Reference implementations of the [Front-Interop](https://github.com/front-interop/interface) interface for PHP 8.4+.

These implementations are intentionally naive — they exist to showcase the [*FrontController*](https://github.com/front-interop/interface#frontcontroller) contract itself. Production front controllers would be obtained from an IoC container and would compose a request/response system, a router/dispatcher, a robust error handler, and so on.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require front-interop/impl

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Three reference implementations cover three execution contexts.

### *ConsoleFrontController*

[](#consolefrontcontroller)

A typical command-line console front controller, reading `$argv` and writing to injected `$stdout`/`$stderr` resources.

```
php bin/hello.php World

```

### *RequestFrontController*

[](#requestfrontcontroller)

A typical HTTP front controller, reading `$_GET` and emitting HTML.

Run `composer hello` at the package root, then visit:

### *FrankenFrontController*

[](#frankenfrontcontroller)

A specialized front controller for [FrankenPHP](https://frankenphp.dev), wrapping a `RequestFrontController` in a `frankenphp_handle_request()` worker loop bounded by an optional maximum request count (`0` for unbounded).

Classes
-------

[](#classes)

InterfaceImplementation*FrontController*`ConsoleFrontController`, `RequestFrontController`, `FrankenFrontController`All classes are in the `FrontInterop\Impl` namespace.

See the [Front-Interop](https://github.com/front-interop/interface) interface package for the full specification.
