Usage

The first step is to create and configure the BearCMS\Universal instance.

$bearCMS = new BearCMS\Universal([
    'dataDir' => __DIR__ . '/../bearcms/data', // The directory where the website data will be stored
    'logsDir' => __DIR__ . '/../bearcms/logs', // The directory for logs
    'appSecretKey' => 'TODO' // Get your app secret key from https://bearcms.com/
]);

Then use captureStart() and captureSend() to automatically capture the output HTML and send it to the Bear CMS client.

$bearCMS->captureStart();
// Place the HTML code of your page here (or include it from other file)
$bearCMS->captureSend();

Alternatively you can use ...

$response = $bearCMS->makeResponse('SOME HTML CODE');
$bearCMS->send($response);

Any <bearcms...> HTML tags will be automatically updated for preview or editing (if there is a logged in administrator).
