`reactphp-input-stream`
=======================

[](#reactphp-input-stream)

What is this?
-------------

[](#what-is-this)

A compact library that can wrap a non-blocking input to behave like a [stream](https://reactphp.org/stream/) in a [ReactPHP EventLoop](https://reactphp.org/event-loop/).

How do I use this?
------------------

[](#how-do-i-use-this)

Check out the `examples` folder. It contains a very basic example of a non-blocking input implementation, as well as a very (*very*) lame joke generator.

Why is this useful?
-------------------

[](#why-is-this-useful)

I needed to respond to incoming AMQP messages in my event loop and I was feeling adventurous.
Admittedly, I could have just used a periodic timer directly (that is what this library uses under the hood), but where's the fun in that?

I hear you ask: "*Where's the code that deals with the AMQP messages*?"
While I was writing this, I felt like it would be useful to separate the logic of dealing with input in a stream-like manner from the logic that deals with AMQP messages.
This means you can reuse this library to map practically anything to a readable stream.
An extra-lame example of this can be found in `examples/jokes_example.php`.

When the code for AMQP consumption as stream is finished, I will link it here.

Where are the unit tests?
-------------------------

[](#where-are-the-unit-tests)

*Errrrrr...*

How do I install this?
----------------------

[](#how-do-i-install-this)

This should do it [once it's available on Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/joopschilder/):

```
composer require joopschilder/reactphp-input-stream
```

Mandatory block of example code
-------------------------------

[](#mandatory-block-of-example-code)

```
// Say, we have an event loop...
$loop = Factory::create();

// And say, we have a non-blocking input called $input...
$input = new DemoNonBlockingInput();

// Then we can create a ReadableStream from it like so:
$stream = new ReadableNonBlockingInputStream($input, $loop);

// If your 'select()' method takes a long time to execute, or you just don't
// feel like polling the input availability that often, you can
// set a custom polling interval by supplying an instance of PollingInterval
// as the third constructor parameter:
$lowPollingStream = new ReadableNonBlockingInputStream($input, $loop, new PollingInterval(5));

// Of course, the stream emits all expected events (except end)
$stream->on('data', fn() => print('m'));
$stream->on('error', fn() => print('e'));
$stream->on('close', fn() => print('c'));

// If you know what data your input returns, you may type-hint it:
$stream->on('data', fn(Joke $joke) => print($joke . PHP_EOL));

// Add a periodic timer for demonstration purposes
$loop->addPeriodicTimer(0.2, fn() => print('.'));

// And kick 'er off.
$loop->run();
```
