The package allows responding with data that is automatically converted into [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/)response.

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

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1 - 8.5.
- `DOM` PHP extension.

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

[](#installation)

The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require yiisoft/data-response
```

General usage
-------------

[](#general-usage)

### Response Factories

[](#response-factories)

The package provides response factories that create [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) responses with `DataStream` body. The data is formatted lazily when the response body is read.

```
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\ResponseFactory\JsonResponseFactory;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\JsonFormatter;

/**
 * @var Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory
 */

$factory = new JsonResponseFactory($responseFactory, new JsonFormatter());
$response = $factory->createResponse(['key' => 'value']);

$response->getBody()->rewind();
echo $response->getBody()->getContents(); // {"key":"value"}
echo $response->getHeaderLine('Content-Type'); // application/json; charset=UTF-8
```

The following response factories are available:

- `JsonResponseFactory` — creates responses with JSON-formatted body;
- `XmlResponseFactory` — creates responses with XML-formatted body;
- `HtmlResponseFactory` — creates responses with HTML-formatted body;
- `PlainTextResponseFactory` — creates responses with plain text body;
- `DataResponseFactory` — creates responses without a predefined formatter, use middleware to format.

### Middleware

[](#middleware)

The package provides [PSR-15](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-15/) middleware that formats `DataStream` responses without a predefined formatter.

```
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Middleware\JsonDataResponseMiddleware;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\JsonFormatter;

$middleware = new JsonDataResponseMiddleware(new JsonFormatter());
```

The following middleware are available:

- `HtmlDataResponseMiddleware`
- `JsonDataResponseMiddleware`
- `XmlDataResponseMiddleware`
- `PlainTextDataResponseMiddleware`

### Content Negotiation

[](#content-negotiation)

The package provides content negotiation via middleware and response factory.

#### Middleware

[](#middleware-1)

`ContentNegotiatorDataResponseMiddleware` selects a formatter based on the request's `Accept` header:

```
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\HtmlFormatter;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\XmlFormatter;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Middleware\ContentNegotiatorDataResponseMiddleware;

$middleware = new ContentNegotiatorDataResponseMiddleware(
    formatters: [
        'text/html' => new HtmlFormatter(),
        'application/xml' => new XmlFormatter(),
        'application/json' => new JsonFormatter(),
    ],
    fallback: new JsonFormatter(),
);
```

The `fallback` parameter also accepts a `RequestHandlerInterface`, for example `NotAcceptableRequestHandler`to return a 406 response when no formatter matches.

#### Response Factory

[](#response-factory)

`ContentNegotiatorResponseFactory` selects a response factory based on the request's `Accept` header:

```
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\ResponseFactory\ContentNegotiatorResponseFactory;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\ResponseFactory\JsonResponseFactory;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\ResponseFactory\XmlResponseFactory;

/**
 * @var JsonResponseFactory $jsonResponseFactory
 * @var XmlResponseFactory $xmlResponseFactory
 */

$factory = new ContentNegotiatorResponseFactory(
    factories: [
        'application/json' => $jsonResponseFactory,
        'application/xml' => $xmlResponseFactory,
    ],
    fallback: $jsonResponseFactory,
);

$response = $factory->createResponse($request, ['key' => 'value']);
```

The `fallback` parameter also accepts a `RequestHandlerInterface`, for example `NotAcceptableRequestHandler`to return a 406 response when no factory matches.

### DataStream

[](#datastream)

`DataStream` is a [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) stream that lazily formats data. It wraps raw data and a formatter, and performs formatting only when the stream is read. A formatter is optional at construction time, but must be set before reading the stream, otherwise a `LogicException` will be thrown.

```
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\DataStream\DataStream;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
use Yiisoft\DataResponse\Formatter\XmlFormatter;

$stream = new DataStream(['key' => 'value'], new JsonFormatter());

echo (string) $stream; // {"key":"value"}

// You can change the data or formatter dynamically
$stream->changeData(['new' => 'data']);
$stream->changeFormatter(new XmlFormatter());
```
