README

A simple and lightweight PSR-15 Request Handler for health check endpoints, designed for easy integration into any HTTP service or middleware pipeline.

Features

• Implements PSR-15 RequestHandlerInterface
• Provides a basic health check endpoint, returning HTTP 200 with a customizable response
• Supports custom health check paths
• Customizable response body for healthy status
• Returns HTTP 404 for non-health-check paths

Installation

Requirements:

• PHP >= 8.1
• psr/http-message, psr/http-server-handler, nyholm/psr7

Install via Composer:

composer require tourze/psr15-health-check-request-handler

Quick Start

Basic Usage

use Tourze\PSR15HealthCheckRequestHandler\HealthCheckRequestHandler;

$handler = new HealthCheckRequestHandler();
$response = $handler->handle($request); // $request must implement ServerRequestInterface

Default Behavior

By default, the handler responds with status 200 and body ok for the following paths:

• /health
• /health.php
• /health.html
• /health.asp

All other paths will receive a 404 Not Found response.

Customization

You can customize the health check paths and healthy response text (using reflection):

use ReflectionProperty;
use Tourze\PSR15HealthCheckRequestHandler\HealthCheckRequestHandler;

$handler = new HealthCheckRequestHandler();

// Change health check paths
$pathsProperty = new ReflectionProperty(HealthCheckRequestHandler::class, 'healthCheckPaths');
$pathsProperty->setAccessible(true);
$pathsProperty->setValue($handler, ['/custom-health']);

// Change healthy response text
$okTextProperty = new ReflectionProperty(HealthCheckRequestHandler::class, 'okText');
$okTextProperty->setAccessible(true);
$okTextProperty->setValue($handler, 'service is healthy');
