README

Integrates nikic/fast-route with phpnomad/rest as a runtime REST router. This is the standard non-WordPress RestStrategy for PHPNomad applications. It hosts controllers defined against phpnomad/rest inside a FastRoute dispatcher, binds PHP-superglobal-backed Request and Response implementations for phpnomad/http, and dispatches routes in response to a RequestInitiated event.

Installation

The Composer package name is phpnomad/fastroute-rest-integration, even though the repository is named fastroute-integration.

composer require phpnomad/fastroute-rest-integration

What This Provides

• RestStrategy implementing PHPNomad\Rest\Interfaces\RestStrategy, backed by nikic/fast-route. It registers controllers as FastRoute handlers, runs any middleware declared on the controller, and runs interceptors after the response is built.
• Request and Response classes that implement the phpnomad/http interfaces. Request reads from $_SERVER, $_REQUEST, and php://input. Response is an in-memory status, headers, and body holder with JSON and error helpers.
• RestInitializer, a loader initializer that registers the bindings above and attaches a DispatchRequest listener to the RequestInitiated event.

Requirements

• phpnomad/rest, the abstraction this integration implements
• phpnomad/loader, to run the initializer
• nikic/fast-route, pulled in automatically by Composer

Usage

Add RestInitializer to the initializer list you pass to the Bootstrapper. Once load() runs, your controllers are routed through FastRoute and dispatched when a RequestInitiated event fires.

<?php

use PHPNomad\Core\Bootstrap\CoreInitializer;
use PHPNomad\Di\Container\Container;
use PHPNomad\FastRoute\Component\RestInitializer;
use PHPNomad\Loader\Bootstrapper;

$container = new Container();

(new Bootstrapper(
    $container,
    new CoreInitializer(),
    new RestInitializer(),
    new MyAppInitializer()
))->load();

MyAppInitializer is where you register your own controllers via HasControllers. See the bootstrapping guide at phpnomad.com for the full picture.
