Commander
=========

[](#commander)

Micro-Service Command/Event Framework

Commander maps a HTTP Request to a Command Handler and listens for Framework Events.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

1. Write a Command Handler

    - Make sure to Fire `CompletedEvent`
    - Make sure to Fire `ErrorEvent`
2. Tell commander what end-point the handler is for
3. Do something with your Event

Use Cases
---------

[](#use-cases)

Currently we only support JSON APIs.

Simple Example
--------------

[](#simple-example)

```
$commander = new Commander();
$this->commander->get('/user/{id}', 'user.cache.get', SimpleGetUserHandler::class);
$commander->run();

//In SimpleGetUserHandler
class SimpleGetUserHandler extends Handler
{
    /**
     * @param CommandInterface $command
     */
    public function handle(CommandInterface $command)
    {
        $this->eventBus->notify(CompletedEvent::makeEvent(['id' => '1'])); //fill in the user info
    }
}
```

Why ??
------

[](#why-)

- CQRS!
- Less Boilerplate.
- Greater Testability.
- No Controllers or Controller Actions...
- Better Resource Usage

Framework Events
----------------

[](#framework-events)

You can subscribe to the following Framework Events

- Framework.Complete

    - This event is raised when the response has been completed
    - Payload: `User Defined`
- Framework.Error

    - This event is raised if there has been an error somewhere
    - Payload: `User Defined` or Framework Errors are `["message" => "..."]`
- Framework.CommandBus.Handle

    - This event is fired when a Command Handler is about to be executed
    - Payload: `[CommandKey]`
- Framework.Invoke

    - This event is fired when a Command is about to be fired to the command bus
    - Payload: `["commandKey" => "", "commandClass" => ""]`
- Framework.EventBus.Notify

    - This event is fired when an Event is about to be sent to the EventBus.
    - Will not propagate Framework.EventBus.Notify's
    - Payload: `callable... [$object, "method"]`
