START WITH A ROUTE

return [
    'GET' => [
        '/' => [HomeController::class, 'index'],
        '/users/(:num:id)' => [
            UserController::class, 'show'
        ],
    ],
];

THEN WRITE YOUR RESPONSE

public function index(): Response
{
    return $this->view('home', [
        'title' => 'Your next project',
    ]);
}

A FOCUSED FOUNDATION

Keep the moving parts in sight.
