zf Build Status

a micro php framework/router for both web and cli

use closure as request handler
param handler(inspired by expressjs)
commandline routing
events
jsonp support
lazy
scalable
requires php 5.4
ideal for building restful apis or commandline apps

synopsis

to install using composer, add the fellowing to your composer.json

{
 "require": {
 "zweifisch/zf": "*"
 }
}

if you're not using composer, download soruce code here

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; # require 'zf/zf.php'; if you are not using composer
$app = new \zf\App();
$app->get('/hello/:name', function(){
	$this->send(['hello' => $this->params->name]);
})->run();

component

components are just classes attached to the $app instance, any class can used, \zf\Mongo and \zf\Redis are available out of the box:

$app->register('mongo', '\zf\Mongo', $app->config->mongo);
$app->register('redis', '\zf\Redis', $app->config->redis);
// \zf\Mongo won't be initilazed unless $app->mongo is accessed
$app->mongo->users->findOne();

param

$app->delete('/users/:user_ids', function() {
	$this->send(['deleted'=>count($this->params->user_ids)]);
});
$app->param('user_ids', function($user_ids) {
	$ids = explode('-', $user_ids);
	if(count($ids) <= 10){
		return $ids;
	}
	$this->send(400);
});

the param handler won't be called, unless $this->params->user_ids is accessed

events

$app->on('user:hit', function($data){
	# write to log
});
$app->on('user:hit', function($data){
	$this->redis->users->zincrby('hotusers',1,$data['_id']);
});
$app->get('/user/:id', function($data){
	$user = $this->mongo->user->findOne(['_id'=>$this->params->id]);
	$this->emit('user:hit', $user);
	$this->send($user);
});

helper

$app->helper('item', function($array, $key, $default=null){
	return isset($array[$key]) ? $array[$key] : $default;
});
$app->get('/user/:id', function(){
	$users = [2 => 'zf'];
	$this->send($this->helper->item($users, $this->params->id, 'not found'));
});

registrated helpers can also be accessed using $this->myhelper();

call other request handler

$app->handler('index', function(){
	$this->render('index');
});
$app->handler('/index.php', function(){
	$this->pass('index');
});

access inputs

request body

$this->body is parsed from raw request body according to content type (json|formdata) and wraped as a FancyObject, $app->set('nofancy'); will keep it as an array.

request body:

{
	"action": "login",
	"user": {
		"name" : "admin",
		"password": "secret"
	}
}

access them:

$action = $this->body->action->in('login','register')->asStr();
$name = $this->body->user->name->minlen(3)->maxlen(20)->asStr();
$password = $this->body->user->password->minlen(8)->asStr();

query string

access $_GET['page'] and $_GET['size']

$page = $this->query->page->asInt(1);
$size = $this->query->size->between(10,20)->asInt();

asX

available types are asStr, asInt, asNum, asArray, asFile

$app->post('/upload',function(){
	$file = $this->body->image->asFile();
	$file->extension;
	new \MongoBinData($file->content); // content won't be read unless accessed
});

it's possible to add new types:

$app->map('User', function($value){
	return new User($value);
});
$this->body->asUser()->save();

validation

when validation fails, null will be returned and validation:failed will be emmitted.

$password = $this->body->user->password->minlen(8)->asStr();
// all keys are required, unless a default value is supplied:
$gender = $this->body->user->gender->in(0,1)->asInt(0);
$app->on('validation:failed', function($message){
	$this->send(400, $message);
});

available validators between, min, max, in, minlen, maxlen

add a new validator:

$app->validator('startWith', function($str) {
	return function($value) use ($str) {
		return 0 == strncmp($value, $value, strlen($str));
	};
});
// use it
$this->body->some->key->startWith(':')->asStr();

response

$this->send($statusCode);
$this->send($statusCode, $body);
$this->send($statusCode, $body, ['type'=>$contentType]);
$this->send($body);
$this->send($body, ['type'=>$contentType, 'charset'=>$charset]);

json response

$this->set('pretty'); # enable json pretty print
$this->send($object);

lastModified

$this->lastModified($timestamp);

cacheControl

$this->cacheControl('public', 'must-revalidate', ['max-age'=> 60]);

jsonp

$app->jsonp($result);

if $_GET['callback'] is set, javascript will be returned, otherwise it's equivelent to $this->send($result)

views

there is no nested, complicated server side view rendering mechanism in zf. but it's still possible to rendering simple views in plain old php. please consider client side view rendering using requirejs with knockoutjs, angularjs or similar libs/framworks.

in request handler

$this->render('index',['pageview'=>1000]);

and in views/index.php

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<title></title>
</head>
<body>
	Pageview today: <?= $this->pageview ?> 
</body>
</html>

to specify a different location other than views, use $app->set('views','path/to/templates');

configs

configs.php will be loaded if exists

set

$app->set('key','value');
$app->set('fancy'); # equivelant to $app->set('fancy', true);
$app->set('nofancy'); # equivelant to $app->set('fancy', false);

retrieve

$app->config->key;

chaining

$app->get('/user/:id', function(){
	# ...
})->post('/user', function(){
	# ...
})->run();

debug

dump object in header

$app->set('debug');
$app->debug($msg, $object);

cli

$app->cmd('hello <name>', function(){
	echo 'say hello to ', $this->params->name;
});
$app->set('pretty');
$app->cmd('ls user --skip <from> --limit <max> <pattern>', function(){
	this->send($this->params);
});

all options are required, unless default values are provided

$app->cmd('ls user --skip <from> --limit <max> <pattern>', function(){
	# ...
})->defaults(['max' => 20]);

help info

if no command matched(404), a help message will be printed, and program will exit with err(code 1);

get piped input

use $this->getstdin();

handle signals

see examples/cli.php for more details

$app->sigint(function(){
	echo 'ctrl-c pressed';
	exit(0);
});

scalability

request/param/event handlers, validators and mappers

all can be put in it's own file

$app->post('/user', 'create-user');

return a closure in handlers/create-user.php

return function() {
	# ...
};

request handlers should be located in handlers by default, this can be changed using $app->set('handlers','path/to/handlers');

similarly, event handlers in events, param handlers in params ...

helpers

when calling a helper which is not registrated, zf will look for it under helpers

$app->on('error', function($data){
	# helpers/mail.php will be loaded
	$this->helper->mail(['to'=>$this->config->admin,'body'=>$data->message]);
});

helpers can also be registrated in this way:

$app->helper(['helper','helper2','helper3']);
// so they can be accessed as
$app->helper3(); # ommit the 'helper'

laziness

$app->register won't initilize class
$app->attr = closure closure won't be invoked unless $app->attr is accessed
param handler won't be called unless $app->params->param is accessed, to make the handler get called as soon as possible, supply a extra parameter like this $app->param('param','handler',true);
request body won't be parsed unless $app->body is accessed

optional dependencies

phpredis
mongo sudo pecl install mongo

examples

there is an exmaple demostrating how to add/list/delte users, to run it using php's builtin server: (needs the php mongo extension metioned above)

cd examples && php -S localhost:5000

a cli example is also included.

tests

run tests

composer.phar install --dev
vendor/bin/phpunit -c tests
