RestFn
======

[](#restfn)

RestFn ("REST function") is a PHP library for building a single, functional-style endpoint.

Instead of having many REST endpoints, you have one. The client sends a request that is a tree of operations, and the server runs that tree to shape the response. You write actions for the actual work, and the client composes those actions with built-in operations (get, map, sort, run, and so on) to get back the data it needs in one request.

RestFn is the engine for this. It gives you the operation language and a dependency injection container to wire everything together; you provide the endpoint and the actions.

Requires PHP 8.4+.
