Equip Dispatch

An HTTP Interop compatible middleware dispatcher in Equip. Attempts to be PSR-1, PSR-2, PSR-4, PSR-7, and PSR-15 compliant.

Heavily influenced by the design of Tari by ircmaxwell.

For more information, see the documentation.

Install

composer require equip/dispatch

Usage

The MiddlewareCollection is a container for middleware that acts as the entry point. It takes two arguments:

• An array of $middleware which must be instances of server middleware.
• A callable $default that acts as the terminator for the collection and returns an empty response.

Once the collection is prepared it can dispatched with a server request and will return the response for output.

Example

use Equip\Dispatch\MiddlewareCollection;

// Any implementation of PSR-15 MiddlewareInterface
$middleware = [
    new FooMiddleware(),
    // ...
];

// Default handler for end of collection
$default = function (ServerRequestInterface $request) {
    // Any implementation of PSR-7 ResponseInterface
    return new Response();
};

$collection = new MiddlewareCollection($middleware);

// Any implementation of PSR-7 ServerRequestInterface
$request = ServerRequest::fromGlobals();
$response = $collection->dispatch($request, $default);

Nested Collections

The MiddlewareCollection also implements the MiddlewareInterface to allow collections to be nested:

use Equip\Dispatch\MiddlewareCollection;

// Any implementation of PSR-15 MiddlewareInterface
$middleware = [
    new FooMiddleware(),

    // A nested collection
    new MiddlewareCollection(...),

    // More middleware
    new BarMiddleware(),
    // ...
];

$collection = new MiddlewareCollection($middleware);

// HTTP factories can also be used
$default = [$responseFactory, 'createResponse'];
$request = $serverRequestFactory->createRequest($_SERVER);

$response = $collection->dispatch($request, $default);
