slim-reactor
============

[](#slim-reactor)

React Http server with Slim 3 as request handler. Slim-reactor allows you to run your Slim 3 application faster than traditional php-fpm. This goal is achieved by skipping the expensive bootstrap of PHP and framework. This is just a lib, witch can be used in skeleton like [slim-reactor-skeleton](https://github.com/crazy-goat/slim-reactor-skeleton). You will also need process manager like this one [goatherd](https://github.com/crazy-goat/goatherd).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The easiest way to install slim-reactor is download it using composer

```
composer require crazygoat/slim-reactor

```

Usage example
-------------

[](#usage-example)

Below is minimal code to run slim inside react http server

```
$app = new App(); // vanilla slim app see limitation

//or

$app = new SlimReactorApp(); //

//some app configuration here

$slimReactor  = new SlimReactor($app);
$slimReactor->run();

```

More examples you will find in [examples directory](https://github.com/crazy-goat/slim-reactor/tree/master/examples).

### Known vanilla Slim App limitations

[](#known-vanilla-slim-app-limitations)

The vanilla Slim App (`Slim\App`) was not designed to run as part of React Http server so it has some usage limitations.

- You can't use optional parameters in routes. Slim `Route` will remember optional attributes between request. Once optional attribute is in request, next request without this attribute will be still in route. **Fixed in SlimReactor**.

Most of these problem were fixed in `SlimReactorApp` and this class is prefered to be used with `SlimReactor`.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can change default parameter, by passing second parameter to `SlimReactor` constructor.

```
$slimReactor = new SlimReactor(
    $app,
    [
        // options here
    ]
);

```

Available options:

- `socket` - socket address, to listening on localhost interface on port 80 set this valut to `127.0.0.1:80`. Default value is: `0.0.0.0:0`
- `loopInterface` - option to pass you loop interface. If this option is not set, SlimRector will create it's own instance of loop interface. Default value `null`.
- `convertToSlim` - boolean option to convert PSR-7 request/response to Slim Request/Respnse classes. This is required to set to `true` if your code use internal slim function like `Response->withJson()`. By default it's set to `true`. If we are sure, that your code is not using Slim internal functions setting this option to `false` can signify speedup your application.
- `staticContentPath` - path (can be relative) to static content directory. If set, then SlimReactor will try to serve static file if exists in `staticContentPath` directory. If file not exists SlimReactor will try to find matching route. Default value `null`.
