Phluid

A microframework for PHP. Quite heavily inspired by Express. Build Status

Built on top of ReactPHP.

Install

Composer sample composer.json

{
  "name" : "beaucollins/sample-app",
  "require" : {
    "phluid/phluid":"master-dev"
  }
}

Example

Add Phluid to your composer.json and $> composer install. Throw this into server.php:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
    
$app = new Phluid\App();

// add some handlers

$app->get( '/', function( $request, $response ){
  $response->renderText( 'Hello World' );
});

$app->get( '/hello/:name', function( $request, $response ){
  $response->renderText( "Hello {$request->param('name')}");
});

$app->listen( 4000 );

Then boot up your server from the command line:

$> php server.php

Open http://localhost:4000/ in your browser.

Middleware

Any invocable PHP object can be used as a middleware. It receives three arguments: $request, $response, and $next. If the middleware decides it doesn't need to handle the request it can simply call $next().

// You can use a "closure"
$app->inject( function( $request, $response, $next ){
  if( 0 === strpos( $request->path, '/admin/' ) ){
    $response->redirectTo( '/login' );
  } else {
    $next();
  }
});

// You can use a string that contains the name of a function
function server_header( $request, $response, $next ){
  $response->setHeader( 'X-Served-By', 'Phluid' );
  $next();
};
$app->inject( 'server_header' );

// Any callable works, so you use an object if you like
$warden = new Warden();
$app->inject( array( $warden, 'protect' ) );
// calls $warden->protect( $request, $response, $next )

There are quite a few middlewares provided already:

  • BasicAuth: add's support for HTTP Basic Auth header parsing
  • Cascade: Chain middleware together
  • ExceptionHandler: Renders a stack trace error page for debugging
  • FormBodyParser: Parses form encoded request bodies
  • JsonBodyParser: Parses JSON request bodies
  • MultipartBodyParser: Parses multipart requests
  • Prefix: Mounts middleware under a prefix
  • RequestTimer: Records time for the full request/response cycle
  • StaticFiles: Serves static files from a specified folder
  • Cookies: Parsing cookie request header and sending set-cookie response headers
  • Sessions: Stateful data based on a session id cookie, pluggable session storage mechanism
  • Cache: Implements If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match conditional GET requests

Configurations

It may be useful to have different configurations depending on your application's environment (e.g. "production" vs "development").

For instance, when developing locally it may be easier to use the Sessions\MemoryStore to handle session persistence while the production environment would require something more robust like Sessions\PredisStore. To make this configuration more explicit use Phluid\App::configure:

<?php

$app->configure( 'production', function( $app ){
  $predis_client = use Predis\Async\Client( $host, $port );
  $app->inject( new Phluid\Middleware\Sessions( array(
    'store' => new Phluid\Middleware\PredisStore( $predis_client ),
    'secret' => 'asdfasiu38fhw998hfsoih908s'
  ) ) );
});

$app->configure( 'development', function( $app ){
  $app
    ->inject( new Phluid\Middleware\ExceptionHandler() )
    ->inject( new Phluid\Middleware\Sessions( array(
      'secret' => 'protects-sessions'
    ) ) );
});

By default Phluid\App while use development for it's environment but this cay be changed by using the PHLUID_ENV environment variable or providing the environment to the Phluid\App::__construct method.

Filters

Instead of providing middleware for every request, middleware can be added to specific routes:

// class AwesomeSauce implements __invoke( $request, $response, $next )
$awesome = new AwesomeSauce( 'config' );
$app->get( '/admin/', $awesome, function( $request, $response ){
  $response->renderText( 'Hello World' );
} );
// $awesome->__invoke( $req, $res, $next ) is called before the action

Passing an array of middlewares will execute each middleware for that route:

$filters = array(
  // calls RequestLogger::__invoke instance method
  new RequestLogger( "/var/log/phluid" ),
  // calls  RequestLogger::logRequest instance method
  array( new RequestLogger(), 'logRequest' ),
  // calls RequestLogger::someMethod
  array( 'RequestLogger', 'someMethod' ),
  // call logRequest() global function
  'logRequest'
);

$app->get( '/logout', $filters, function( $request, $response, $next ){
  $request->session->user = null;
  $response->renderText( "Goodbye." );
} );

Templating

Phluid comes with a pretty basic templating system. Given a route like this in a file named index.php:

$app->get( '/', function( $req, $res ){
  $current_user = findCurrentUser();
  $res->render( 'home', array( 'user' => $current_user ) );
});

Phluid will look in a folder named views in the same directory as the index.php for a file named home.php to use as the template. This file is interpreted as regular old PHP with the array extracted into local variables for the view:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
  <?php echo strrev( 'dlrow olleh' ) ?>, <?php echo $user->username ?>
</body>

Layouts

Templates aren't only regular PHP, there's a little magic added behind the scenes too. Each view is executed in the context of a Phluid\ViewContext instance which gives you some convenient templating methods to help you organize your content.

First off, there is the layout method. Let's assume you want to have all your boilerplate HTML in one file and you just want to render the view into that file. In your view you can call $this->layout to tell the templating system which layout to render the view into. So if you change your home.php to:

<?php $this->layout( 'public' ) ?>
<?php echo strrev( 'dlrow olleh' ) ?>, <?php echo $user->username ?>

The templating system will then look for a public.php file and render it with the content of the home.php view. To make this work you need to use the content template method in your layout:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
  <?php echo $this->content() ?>
</body>

Since layouts are just views themselves, they too can have layouts.

You can also define a default layout for all Phluid\Request::render calls by providing the Phluid\App::default_layout setting.
