```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Full PSR-7 (HTTP Message) implementation
- Full PSR-17 (HTTP Factories) implementation
- Immutable value objects
- Strict typing throughout
- Zero dependencies beyond PSR interfaces

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### Creating a Request

[](#creating-a-request)

```
use Lighthouse\Http\Request;

// Simple request
$request = new Request('GET', 'https://api.example.com/users');

// Request with headers and body
$request = new Request(
    method: 'POST',
    uri: 'https://api.example.com/users',
    headers: [
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
        'Accept' => 'application/json',
    ],
    body: json_encode(['name' => 'John'])
);
```

### Creating a Server Request from Globals

[](#creating-a-server-request-from-globals)

```
use Lighthouse\Http\ServerRequest;

// Create from PHP superglobals
$request = ServerRequest::fromGlobals();

// Access request data
$method = $request->getMethod();
$path = $request->getUri()->getPath();
$query = $request->getQueryParams();
$body = $request->getParsedBody();
```

### Creating a Response

[](#creating-a-response)

```
use Lighthouse\Http\Response;

// Simple response
$response = new Response(200);

// Response with body
$response = new Response(
    statusCode: 200,
    headers: ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'],
    body: json_encode(['status' => 'ok'])
);

// Check response status
if ($response->isSuccessful()) {
    // 2xx response
}
```

### Working with Streams

[](#working-with-streams)

```
use Lighthouse\Http\Stream;

// Create from string
$stream = Stream::create('Hello, World!');

// Create from file
$stream = Stream::createFromFile('/path/to/file.txt', 'r');

// Read and write
$content = $stream->getContents();
$stream->write('more data');
```

### Working with URIs

[](#working-with-uris)

```
use Lighthouse\Http\Uri;

$uri = new Uri('https://user:pass@example.com:8080/path?query=value#fragment');

$scheme = $uri->getScheme();     // 'https'
$host = $uri->getHost();         // 'example.com'
$port = $uri->getPort();         // 8080
$path = $uri->getPath();         // '/path'
$query = $uri->getQuery();       // 'query=value'

// Modify (returns new instance)
$newUri = $uri->withPath('/new-path')->withQuery('new=query');
```

### Using Factories (PSR-17)

[](#using-factories-psr-17)

```
use Lighthouse\Http\Factory\RequestFactory;
use Lighthouse\Http\Factory\ResponseFactory;
use Lighthouse\Http\Factory\StreamFactory;
use Lighthouse\Http\Factory\UriFactory;

$requestFactory = new RequestFactory();
$request = $requestFactory->createRequest('GET', 'https://example.com');

$responseFactory = new ResponseFactory();
$response = $responseFactory->createResponse(200, 'OK');

$streamFactory = new StreamFactory();
$stream = $streamFactory->createStream('content');

$uriFactory = new UriFactory();
$uri = $uriFactory->createUri('https://example.com');
```

PSR-7 Interfaces Implemented
----------------------------

[](#psr-7-interfaces-implemented)

InterfaceImplementation`MessageInterface``Message` (abstract)`RequestInterface``Request``ServerRequestInterface``ServerRequest``ResponseInterface``Response``StreamInterface``Stream``UriInterface``Uri``UploadedFileInterface``UploadedFile`PSR-17 Interfaces Implemented

InterfaceImplementation`RequestFactoryInterface``RequestFactory``ServerRequestFactoryInterface``ServerRequestFactory``ResponseFactoryInterface``ResponseFactory``StreamFactoryInterface``StreamFactory``UriFactoryInterface``UriFactory``UploadedFileFactoryInterface``UploadedFileFactory`Immutability
------------

[](#immutability)

All PSR-7 objects are immutable. Methods that appear to modify the object actually return a new instance:

```
$request = new Request('GET', 'https://example.com');

// This returns a NEW request - doesn't modify original
$newRequest = $request->withMethod('POST');

$request->getMethod();    // Still 'GET'
$newRequest->getMethod(); // 'POST'
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```

Part of the Lighthouse Framework
--------------------------------

[](#part-of-the-lighthouse-framework)

This package is part of the [Lighthouse Framework](https://github.com/lighthouse-php), an educational PHP framework designed to teach how modern frameworks work internally.
