400);
+        }
+
+        // Use prepared statements
+        $stmt = $this->db->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?');
+        $stmt->execute([$userId]);
+        $user = $stmt->fetch();
+
+        if (!$user) {
+            return responseJson(['error' => 'User not found'], 404);
+        }
+
+        return responseJson($user);

+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Always Validate Input**: Never trust user input
+2. **Use Prepared Statements**: Prevent SQL injection
+3. **Escape Output**: Prevent XSS attacks
+4. **Implement CSRF Protection**: For all state-changing operations
+5. **Use HTTPS**: Encrypt all communications
+6. **Implement Rate Limiting**: Prevent abuse
+7. **Validate File Uploads**: Check type, size, and content
+8. **Use Strong Authentication**: Implement proper auth mechanisms
+9. **Log Security Events**: Monitor for suspicious activity
+10. **Keep Dependencies Updated**: Patch security vulnerabilities

+        
+        for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
+            $users[] = self::create($attributes);
+        }
+        
+        return $users;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Using Test Factories
+
+```php
+<?php
+// tests/Unit/Services/UserServiceTest.php
+
+use Tests\Factories\UserFactory;
+
+class UserServiceTest extends TestCase
+{
+    public function testGetAllUsers()
+    {
+        // Create test users
+        $users = UserFactory::createMany(3);
+        
+        $result = $this->userService->getAllUsers();
+        
+        $this->assertCount(3, $result);
+        $this->assertContainsOnlyInstancesOf(User::class, $result);
+    }
+    
+    public function testGetUserById()
+    {
+        $user = UserFactory::create(['name' => 'John Doe']);
+        
+        $result = $this->userService->getUserById($user->id);
+        
+        $this->assertInstanceOf(User::class, $result);
+        $this->assertEquals('John Doe', $result->name);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Testing
+
+### Basic Performance Tests

+{
+    private UserService $userService;
+    
+    protected function setUp(): void
+    {
+        parent::setUp();
+        $this->userService = new UserService();
+    }
+    
+    public function testGetAllUsersPerformance()
+    {
+        $startTime = microtime(true);
+        
+        $users = $this->userService->getAllUsers();
+        
+        $endTime = microtime(true);
+        $executionTime = ($endTime - $startTime) * 1000; // Convert to milliseconds
+        
+        $this->assertLessThan(100, $executionTime, 'Query took longer than 100ms');
+        $this->assertNotEmpty($users);
+    }
+    
+    public function testCreateUserPerformance()
+    {
+        $userData = [
+            'name' => 'John Doe',
+            'email' => 'john@example.com',
+            'password' => 'password123'
+        ];
+        
+        $startTime = microtime(true);
+        
+        $user = $this->userService->createUser($userData);
+        
+        $endTime = microtime(true);
+        $executionTime = ($endTime - $startTime) * 1000;
+        
+        $this->assertLessThan(50, $executionTime, 'User creation took longer than 50ms');
+        $this->assertInstanceOf(User::class, $user);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Code Coverage

+```bash
+# Generate HTML coverage report
+./vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-html coverage
+
+# Generate XML coverage report
+./vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-clover coverage.xml
+
+# Generate text coverage report
+./vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-text
+```
+
+### Coverage Configuration
+
+```xml
+<coverage>
+    <include>
+        <directory suffix=".php">src</directory>
+        <directory suffix=".php">app</directory>
+    </include>
+    <exclude>
+        <directory>vendor</directory>
+        <directory>tests</directory>

+
+## Testing Best Practices
+
+### 1. Test Organization
+
+- Group related tests in test suites
+- Use descriptive test method names
+- Follow AAA pattern (Arrange, Act, Assert)
+- Keep tests focused and simple
+
+### 2. Test Data Management
+
+- Use factories for test data generation
+- Clean up test data after each test
+- Use database transactions for test isolation
+- Avoid hardcoded test data
+
+### 3. Mocking and Stubbing
+
+- Mock external dependencies
+- Stub complex operations
+- Verify mock interactions
+- Use realistic test data
+
+### 4. Test Coverage
+
+- Aim for high test coverage (80%+)
+- Focus on critical business logic
+- Test edge cases and error conditions
+- Don't test framework code
+
+### 5. Performance Considerations
+
+- Keep tests fast
+- Use in-memory databases for testing
+- Avoid unnecessary I/O operations
+- Mock external services

+## 🛠️ Installation
 
+### Quick Start with Composer
 
-# 2. Installation
-Installing spin-framework as standalone with composer:
 ```bash
 composer require celarius/spin-framework
 ```
 
-## 2.1. Using the spin-skeleton
-To install and use the spin-framework it is highly recommended to start by cloning the [spin-skeleton](https://github.com/Celarius/spin-skeleton) and
-running `composer update -o` in the folder. This will download all needed packages, and create a template skeleton project, containing example
-configs, routes, controllers and many other things.
+### Using the SPIN Skeleton (Recommended)
 
-## 2.2. Testing
-On Windows based systems simply type
-```txt
-.\phpunit.cmd
+For the best development experience, start with our official skeleton project:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the skeleton
+git clone https://github.com/Celarius/spin-skeleton.git my-spin-app
+cd my-spin-app
+
+# Install dependencies
+composer install
+
+# Start development server
+php -S localhost:8000 -t src/public
 ```
-At the command prompt and all tests will be executed.

-## 3.1. Apache configuration
-VHost for running the application under Apache with domain-name recognition.
+## 🚀 Getting Started
+
+### 1. Configuration
+
+SPIN uses JSON-based configuration files:
+
+```json
+{
+  "application": {
+    "global": {
+      "maintenance": false,
+      "timezone": "Europe/Stockholm"
+    },
+    "secret": "${APPLICATION_SECRET}"
+  },
+  "session": {
+    "cookie": "SID",
+    "timeout": 3600,
+    "driver": "apcu"
+  },
+  "logger": {
+    "level": "notice",
+    "driver": "php"
+  }
+}
+```
 
-If Port number based applications are desired the `<VirtualHost:80>` needs to change to
-the corresponding port, and the `domain.name` removed from the config.
+### 2. Routing
+
+Routes are defined in JSON configuration files:
+
+```json
+{
+  "common": {
+    "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\RequestIdBeforeMiddleware"],
+    "after": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\ResponseLogAfterMiddleware"]
+  },
+  "groups": [
+    {
+      "name": "Public API",
+      "prefix": "/api/v1",
+      "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\CorsBeforeMiddleware"],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/health", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\HealthController" }
+      ]
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "Protected API",
+      "prefix": "/api/v1",
+      "before": ["\\App\\Middlewares\\AuthHttpBeforeMiddleware"],
+      "routes": [
+        { "methods": ["GET"], "path": "/users/{id}", "handler": "\\App\\Controllers\\Api\\UserController" }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
 
-```txt
-<VirtualHost *:80>
+### 3. Controllers
 
-    Define domain.name              mydomain.com
-    Define alias.domain.name        www.mydomain.com
-    Define path_to_root             C:/Path/Project
-    Define environment              DEV
+Controllers extend SPIN's base classes and use specific HTTP method handlers:
 
-    ServerName ${domain.name}
-    ServerAlias ${alias.domain.name}
-    ServerAdmin webmaster@${domain.name}
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
 
-    DocumentRoot "${path_to_root}\src\public"
+namespace App\Controllers;
 
-    ErrorLog "logs/${domain.name}.error.log"
-    CustomLog "logs/${domain.name}.access.log" common
+use \App\Controllers\AbstractPlatesController;
 
-    # Default caching headers for static content in /public
-    <FilesMatch "\.(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$">
-      Header set Cache-Control "public, max-age=604800, must-revalidate"
-    </FilesMatch>
+class IndexController extends AbstractPlatesController
+{
+    public function handleGET(array $args)
+    {
+        $model = ['title' => 'Welcome to SPIN', 'user' => 'Guest'];
+        $html = $this->engine->render('pages::index', $model);
+        return response($html);
+    }
+}
+```
 
-    <Directory "${path_to_root}\src\public">
-        Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
-        AllowOverride All
-        Order allow,deny
-        Allow from all
-        Require all granted
+### 4. Middleware
+
+Middleware extends `Spin\Core\Middleware`:
 
-        # Set Variables
-        SetEnv ENVIRONMENT ${environment}
+```php
+<?php declare(strict_types=1);
+
+namespace App\Middlewares;
+
+use Spin\Core\Middleware;
+
+class AuthMiddleware extends Middleware
+{
+    public function initialize(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $this->secret = config('application.secret');
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    public function handle(array $args): bool
+    {
+        $token = getRequest()->getHeaderLine('Authorization');
+        if (!$this->validateToken($token)) {
+            responseJson(['error' => 'Unauthorized'], 401);
+            return false;
+        }
+        return true;
+    }
+}
+```

- *
- *   This JSON document is then Base64 encoded and put as the header in the HTTP requests/responses.
- *   Header name used is up to the implementers. Possible header names "X-EWT", "X-EWToken"
- *
- *
- * Decoding
- * --------
- *   The decoding part takes the B64 encoded string produced in encode() and decodes the
- *   JSON structure and then the payload. If the Signature matches then the payload is
- *   returned, otherwise NULL is returned.
