This allows you to respond and handle JSON-RPC requests using modern php.

Both batch requests and single requests are supported.

Installation

Requires php 8 and Symfony 5.x.

composer require rikudou/json-rpc-bundle

Usage

Create a controller that will be handling the traffic, the controller is very simple and basically looks like this:

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Response\JsonRpcResponse;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Request\JsonRpcRequest;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Service\JsonRpcResponder;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

final class MyController
{
    #[Route('/jsonrpc')]
    public function myHandler(JsonRpcRequest $request, JsonRpcResponder $responder): JsonRpcResponse
    {
        return $responder->respond($request);
    }
}

The JsonRpcRequest object is automatically injected based on current request and the JsonRpcResponder takes care of locating the correct method and providing response.

Creating methods

Creating methods is very simple and you have 3 options:

1. use the Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Attribute\JsonRpcMethod attribute in a callable object (implementing __invoke())
2. implement the \Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\JsonRpc\JsonRpcMethod interface
3. registering callables manually

Note that while the attribute and interface have the same name, the namespace is different.

Example with attribute

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Attribute\JsonRpcMethod;

#[JsonRpcMethod('myMethodName')]
final class MyMethod
{
    public function __invoke(): string
    {
        return 'some-response';
    }
}

Or if you want to accept parameters:

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Attribute\JsonRpcMethod;

#[JsonRpcMethod('myMethodName')]
final class MyMethod
{
    public function __invoke(string $parameter1, string $parameter2): string
    {
        return $parameter1 . $parameter2;
    }
}

If any other parameters are provided, an exception might be thrown, to avoid that you can add a variadic parameter that catches all other parameters (the name of the parameter doesn't matter):

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Attribute\JsonRpcMethod;

#[JsonRpcMethod('myMethodName')]
final class MyMethod
{
    public function __invoke(string $parameter1, string $parameter2, ...$allOtherParameters): string
    {
        return $parameter1 . $parameter2 . json_encode($allOtherParameters);
    }
}

Example with interface

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\JsonRpc\JsonRpcMethod;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Request\JsonRpcRequestParams;

final class MyMethod implements JsonRpcMethod
{
    public function getMethodName() : string
    {
        return 'myMethod';
    }
    
    public function execute(JsonRpcRequestParams $params) : int|string|null|float|JsonSerializable|array|stdClass
    {
        return 'some-response';
    }
}

You can also check for parameters:

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\JsonRpc\JsonRpcMethod;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Request\JsonRpcRequestParams;

final class MyMethod implements JsonRpcMethod
{
    public function getMethodName() : string
    {
        return 'myMethod';
    }
    
    public function execute(JsonRpcRequestParams $params) : int|string|null|float|JsonSerializable|array|stdClass
    {
        if (!$params->hasParams()) {
            throw new RuntimeException('There are no parameters!');
        }
        
        if (!isset($params['myParam'])) {
            throw new RuntimeException('The parameter "myParam" is missing!');
        }
        
        $allParameters = $params->getParams();
        
        return $params['myParam'] . json_encode($allParameters);
    }
}

Registering other callables

You can register other callables manually in a configuration file (for example config/packages/json_rpc.yaml).

Here's an example configuration:

rikudou_json_rpc:
  callables:
    - name: myMethod
      callable: someGlobalFunction
    - name: myOtherMethod
      callable: App\MyClass::myStaticMethod
    - name: myThirdMethod
      callable: [App\MyClass, myStaticMethod]
    - name: myFourthMethod
      callable: ['@App\MyService', myInstanceMethod]

These formats of callables are supported:

• functions
  • globalFunction
• static methods
  • App\MyClass::someMethod
  • ['App\MyClass', 'someMethod']
• service method
  • ['@App\MyService', 'someMethod']

Note that the service name starts with @.

Working with request object

If you want to do some checks on the request object you can do so before passing it to the JsonRpcResponder service.

The JsonRpcRequest is a marker interface that doesn't contain any methods meaning you need to check yourself if it's an instance of JsonRpcSingleRequest or JsonRpcBatchRequest.

The JsonRpcSingleRequest object contains these methods:

• getMethod(): string
• getParams(): ?array
• getId(): int|string|null

The JsonRpcBatchRequest contains these methods:

• getRequests(): iterable<JsonRpcSingleRequest> - returns list of individual requests

In your controller you can also typehint the concrete class (JsonRpcSingleRequest or JsonRpcBatchRequest) but in that case you will get a TypeError when the other type of request arrives.

If you want to get the current request outside of a controller class, you will need to use the service JsonRpcRequestParser:

<?php

use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Service\JsonRpcRequestParser;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Request\JsonRpcRequest;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;

final class MyService
{
    public function __construct(private JsonRpcRequestParser $parser, private RequestStack $requestStack) 
    {
    }
    
    public function getRequest(): JsonRpcRequest
    {
        // if you don't provide a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request parameter, the current request is used
        $request = $this->parser->parse();
        // or you can specify the request yourself
        $request = $this->parser->parse($this->requestStack->getCurrentRequest());
        
        return $this->parser->parse();
    }
}

Working with response object

If you want to alter the response in your controller, you can call JsonRpcResponse's getJson() method which returns an array with the raw data that would be encoded to JSON.

You can check whether the response is a single one or batch one by checking for instance of JsonRpcSingleResponse and JsonRpcBatchResponse.

<?php

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Request\JsonRpcRequest;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Service\JsonRpcResponder;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Response\JsonRpcSingleResponse;
use Rikudou\JsonRpcBundle\Response\JsonRpcBatchResponse;

final class JsonRpcController
{
    #[Route('/jsonrpc')]
    public function jsonRpc(JsonRpcRequest $request, JsonRpcResponder $responder): JsonResponse
    {
        $response = $responder->respond($request);
        
        $rawData = $response->getJson();
        
        if ($response instanceof JsonRpcSingleResponse) {
            // do something with $rawData
        } elseif ($response instanceof JsonRpcBatchResponse) {
            // do something with $rawData
        }
        
        return new JsonResponse($rawData, $response->getStatusCode());
    }
}
