PHP package to create OPDS feed (Open Publication Distribution System) for eBooks.

Demo: https://bookshelves.ink/opds from bookshelves-project/bookshelves

All old versions: 0.9, 1.0 and 1.1 have a fallback to OPDS 1.2.

Requirements

php v8.1 minimum

About

OPDS is like RSS feeds but adapted for eBooks, it's a standard to share eBooks between libraries, bookstores, publishers, and readers. Developed by Hadrien Gardeur and Leonard Richardson.

This package has been created to be used with bookshelves-project/bookshelves, an open source eBook web app.

Note

The Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) catalog format is a syndication format for electronic publications based on Atom and HTTP. OPDS catalogs enable the aggregation, distribution, discovery, and acquisition of electronic publications. OPDS catalogs use existing or emergent open standards and conventions, with a priority on simplicity.

The Open Publication Distribution System specification is prepared by an informal grouping of partners, combining Internet Archive, O'Reilly Media, Feedbooks, OLPC, and others.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kiwilan/php-opds

Usage

You have to use Opds::make() method to create an OPDS instance, the only param is config to set OPDS config, totally optional. Default response is XML with OPDS version 1.2, you can force JSON response with OpdsConfig::class method forceJson() to use only OPDS 2.0. With get() method, you can get full instance of Opds with OpdsEngine and OpdsResponse.

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;
use Kiwilan\Opds\OpdsConfig;

$opds = Opds::make(new OpdsConfig()) // OpdsConfig::class, optional
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...]) // OpdsEntryNavigation[]|OpdsEntryBook[]|OpdsEntryNavigation|OpdsEntryBook
  ->get()
;

You have different informations into Opds::class.

Some informations about OPDS instance:

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get()
;

$opds->getConfig(); // OpdsConfig - Configuration used to create OPDS feed set into `make()` method
$opds->getUrl(); // string|null - Current URL, generated automatically but can be overrided with `url()` method
$opds->getTitle(); // string - Title of OPDS feed set with `title()` method
$opds->getVersion(); // OpdsVersionEnum - OPDS version used, determined by query parameter `v` or `OpdsConfig::class` method `forceJson()`
$opds->getQueryVersion(); // OpdsVersionEnum|null - Name of query parameter used to set OPDS version, default is `v`
$opds->getUrlParts(); // array - URL parts, determined from `url`
$opds->getQuery(); // array - Query parameters, determined from `url`
$opds->getFeeds(); // array - Feeds set with `feeds()` method
$opds->checkIfSearch(); // bool, default is false, set to true if `isSearch()` method is used

And about engine and response:

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get()
;

$opds->getEngine(); // OpdsEngine|null - Engine used to create OPDS feed, determined by OPDS version, can be `OpdsXmlEngine::class` or `OpdsJsonEngine::class`
$opds->getOutput(); // OpdsOutputEnum|null - Output of response, useful for debug
$opds->getPaginator(); // OpdsPaginator|OpdsPaginate|null - Paginator used to paginate feeds, if you use `paginate()` method
$opds->getResponse(); // OpdsResponse|null - Response of OPDS feed, will use `OpdsEngine` to create a response

OPDS Version

You can use query parameter version to set it dynamically. You could change this query into OpdsConfig::class.

Version 1.2 can be set with ?v=1.2
Version 2.0 can be set with ?v=2.0

Warning

If you set v query parameter to 1.2 with OpdsConfig::class method forceJson(), query param will be ignored.

OPDS Engine

Engine will convert your feeds to OPDS, depending of OPDS version.

OPDS 1.2 will use OpdsXmlEngine::class
OPDS 2.0 will use OpdsJsonEngine::class

You can get engine used with getEngine() method from Opds::class. Property contents contains array of feeds, OpdsEngine allow conversion into XML or JSON with __toString() method, the output depends of OPDS version.

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get()
;

$engine = $opds->getEngine(); // OpdsEngine
$contents = $engine->getContents(); // array
$output = $engine->__toString(); // string

OPDS Response

To build OPDS feed, you have to get() method. It will return an instance of Opds with OpdsEngine, OpdsResponse and paginator filled.

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get() // `Opds` to fill `OpdsEngine`, `OpdsResponse` and paginator
;

To get response, you can use getResponse() method from Opds::class.

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get()
;

$response = $opds->getResponse(); // OpdsResponse

$response->getStatus(); // int - Status code of response
$response->isJson(); // bool - If response is JSON
$response->isXml(); // bool - If response is XML
$response->getHeaders(); // array - Headers of response
$response->getContents(); // string - Contents of response

Send response

Note

This method is totally optional, you can send response to browser by yourself.

You can send response to browser by yourself from OpdsResponse to get status code, headers and contents or use send() method available into Opds and OpdsResponse.

You can use send() from Opds or OpdsResponse to send response to browser (exactly the same)
You don't have to call get() method before send() method, send() will call get() automatically

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->send(); // XML or JSON response
;

You can call get() method before send() method if you want to get OpdsResponse instance.

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get()
;

// do something with `OpdsResponse` instance

$opds->send(); // XML or JSON response

To get response

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->get();

$response = $opds->getResponse(); // OpdsResponse
$response->send(); // XML or JSON response

Note

You can use exit parameter from send() method to stop script after sending response.

OPDS Config

OPDS config can be set with OpdsConfig::class:

<?php

use Kiwilan\Opds\OpdsConfig;

$config = new OpdsConfig(
  name: 'My OPDS Catalog', // Name of OPDS feed
  author: 'John Doe', // Author name
  authorUrl: 'https://example.com', // Author URL
  iconUrl: 'https://example.com/icon.png', // Icon URL
  startUrl: 'https://example.com/opds', // Start URL, will be included in top navigation
  searchUrl: 'https://example.com/opds/search', // Search URL, will be included in top navigation
  versionQuery: 'v', // query parameter for version
  paginationQuery: 'page', // query parameter for pagination
  updated: new DateTime(), // Last update of OPDS feed
  maxItemsPerPage: 16, // Max items per page, default is 16
  forceJson: false, // To force JSON response as OPDS 2.0, default is false
);

Note

You can override OpdsConfig with setter methods.

OPDS Pagination

You can use pagination from Opds with paginate() method, it will generate pagination based on maxItemsPerPage property from OpdsConfig::class.

If you not set any parameter, it will generate pagination
If you set OpdsPaginate object, it will generate pagination based on it

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title('My feed')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->paginate() // will generate pagination
  ->get();

$opds->getPaginator(); // OpdsPaginator

You can use OpdsPaginate::class to handle manual pagination

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make(getConfig())
  ->title('My feed')
  ->url('http://localhost:8080/opds?u=2')
  ->feeds([...])
  ->paginate(new OpdsPaginate(
    currentPage: $page,
    totalItems: $total,
    firstUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/opds?f=1',
    lastUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/opds?l=42',
    previousUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/opds?p=1',
    nextUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/opds?n=3',
  )) // will generate pagination based on `OpdsPaginate` object
  ->get();

$opds->getPaginator(); // OpdsPaginate

OPDS entry

Navigation

You can create a navigation entry with OpdsEntryNavigation::class:

use Kiwilan\Opds\Entries\OpdsEntryNavigation;

$entry = new OpdsEntryNavigation(
  id: 'authors',
  title: 'Authors',
  route: 'http://mylibrary.com/opds/authors',
  summary: 'Authors, 1 available',
  media: 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48261459/201463225-0a5a084e-df15-4b11-b1d2-40fafd3555cf.svg',
  updated: new DateTime(),
  properties: [
    'numberOfItems' => 1,
  ], // to include extra properties (like numberOfItems for facets)
  relation: 'current', // to specify the relation to use (instead of `current`)
);

Tip

You can override OpdsEntryNavigation with setter methods.

And you can add this entry to OPDS feed with feeds() method:

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->feeds([$entry])
  ->get();

Book

You can create a book entry with OpdsEntryBook::class:

Warning

Some properties can be used only into OPDS 2.0, see OPDS 2.0 specification.

use Kiwilan\Opds\Entries\OpdsEntryBook;
use Kiwilan\Opds\Entries\OpdsEntryBookAuthor;

$entry = new OpdsEntryBook(
  id: 'the-clan-of-the-cave-bear-epub-en',
  title: 'The Clan of the Cave Bear',
  route: 'http://mylibrary.com/opds/books/the-clan-of-the-cave-bear-epub-en',
  summary: 'The Clan of the Cave Bear is an epic work of prehistoric fiction by Jean M. Auel.',
  content: 'The Clan of the Cave Bear is an epic work of prehistoric fiction by Jean M. Auel about prehistoric times. It is the first book in the Earth\'s Children book series which speculates on the possibilities of interactions between Neanderthal and modern Cro-Magnon humans.',
  media: 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48261459/201463225-0a5a084e-df15-4b11-b1d2-40fafd3555cf.svg',
  updated: new DateTime(),
  download: 'http://mylibrary.com/api/download/books/the-clan-of-the-cave-bear-epub-en',
  mediaThumbnail: 'https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48261459/201463225-0a5a084e-df15-4b11-b1d2-40fafd3555cf.svg',
  categories: ['category'],
  authors: [
    new OpdsEntryBookAuthor(
      name: 'Jean M. Auel',
      uri: 'http://mylibrary.com/opds/authors/jean-m-auel',
    ),
  ],
  published: new DateTime(),
  volume: 1,
  serie: 'Earth\'s Children',
  language: 'English',
  identifier: 'urn:isbn:9780553381672', // to specify the actual identifier to use (instead of `urn:isbn:...`)
  translator: 'translator',
  publisher: 'publisher',
);

Tip

You can override OpdsEntryBook with setter methods.

And you can add this entry to OPDS feed with feeds() method:

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->feeds([$entry])
  ->get();

Search

This package do NOT implements any search engine, you can use your own search engine and use Opds::class to create OPDS feed.

Query parameters used for search are statically defined into specifications:

q param is used by OPDS 1.2
query param is used by OPDS 2.0

Tip

I advice Meilisearch for search engine, it's a powerful and easy to use search engine.

Here an example:

use Kiwilan\Opds\Opds;
use Kiwilan\Opds\Entries\OpdsEntryBook;

$query = // get query from URL, `q` or `query` param
$feeds = [];

if ($query) {
    $results = []; // use your search engine here

    foreach ($results as $result) {
      $feeds[] = new OpdsEntryBook(
        title: $result->title,
        // ...
      );
    }
}

$opds = Opds::make()
  ->title("Search for {$query}")
  ->isSearch()
  ->feeds($feeds)
  ->get();
