Application Laravel Package
joomla/application
Joomla Framework Application package providing AbstractApplication base classes for building apps. Includes lifecycle initialise hook, input/config handling, execute flow with doExecute(), response headers/body helpers, and PSR-3 LoggerAwareInterface support for integrating logging.
Updating from v1 to v2
The following changes were made to the Application package between v1 and v2.
Minimum supported PHP version raised
All Framework packages now require PHP 7.2 or newer.
PSR-7 Responses now supported
In order to support PSR-7 responses there is a single break in backwards incompatibility. The \Joomla\Application\AbstractWebApplication::getBody() method does not have a toBody parameter.
The package internals use the Laminas Diactoros package for building the Response object. If you wish to use another PSR-7 compatible library you will need to extend the setHeader, getHeaders, clearHeaders, setBody, prependBody, and appendBody methods.
AbstractWebApplication::checkToken now validates a token
The method \Joomla\Application\AbstractWebApplication::checkToken has been changed to validate a token in addition to checking if it is present in the request. Additionally, the homepage redirect on an invalid token has been removed.
CLI Classes Removed
The \Joomla\Application\AbstractCliApplication and all Joomla\Application\Cli namespace classes have been removed. The new joomla/console package should be used going forward.
Added a concrete web application
There is a new \Joomla\Application\WebApplication class available which serves as a minimal but functional web application class. This class extends \Joomla\Application\AbstractWebApplication and implements \Joomla\Application\SessionAwareWebApplicationInterface and therefore makes all application features available out-of-the-box.
$input property moved to web application classes
The $input property of \Joomla\Application\AbstractApplication has been moved to \Joomla\Application\AbstractWebApplication and is no longer required to create a minimal application. With the introduction of the joomla/console package, which does not use the joomla/input package to read the console input, it is no longer practical to require all application classes support this input API.
Additionally, direct access to the property has been deprecated. To access the input, you should use the \Joomla\Application\AbstractWebApplication::getInput() method. Direct read access to the property will be removed in 3.0.
Session functionality moved to new application interface/trait
As sessions are not a mandatory function of web applications, session related functionality has been moved to a new \Joomla\Application\SessionAwareWebApplicationInterface extending \Joomla\Application\WebApplicationInterface. \Joomla\Application\SessionAwareWebApplicationTrait is provided to simplify implementing this interface in your application.
Interfaces for application classes
Interfaces have been created for the application classes with the following structure:
\Joomla\Application\ApplicationInterfacedefines the base requirements for all applications\Joomla\Application\ConfigurationAwareApplicationInterfacedefines an application which is aware of a configuration object\Joomla\Application\WebApplicationInterfacedefines a web application handling HTTP requests and serving HTTP responses\Joomla\Application\SessionAwareWebApplicationInterfacedefines a web application which requires session support
