PSRs & Middleware Pipeline

This interfaces are already (and amazingly) implemented by Laminas at projects: Diactoros and Stratigility. Siler wraps them and exposes a function-friendly API handling state internally while achieving a fully-featured and declarative way for: Middleware Pipelining.

PSR-7 HTTP Messages

Siler doesn't have direct dependencies, to stay fit, it favors peer dependencies, which means you have to explicitly declare a diactoros dependency in your project in order to use it.

composer require laminas/laminas-diactoros

You can create a superglobals seeded ServerRequest with Siler\Diactoros\request():

use Siler\Diactoros;

$request = Diactoros\request();

And create Responses through helpers:

$json = Diactoros\json(['some' => 'data']);
$html = Diactoros\html('<p>some markup</p>');
$text = Diactoros\text('plain text');

If none of them fits your needs, you can create a raw Response:

$response = Diactoros\response();
$response->getBody()->write('something');

To emit a Response, there is no big deal, if you got Siler, you already imagined that is about one or two function calls, but this time we get the help from HttpHandlerRunner:

composer require laminas/laminas-httphandlerrunner

Then

As in Siler\Http\Response namespace functions, the HttpHandlerRunner\sapi_emit will output headers and text to the buffer, use it carefully.

Example:

PSR-15 Middleware Pipelining

Siler doesn't have direct dependencies, to stay fit, it favors peer dependencies, which means you have to explicitly declare a stratigility dependency in your project in order to use it.

A very simple Hello World example:

It's more uses than actual code because Siler is abstracting all the way down for you.

API

Description

pipe

Creates a Stratigility MiddlewarePipe with a default name and pipes the given Clousure to it already wrapping it inside a MiddlewareInterface decorator, or you can pass any implementation MiddlewareInterface to it.

text

Creates a Diactoros TextResponse. The Diactoros namespace in Siler is basically just helper functions for Responses.

sapi_emit

Creates and immediately calls emit method on a HttpHandlerRunner SapiEmitter.

handle

Calls handle on a MiddlewarePipe marshaling the Request.

request

Creates a Diactoros ServerRequest using PHP's Globals.

Siler's Routes

You can also run pipelines for specific routes:

The second argument on pipe here is a Pipeline name, you can pipe middlewares to any number of pipelines, then in Stratigility\process we marshal it, from the given $request and returns a Closure to be called on a final handler.
