Serializable Closure Laravel Package

laravel/serializable-closure

Securely serialize and unserialize PHP closures with Laravel’s maintained fork of opis/closure 3.x, updated for modern PHP without requiring FFI. Wrap closures in SerializableClosure, set a secret key, and safely persist or transport executable callbacks.

Serializable Closure

Introduction

This project is a fork of the excellent opis/closure: 3.x package. At Laravel, we decided to fork this package as the upcoming version 4.x is a complete rewrite on top of the FFI extension. As Laravel is a web framework, and FFI is not enabled by default in web requests, this fork allows us to keep using the 3.x series while adding support for new PHP versions.

Laravel Serializable Closure provides an easy and secure way to serialize closures in PHP.

Official Documentation

Installation

Requires PHP 7.4+

First, install Laravel Serializable Closure via the Composer package manager:

composer require laravel/serializable-closure

Usage

You may serialize a closure this way:

use Laravel\SerializableClosure\SerializableClosure;

$closure = fn () => 'james';

// Recommended
SerializableClosure::setSecretKey('secret');

$serialized = serialize(new SerializableClosure($closure));
$closure = unserialize($serialized)->getClosure();

echo $closure(); // james;

Caveats

  • Serializing closures on REPL environments like Laravel Tinker is not supported.
  • Multiple closures defined on the same source line with identical signatures may not be distinguishable after serialization. Place each closure on its own line to avoid this.
