README
======

[](#readme)

Reactive Slim is a bridge where you can pass your [Slim](https://www.slimframework.com/) instance and reap the benefit's of [ReactPHP](http://reactphp.org/)'s event driven, non-blocking I/O usage of PHP.

The implementation run's on PHP7.0 and makes good use of PHP's [Scalar Type hints](http://php.net/manual/en/functions.arguments.php#functions.arguments.type-declaration).

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

[](#installation)

`composer require nigelgreenway/reactive-slim`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After creating your [Slim Instance](https://www.slimframework.com/), pass it to the following construction:

```
(new \ReactiveSlim\Server($slimInstance))
    ->run();
```

*Please see the [examples](/example) for more information or run `php ./example/app-dev-mode.php`.*

If are you are running via PHP locally, you are able to pass the following flags to customise both the host and the port:

`-h 0.0.0.0` or `--host=0.0.0.0` and `-p 8686` or `--port=8686`

### Restarting your ReactApp

[](#restarting-your-reactapp)

There are 3 ways to restart your application (only tested on Linux - Solus, kernel 4.9.30-29.lts currently):

- `sh ./.tools/local-watch` runs via local PHP installation (requires `inotify-tools` to be installed via package manager)
- `sh ./.tools/reactor` run via local PHP installation and requires the `reactor.config.json` config
- `sh ./.tools/docker-watch` run the app within a Docker container (requires `inotify-tools` to be installed via package manager)

### Extra options

[](#extra-options)

`#withHost()` - The default host URL is `0.0.0.0` but is overridden by passing a string as the parameter

`#withPort()` - The default port is `1337` but is overridden by passing an integer as the parameter

`#withEnvironment()` - The default is `0` which is the `Production` environment, the full options are:

- `ServerEnvironment::PRODUCTION` (0)
- `ServerEnvironment::STAGING` (1)
- `ServerEnvironment::TESTING` (2)
- `ServerEnvironment::DEVELOPMENT` (3)
