This package provides an Ellipse\Dispatcher class allowing to process a Psr-7 request through a Psr-15 middleware queue (First in first out order) before handling it with a Psr-15 request handler in order to create a Psr-7 response.
It is basically a request handler decorator wrapping a middleware queue around a request handler. Its constructor takes two parameters:
- a request handler object implementing
Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface - an array containing middleware objects implementing
Psr\Http\Server\MiddlewareInterface
The Dispatcher itself implements RequestHandlerInterface so a response is produced by using its ->handle() method with a request. It also means it can be used as the request handler of another Dispatcher. Also, The same Dispatcher can be used multiple times to handle as many requests as needed.
Finally when a value of the given middleware queue is not an implementation of MiddlewareInterface an Ellipse\Dispatcher\Exceptions\MiddlewareTypeException is thrown. Factory decorators can be used to resolve some type of values as middleware.
<?php
namespace App;
use Ellipse\Dispatcher;
// Create a dispatcher using two middleware and a request handler.
$dispatcher = new Dispatcher(new SomeRequestHandler, [
new SomeMiddleware1,
new SomeMiddleware2,
]);
// Here the request goes through SomeMiddleware1, SomeMiddleware2 and SomeRequestHandler.
$response = $dispatcher->handle($request);
// It can be used as the request handler of another dispatcher.
// Here the request goes through SomeMiddleware3, SomeMiddleware1, SomeMiddleware2 and SomeRequestHandler
(new Dispatcher($dispatcher, [new SomeMiddleware3]))->handle($request);
// Here a MiddlewareTypeException is thrown because 'something' is not a Psr-15 middleware.
new Dispatcher(new SomeRequestHandler, [new SomeMiddleware, 'something']);The Dispatcher class also has a ->with() method taking a MiddlewareInterface as parameter. It returns a new dispatcher with the given middleware wrapped around the current dispatcher. The new middleware will be the first processed by the new dispatcher:
<?php
namespace App;
use Ellipse\Dispatcher;
// Create a dispatcher with two middleware.
$dispatcher = new Dispatcher(new SomeRequestHandler, [
new SomeMiddleware1,
new SomeMiddleware2,
]);
// Create a new dispatcher with a new middleware on the top of the middleware queue.
$dispatcher = $dispatcher->with(new SomeMiddleware3);
// Here the request goes through SomeMiddleware3, SomeMiddleware1, SomeMiddleware2 and SomeRequestHandler.
$response = $dispatcher->handle($request);
// It allows to create dispatchers from the outside-in if you like.
$dispatcher = new Dispatcher(new SomeRequestHandler);
$dispatcher = $dispatcher->with(new SomeMiddleware3);
$dispatcher = $dispatcher->with(new SomeMiddleware2);
$dispatcher = $dispatcher->with(new SomeMiddleware1);
// Here the request goes through SomeMiddleware1, SomeMiddleware2, SomeMiddleware3 and SomeRequestHandler.
$response = $dispatcher->handle($request);A common practice is to allow callables and class names registered in a container to be used as regular middleware/request handler.
For this purpose this package also provides an Ellipse\DispatcherFactory class implementing Ellipse\DispatcherFactoryInterface, allowing to produce Dispatcher instances. Its __invoke() method takes any value as request handler and an optional middleware queue. An Ellipse\Dispatcher\Exceptions\RequestHandlerTypeException is thrown when the given request handler is not an implementation of RequestHandlerInterface.
<?php
namespace App;
use Ellipse\DispatcherFactory;
// Get a dispatcher factory.
$factory = new DispatcherFactory;
// Use the factory to create a new Dispatcher.
$dispatcher = $factory(new SomeRequestHandler, [new SomeMiddleware]);
// Here a RequestHandlerTypeException is thrown because 'something' is not a Psr-15 request handler.
$dispatcher = $factory('something', [new SomeMiddleware]);
// Here a MiddlewareTypeException is thrown by the Dispatcher class because 'something' is not a Psr-15 middleware.
$dispatcher = $factory(new SomeRequestHandler, [new SomeMiddleware, 'something']);This class is not very useful by itself. The point of DispatcherFactory is to be decorated by other factories resolving the given values as Psr-15 implementations before delegating it the dispatcher creation. It is a starting point for such factory decorators (also called resolvers) which ensure the dispatcher creation fails nicely when any value is not resolved as a Psr-15 implementation by any decorator.
Here is an example of callable resolving using the Ellipse\Dispatcher\CallableResolver class from the ellipse/dispatcher-callable package:
<?php
namespace App;
use Ellipse\DispatcherFactory;
use Ellipse\Dispatcher\CallableResolver;
// Get a decorated dispatcher factory.
$factory = new CallableResolver(new DispatcherFactory);
// A dispatcher using both callables and Psr-15 implementations can now be created.
$middleware = function ($request, $handler) {
// This callable behave like a Psr-15 middleware.
};
$handler = function ($request) {
// This callable behave like a Psr-15 request handler.
};
// This works.
$response = $factory($handler, [$middleware, new SomeMiddleware])->handle($request);Here is some ellipse packages providing resolvers for common resolving scenario:
- ellipse/dispatcher-callable allowing to use callables as Psr-15 middleware/request handlers
- ellipse/dispatcher-container allowing to use Psr-15 middleware/request handler class names using a Psr-11 container
- ellipse/dispatcher-controller allowing to use controller actions as Psr-15 request handlers using a Psr-11 container
Here is an example of a class implementing DispatcherFactoryInterface in case you need to create a custom one:
<?php
namespace App;
use Ellipse\Dispatcher;
use Ellipse\DispatcherFactoryInterface;
class MyResolver implements DispatcherFactoryInterface
{
private $delegate;
public function __construct(DispatcherFactoryInterface $delegate)
{
$this->delegate = $delegate;
}
public function __invoke($handler, array $middleware = []): Dispatcher
{
// Replace the handler with a ResolvedRequestHandler when the request handler should be resolved.
$handler = $this->shouldResolveHandler($handler)
: new ResolvedRequestHandler($handler)
? $handler;
// Replace middleware with a ResolvedMiddleware when a middleware should be resolved.
$middleware = array_map(function ($middleware) {
return $this->shouldResolveMiddleware($middleware)
? new ResolvedMiddleware($middleware)
: $middleware;
}, $middleware);
// Delegate the dispatcher creation to the decorated factory.
return ($this->delegate)($handler, $middleware);
}
private shouldResolveHandler($handler): bool
{
// ...
}
private shouldResolveMiddleware($middleware): bool
{
// ...
}
}
