Avro RPC Generator
==================

[](#avro-rpc-generator)

See [Avro](http://avro.apache.org/) for a full documentation on Avro and its usage in PHP.

This library use [avro-rpc-php](https://github.com/eliep/avro-rpc-php) as an implementation of the Avro RPC protocol in php.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require eliep/avro-rpc-php-generator
```

Protocol class Generation
-------------------------

[](#protocol-class-generation)

The script is located in your vendor/bin folder:

```
php vendor/bin/generate.php --help
```

Required arguments:

- --input (-i) *dir* : The folder containing your Avro protocol
- --output (-o) *dir* : The folder where the protocol classes will be written

Optional argument:

- --prefix (-p) *namespace*: The namespace prefix of the output directory
- --stringType (-s) : If the requestor will be used with a java implementation using String instead of CharSequence
- --apcu (-a) : use APCu to cache the parsed protocol.

Namespacing
-----------

[](#namespacing)

The generate script will respect the namespace defined in your avro protocol. For example, if you have define "my.avro" as your protocol namespace, the script:

- create the folder `My\Avro` in the directory specified by the -o option.
- use `My\Avro` for the generated php class.

Note: If the directory specified by the -o option has a namespace, you can use the option -p to specify it so that the namespace of the generated php class will use it.

The name of the generate class will be protocol name with the `Requestor` suffix (if your protocol's name is `Protocol`, the class name will be `ProtocolRequestor`);

Protocol class Usage
--------------------

[](#protocol-class-usage)

For example, if your protocol is:

```
{
 "namespace": "my.avro",
 "protocol": "Protocol",

 "types": [
     {"type": "record", "name": "SimpleRequest",
      "fields": [{"name": "subject",   "type": "string"}]
     },
     {"type": "record", "name": "SimpleResponse",
      "fields": [{"name": "something",   "type": "string"}]
     }
 ],

 "messages": {
    "requestSomething": {
      "request": [{"name": "message", "type": "SimpleRequest"}],
      "response": "SimpleResponse"
    }
  }
}
```

you can connect to an Avro RPC Server with

```
use My\Avro\ProtocolRequestor

$serverHost = '127.0.0.1';
$serverPort = 1412;
try {
  $requestor = new ProtocolRequestor($serverHost, $serverPort);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // unable to reach the server.
}
```

The `ProtocolRequestor` set a temporary error handler to detect if the socket connection worked. If not, the constructor throw a php Exception.

The `ProtocolRequestor` class contains one function for each message in your protocol. These functions accept as many argument as defined by the corresponding message.

You can call:

```
$response = $requestor->requestSomething(array("subject" => "ping"));
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

An example is available in example/ folder.

- Start a server

```
php bin/generate.php sample_rpc_server.php
```

- Use the sample client

```
php bin/generate.php sample_rpc_client.php
```

- Regenerate the sample client

```
php bin/generate.php --input example/avro/ --output example/ --prefix Example --stringType
```
