This library is licensed with the MIT license.

Add the library to your composer.json:

composer require dapr/php-sdk

Some basic documentation is below, more documentation can be found in the docs;

Migrating to 1.2

In preparation for gRPC support in this SDK, there's now a new DaprClient in \Dapr\Client\DaprClient. Please update your code to use the new client.

There shouldn't be many changes to your code to upgrade to 1.2+ from a prior version. Namely, there are some deprecations:

Deprecations

The following have been deprecated and will be removed in 1.4+.

\Dapr\SecretManager has been deprecated

Simply use the new client instead.

\Dapr\Client has been deprecated

Simply use the new client: \Dapr\Client\DaprClient.

\Dapr\PubSub\Publish has been deprecated

Simply instantiate \Dapr\PubSub\Topic directly or use the new client directly.

Fallbacks and Upgrades

\Dapr\State\StateManager

This class has been upgraded to use the new client. It shouldn't require any changes to your code, however, the old behavior can be utilized with \Dapr\State\StateManagerOld.

\Dapr\State\TransactionalState

This class has been upgrade to use the new client. It shouldn't require any changes to your code, however, the old behavior can be utilized with \Dapr\State\TransactionalStateOld.

Creating a Dapr Client

$client = \Dapr\Client\DaprClient::clientBuilder()->build();

Using the Middleware

The App object also implements a PSR-15 compatible middleware which implements the actor routes and subscribe routes for you.

$app = \Dapr\App::create(configure: [
    // custom configuration
]);
use_middleware($app);

Accessing Secrets

You can access secrets easily:

<?php

// retrieve a single secret
$client->getSecret(storeName: 'kubernetes', key: 'test');

// retrieve all secrets
$client->getBulkSecret(storeName: 'kubernetes');

Accessing State

There are several ways to access state. You can access state directly via the client or abstract access via an object.

Accessing State Directly

['value' => $value, 'etag' => $etag] = $client->getStateAndEtag(storeName: 'statestore', key: 'key', asType: SomeClass::class, consistency: \Dapr\consistency\EventualLastWrite::instance());
$value = $client->getState(storeName: 'statestore', key: 'key', asType: 'string',consistency: \Dapr\consistency\StrongFirstWrite::instance())

Abstract via Object

<?php
#[\Dapr\State\Attributes\StateStore('statestore', \Dapr\consistency\EventualLastWrite::class)]
class MyState {
    /**
     * @var string 
     */
    public string $string_value;
    
    /**
     * @var ComplexType[] 
     */
    #[\Dapr\Deserialization\Attributes\ArrayOf(ComplexType::class)] 
    public array $complex_type;
    
    /**
      * @var SomeObject 
      */
    public SomeObject $object_type;
    
    /**
     * @var int 
     */
    public int $counter = 0;

    /**
     * Increment the counter
     * @param int $amount Amount to increment by
     */
    public function increment(int $amount = 1): void {
        $this->counter += $amount;
    }
}

$app = \Dapr\App::create();
$app->post('/my-state/{key}', function (
    string $key, 
    #[\Dapr\Attributes\FromBody] string $body, 
    \Dapr\State\StateManager $stateManager) {
        $stateManager->save_state(store_name: 'store', item: new \Dapr\State\StateItem(key: $key, value: $body));
        $stateManager->save_object(new MyState);
});
$app->get('/my-state/{key}', function(string $key, \Dapr\State\StateManager $stateManager) {
    return $stateManager->load_state(store_name: 'store', key: $key);
});
$app->start();

Transactional State

You can also use transactional state to interact with state objects by extending TransactionalState with our state objects or commit transactions directly.

Directly with the client

$transaction = [
    \Dapr\Client\StateTransactionRequest::upsert(key: 'key', value: $client->serializer->as_json($new_value)),
    \Dapr\Client\StateTransactionRequest::delete(key: 'key');
];
$client->executeStateTransaction(storeName: 'statestore', operations: $transaction);

Abstracted via an Object

#[\Dapr\State\Attributes\StateStore('statestore', \Dapr\consistency\StrongFirstWrite::class)]
class SomeState extends \Dapr\State\TransactionalState {
    public string $value;
    public function ok(): void {
        $this->value = 'ok';
    }
}

$app = Dapr\App::create();
$app->get('/do-work', function(SomeState $state) {
    $state->begin();
    $state->value = 'not-ok';
    $state->ok();
    $state->commit();
    return $state;
});
$app->start();

Actors

Actors are fully implemented and quite powerful. In order to define an actor, you must first define the interface. You'll likely want to put this in a separate library for easy calling from other services.

<?php
/**
 * Actor that keeps a count
 */
 #[\Dapr\Actors\Attributes\DaprType('ExampleActor')]
interface ICounter {
    /**
     * Increment a counter
     */
    public function increment(int $amount): void;
}

Once the interface is defined, you'll need to implement the behavior and register the actor.

<?php

class CountState extends \Dapr\Actors\ActorState {
    public int $count = 0;
}

#[\Dapr\Actors\Attributes\DaprType('Counter')]
class Counter extends \Dapr\Actors\Actor implements ICounter {
    /**
     * Initialize the class
     */
    public function __construct(string $id, private CountState $state) {
        parent::__construct($id);
    }

    /**
     * Increment the count by 1
     */
    public function increment(int $amount): void {
        $this->state->count += $amount;
    }
}

// register the actor with the runtime
$app = \Dapr\App::create(configure: fn(\DI\ContainerBuilder $builder) => $builder->addDefinitions([
    'dapr.actors' => [Counter::class]
]));
$app->start();

The state to inject is read from the constructor arguments, the state must derive from ActorState to be injected. You may use as many state classes as you'd like. State is automatically saved for you if you make any changes to it during the method call using transactional state.

The Actor base class gives you access to some helper functions and saves you from writing some boiler-plate. You may also implement IActor and use the ActorTrait as well.

Calling an Actor

In order to call an actor, simply call the ActorProxy and get a proxy object:

<?php
use Dapr\Actors\ActorProxy;

 $app = \Dapr\App::create();
 $app->get('/increment/{actorId}[/{amount:\d+}]', function(string $actorId, ActorProxy $actorProxy, int $amount = 1) {
    $counter = $actorProxy->get(ICounter::class, $actorId);
    $counter->increment($amount);
    $counter->create_reminder('increment', new \Dapr\Actors\Reminder('increment', new DateInterval('PT10M'), data: 10 ));
 });
$app->start();

You can also call an actor without an interface:

$client->invokeActorMethod(
    httpMethod: 'GET', 
    actor: new \Dapr\Actors\ActorReference(id: 'id', actor_type: 'Counter'), 
    method: 'increment', 
    parameter: 1
 );

Actor Limitations

There's no re-entrance to an actor, by default. You'll need to enable it in the ActorConfig and in Dapr.
By design, static functions don't work.
There's overhead cost in calling "getter" functions.

More detail here: https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/actors/actors-overview/

Pub/Sub

Delivering events around your application is an important aspect of any application. This is supported by Dapr, and implemented in this SDK.

Publishing

In order to publish an event, you just instantiate the Topic object:

<?php
$app = \Dapr\App::create();
$app->get('/publish', function(\Dapr\Client\DaprClient $client) {
    $topic = new \Dapr\PubSub\Topic(pubsub: 'pubsub', topic: 'topic', client: $client);
    $topic->publish(['message' => 'arrive at dawn']);
});
$app->start();

or you can use the new client like:

$client->publishEvent(pubsubName: 'pubsub', topicName: 'topic', data: ['message' => 'arrive at dawn'], contentType: 'application/json');

Subscribing

$app = \Dapr\App::create(configure: fn(\DI\ContainerBuilder $builder) => $builder->addDefinitions([
    'dapr.subscriptions' => [new \Dapr\PubSub\Subscription('redis-pubsub', 'my-topic', '/receive-message')]
]));
$app->post('/receive-message', function(#[\Dapr\Attributes\FromBody] \Dapr\PubSub\CloudEvent $event) {
 // do something
});
$app->start();

Serializing

If you need to register a custom serializer, you can completely override the built-in serializers on a per-type basis or even the default serializers:

// register a custom type serializer
$app = \Dapr\App::create(configure: fn(\DI\ContainerBuilder $builder) => $builder->addDefinitions([
    'dapr.serializers.custom' => [MyType::class => [MyType::class, 'serialize']],
    'dapr.deserializers.custom' => [MyType::class => [MyType::class, 'deserialize']],
]));

// get the serializer to do manual serializations
$app->get('/', function(\Dapr\Serialization\ISerializer $serializer) {
    return $serializer->as_array('anything here');
});
$app->start();

Using the new client

$client = \Dapr\Client\DaprClient::clientBuilder()
    ->withDeserializationConfig($configuration)
    ->withSerializationConfig($configuration)
    ->build()

Development

Tests

Simply run composer test to run the unit tests. You can lint using composer lint.

Integration tests

You need docker-compose and jq

Build and start the environment, then run the integration tests and clean up.

make

You should see output like:
