PhpBg\\MiniHttpd
================

[](#phpbgminihttpd)

This is a small http server framework built on top of [React HTTP](https://github.com/reactphp/http).

This framework is designed to build quick proofs of concepts.

It is **not** mature enough to run in production environments, because:

- it still contains synchronous blocking code
- it lacks a dependency (ioc) /configuration management

Features
--------

[](#features)

Most of features are directly inherited from [PHP React HTTP](https://github.com/reactphp/http)

- [Middleware](https://github.com/reactphp/http#middleware) based
    - see  for interesting middlewares you can add to this library
- Highly customizable
- [PSR-7 messages](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/)
- Basic routing
- Basic [PSR-3 logging](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-3/)
- Static files serving
- Let you focus on **your service logic**, not **building a HTTP response** (boooring)
    - Just return `arrays` or `objects` in your route handlers, that's it:

    ```
    function (ServerRequestInterface $request) {
        return ['hello' => 'world'];
    }
    ```

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install with [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require phpbg/mini-httpd

```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

See `example` folder

- `bare-minimal-json-server.php` shows the very minimal setup for json rendering
- `full-featured-server.php` shows a full setup with:
    - Static files serving
    - Route redirection examples
    - Automatic PHTML renderer features and suggested layout
    - Accessing request params with proper validation / filtering

There is also a complete example that integrates with ratchet Websockets here:
