Symfony Runtime enables decoupling apps from global state.

Getting Started

$ composer require nyholm/symfony-runtime

RuntimeInterface

The core of this component is the RuntimeInterface which describes a high-order runtime logic.

It is designed to be totally generic and able to run any application outside of the global state in 6 steps:

  1. your front-controller returns a closure that wraps your app;
  2. the arguments of this closure are resolved by RuntimeInterface::resolve() which returns a ResolvedAppInterface. This is an invokable with zero arguments that returns whatever object of yours represents your app (e.g a Symfony kernel or response, a console application or command);
  3. this invokable is called and returns this object that represents your app;
  4. your app object is passed to RuntimeInterface::start(), which returns a StartedAppInterface: an invokable that knows how to "run" your app;
  5. that invokable is called and returns the exit status code as int;
  6. the PHP engine is exited with this status code.

This process is extremely flexible as it allows implementations of RuntimeInterface to hook into any critical steps.

Autoloading

This package registers itself as a Composer plugin to generate a vendor/autoload_runtime.php file. You need to require it instead of the usual vendor/autoload.php in front-controllers that leverage this component and return a closure.

Before requiring the vendor/autoload_runtime.php file, you can set the $_SERVER['APP_RUNTIME'] variable to a class that implements RuntimeInterface and that should be used to run the app.

A SymfonyRuntime is used by default. It knows the conventions to run Symfony and native PHP apps.

Examples

This public/index.php is a "Hello World" that handles a "name" query parameter:

<?php

require_once dirname(__DIR__).'/vendor/autoload_runtime.php';

return function (array $request, array $context): string {
    // $request holds keys "query", "data", "files" and "session",
    // which map to $_GET, $_POST, $_FILES and &$_SESSION respectively

    // $context maps to $_SERVER

    $name = $request['query']['name'] ?? 'World';
    $time = $context['REQUEST_TIME'];

    return sprintf('Hello %s, the current Unix timestamp is %s.', $name, $time);
};

This bin/console.php is a single-command "Hello World" app (run composer require symfony/console before launching it):

<?php

use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface;

require_once dirname(__DIR__).'/vendor/autoload_runtime.php';

return function (Command $command) {
    $command->addArgument('name', null, 'Who should I greet?', 'World');

    return function (InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output) {
        $name = $input->getArgument('name');
        $output->writeln(sprintf('Hello <comment>%s</>', $name));
    };
};

The SymfonyRuntime can resolve and handle many types related to the symfony/http-foundation and symfony/console components. Check its source code for more information.
