Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require lighthouse/middleware ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2 or higher Features -------- [](#features) - PSR-15 compliant middleware pipeline - Onion-style middleware processing - Callable middleware support - Request/response modification - Short-circuit capability Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) ### Basic Pipeline [](#basic-pipeline) ``` use Lighthouse\Middleware\Pipeline; use Lighthouse\Middleware\CallableMiddleware; use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface; $pipeline = new Pipeline(); // Add middleware $pipeline->pipe(new LoggingMiddleware()); $pipeline->pipe(new AuthenticationMiddleware()); $pipeline->pipe(new RoutingMiddleware()); // Process request $response = $pipeline->handle($request); ``` ### Callable Middleware [](#callable-middleware) You can use closures instead of full middleware classes: ``` $pipeline->pipe(function ($request, $handler) { // Before: modify request $request = $request->withAttribute('start_time', microtime(true)); // Call next middleware $response = $handler->handle($request); // After: modify response return $response->withHeader('X-Request-Time', microtime(true) - $request->getAttribute('start_time')); }); ``` ### Middleware Order (Onion Model) [](#middleware-order-onion-model) Middleware is processed in order added, but responses flow back in reverse: ``` $pipeline->pipe($middleware1); // Executes first, returns last $pipeline->pipe($middleware2); // Executes second, returns second-to-last $pipeline->pipe($middleware3); // Executes last, returns first // Request flow: middleware1 → middleware2 → middleware3 → handler // Response flow: middleware1 ← middleware2 ← middleware3 ← handler ``` ### Short-Circuiting [](#short-circuiting) Middleware can return early without calling the next handler: ``` $pipeline->pipe(function ($request, $handler) { if (!$this->isAuthenticated($request)) { // Return immediately, skip remaining middleware return new Response(401); } return $handler->handle($request); }); ``` ### Fallback Handler [](#fallback-handler) Set a handler to use when no middleware generates a response: ``` use Lighthouse\Middleware\FallbackHandler; // Throw exception (default) $pipeline = new Pipeline(); // Return 404 response $pipeline = new Pipeline(new FallbackHandler( fn() => new Response(404, body: 'Not Found') )); // Or set later $pipeline->fallback($customHandler); ``` ### Add Multiple Middleware [](#add-multiple-middleware) ``` $pipeline->through([ new CorsMiddleware(), new AuthMiddleware(), new RateLimitMiddleware(), ]); ``` Creating Middleware ------------------- [](#creating-middleware) Implement `MiddlewareInterface`: ``` use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface; use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface; use Psr\Http\Server\MiddlewareInterface; use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface; class TimingMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface { public function process( ServerRequestInterface $request, RequestHandlerInterface $handler ): ResponseInterface { $start = microtime(true); $response = $handler->handle($request); $duration = microtime(true) - $start; return $response->withHeader('X-Response-Time', sprintf('%.3fms', $duration * 1000)); } } ``` API Reference ------------- [](#api-reference) ### Pipeline [](#pipeline) MethodDescription`pipe(MiddlewareInterface|callable $middleware)`Add middleware to pipeline`through(array $middleware)`Add multiple middleware`fallback(RequestHandlerInterface $handler)`Set fallback handler`handle(ServerRequestInterface $request)`Process request through pipeline`getMiddleware()`Get middleware stack`clear()`Remove all middleware### CallableMiddleware [](#callablemiddleware) Wraps a callable as `MiddlewareInterface`: ``` $middleware = new CallableMiddleware( fn($request, $handler) => $handler->handle($request) ); ``` ### NextHandler [](#nexthandler) Wraps a callable as `RequestHandlerInterface`: ``` $handler = new NextHandler( fn($request) => new Response(200) ); ``` ### FallbackHandler [](#fallbackhandler) Default handler when middleware stack is exhausted: ``` // Throws RuntimeException $handler = new FallbackHandler(); // Returns custom response $handler = new FallbackHandler(fn() => new Response(404)); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` License ------- [](#license) MIT License. See [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details. 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. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 61% of packages Maintenance62 Regular maintenance activity Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
