Using Expressive’s middleware in Penny Framework

Posted in Penny Framework, Tutorial PHP, Zend Framework by samsonasik on December 21, 2015

If we are using Penny Framework, we can use Expressive‘s middleware. We can do that with passing callable $next that handle request and response with Penny Event. The $next is simply like the following:

$next = function($request, $response) use ($event) {
   $event->setRequest($request);
   $event->setResponse($response);
};

and we are ready to go! Let’s try to do real example. We need to use los/basepath that can apply “base path” in our application that point to classic-app/public and we can to call: /classic-app/public after our host.

$ composer require los/basepath

We need to invoke the middleware to make it called. So, if we do in ‘bootstrap’ event, we can do:

$eventManager->attach('bootstrap', function($event) {
    $next = function($request, $response) use ($event) {
        $event->setRequest($request);
        $event->setResponse($response);
    };

    $basepathMiddleware = new \LosMiddleware\BasePath\BasePath(
        '/classic-app/public'
    );
    $basepathMiddleware(
        $event->getRequest(),
        $event->getResponse(), 
        $next
    );
});

This is the case if we are using penny skeleton app and we install under ‘classic-app’ directory, and the “front controller” is in public/index.php.

For routed middleware, we can just do the register the middleware as controller:

// config/di.php
// ...
    'router' => function () {
        return \FastRoute\simpleDispatcher(function (\FastRoute\RouteCollector $r) {
            $r->addRoute(
                'GET',
                '/',
                ['App\Controller\IndexController', 'index']
            );

            $r->addRoute(
                'GET',
                '/api/ping',
                ['App\Controller\PingAction', '__invoke']
            );
        });
    },
// ...

That’s it 😉

Middleware implementation in Penny Framework

Posted in Penny Framework, Tutorial PHP by samsonasik on December 6, 2015

Penny is a microframework that has different idea for accomplishing middleware implementation. If we found other frameworks that implements this signatures:

function ($request, $response, $next = null);

In Penny Framework, Middleware implemented via listener that has priority that we call before or/and after. If we need to initialize application flow, you may use ‘bootstrap’ event:

// config/di.php
use App\Middleware\BootstrapMiddleware;
use function DI\decorate;

return [
    'event_manager' => decorate(function($eventManager, $container) {

        $eventManager->attach(
            'bootstrap',
            [$container->get(BootstrapMiddleware::class), 'bootstrap']
        );
        // other attach here...

        return $eventManager;
    }),

    // other service definitions here...
];

We want the middleware executed in all application flow in all controller in the end? use ‘*’ and negative priority:

// config/di.php
use App\Middleware\AllEnderMiddleware;
use function DI\decorate;

return [
    'event_manager' => decorate(function($eventManager, $container) {

        $eventManager->attach(
            '*',
            [$container->get(AllEnderMiddleware::class), 'end'],
            -1
        );
        // other attach here...

        return $eventManager;
    }),

    // other service definitions here...
];

Wanna handle for specific controller’s action ? Use following usage:

// config/di.php
use App\Controller\IndexController;
use App\Middleware\IndexMiddleware;
use function DI\decorate;

return [

    'event_manager' => decorate(function($eventManager, $container) {

            // before ...
            $eventManager->attach(
                IndexController::class.'.index',
                [$container->get(IndexMiddleware::class), 'pre'],
                1
            );

            // after ...
            $eventManager->attach(
                IndexController::class.'.index',
                [$container->get(IndexMiddleware::class), 'post'],
                -1
            );
           // other attach here...

           return $eventManager;
    }),

    // other service definitions here...
];

If we use default Penny EventManager implementation, which is usage Zend Framework 2 EventManager, higher priority will be served first, lower priority will be served later.

If you are familiar with CakePHP, there is already a CakePHP Event implementation, that will serve lower priority first, higher later.

For callable listener, we may create listener service like the following:

namespace App\Middleware;

class IndexMiddleware
{
    public function pre($event)
    {
        $request = $event->getRequest();
        $response = $event->getResponse();

        // manipulate request or/and response here
        $request = $request->withAttribute('foo', 'fooValue');

        // apply manipulated request or/and response
        $event->setRequest($request);
        $event->setResponse($response);
    }

    public function post($event)
    {
        $request = $event->getRequest();
        $response = $event->getResponse();

        // manipulate request or/and response here
        $response = $response->withHeader('X-Powered-By', 'JAVA');

        // apply manipulated request or/and response
        $event->setRequest($request);
        $event->setResponse($response);
    }
}

We can then register the middleware in our Service Container:

//config/di.php
use App\Middleware\AllEnderMiddleware;
use App\Middleware\BootstrapMiddleware;
use App\Middleware\IndexMiddleware;
use function DI\object;

return [
    // ...
    AllEnderMiddleware::class => object(AllEnderMiddleware::class),
    BootstrapMiddleware::class => object(BootstrapMiddleware::class),
    IndexMiddleware::class => object(IndexMiddleware::class),
];
