Laravel Skir Runtime
====================

[](#laravel-skir-runtime)

Framework-agnostic PHP runtime support for Skir serialization and descriptors.

This package is intentionally small. Laravel-specific routing and client behavior live in separate packages.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require php-skir/runtime
```

What it provides
----------------

[](#what-it-provides)

- `DenseJson` for encoding and decoding Skir dense JSON values.
- `Cbor` helpers for optional CBOR bodies and SkirRPC envelopes.
- `Type`, `Field`, and `Variant` descriptors for generated DTO metadata.
- `EnumValue` for Skir enum constants and wrapper variants.
- `MethodDescriptor` for generated SkirRPC method metadata.
- Package-local `SkirRuntimeException` exceptions for invalid Skir values.

Dense JSON
----------

[](#dense-json)

```
use Skir\Runtime\DenseJson;
use Skir\Runtime\Field;
use Skir\Runtime\Type;

$user = Type::struct([
    Field::value('id', 0, Type::int32()),
    Field::value('name', 1, Type::string()),
]);

$json = DenseJson::toJson($user, [
    'id' => 1,
    'name' => 'Jane',
]);

$data = DenseJson::fromJson($user, $json);
```

Struct values are encoded as field-number indexed arrays. Removed fields and sparse field numbers are preserved so generated DTOs can stay compatible with existing Skir schemas.

CBOR
----

[](#cbor)

CBOR support is optional and requires `spomky-labs/cbor-php` in the consuming app:

```
composer require spomky-labs/cbor-php
```

The runtime helper keeps CBOR wrapping shared between server and client packages:

```
use Skir\Runtime\Cbor;

$body = Cbor::encodeEnvelope($methodDescriptor, $request);
$payload = Cbor::decodeEnvelope($body);
```

Current scope
-------------

[](#current-scope)

This runtime does not register routes, discover procedures, or make HTTP calls. Those concerns belong in the `php-skir/server` and `php-skir/client` packages.
