README
An extension to Slim Framework that allows you use to dynamically instantiated controllers with action methods wherever you would use a closure or callback when routing.
The controller can optionally be loaded from Slim's DI container, allowing you to inject dependencies as required.
Additionally, this extension implements Json Middleware & View with great ease.

Usage - Dynamic controller instantiation
Use the string format {controller class name}:{action method name}
wherever you would usually use a closure:
e.g.
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $app = new \SlimPower\Slim\Slim(); $app->get('/hello:name', 'App\IndexController:home');
You can also register the controller with Slim's DI container:
<?php require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $app = new \SlimPower\Slim\Slim(); $app->container->singleton('App\IndexController', function ($container) { // Retrieve any required dependencies from the container and // inject into the constructor of the controller. return new \App\IndexController(); }); $app->get('/', 'App\IndexController:index');
Example controller
SlimPower - Slim Controller will call the controller's setApp()
, setRequest()
and setResponse()
methods if they exist and populate appropriately. It will
then call the controller's `init()`` method.
Hence, a typical controller may look like:
<?php namespace App; class IndexController { // Optional properties. protected $app; protected $request; protected $response; public function index() { echo "This is the home page"; } public function hello($name) { echo "Hello, $name"; } // Optional setters. public function setApp($app) { $this->app = $app; } public function setRequest($request) { $this->request = $request; } public function setResponse($response) { $this->response = $response; } // Init public function init() { // Do things now that app, request and response are set. } }
Usage - Json Middleware
To include the middleware and view you just have to load them using the default Slim way. Read more about Slim Here (https://github.com/codeguy/Slim#getting-started)
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $app = new \SlimPower\Slim\Slim(); $app->view(new \SlimPower\Slim\Middleware\Json\JsonView()); $app->add(new \SlimPower\Slim\Middleware\Json\JsonMiddleware());
Example method
All your requests will be returning a JSON output.
the usage will be $app->render( (int)$HTTP_CODE, (array)$DATA);
Example code
$app->get('/', function() use ($app) { $app->render(200, array( 'msg' => 'welcome to my API!', )); });
Example output
{ "msg":"welcome to my API!", "error":false, "status":200 }
Errors
To display an error just set the error => true
in your data array.
All requests will have an error
param that defaults to false.
$app->get('/user/:id', function($id) use ($app) { // Your code here. $app->render(404, array( 'error' => TRUE, 'msg' => 'user not found', )); });
{ "msg":"user not found", "error":true, "status":404 }
You can optionally throw exceptions, the middleware will catch all exceptions and display error messages.
$app->get('/user/:id', function($id) use ($app) { // Your code here. if(...) { throw new \Exception("Something wrong with your request!"); } });
{ "error": true, "msg": "ERROR: Something wrong with your request!", "status": 500 }
Embedding response data and metadata in separate containers
It is possible to separate response metadata and business information in separate containers.
To make it possible just init JsonView with containers names
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; $app = new \SlimPower\Slim\Slim(); $app->view(new \SlimPower\Slim\Middleware\Json\JsonView("resource", "meta")); $app->add(new \SlimPower\Slim\Middleware\Json\JsonMiddleware());
Response
{ "resource":{ "msg":"welcome to my API!" }, "meta":{ "error":false, "status":200 } }
Routing specific requests to the API
If your site is using regular HTML responses and you just want to expose an API point on a specific route, you can use Slim router middlewares to define this.
function jsonResponse(){ $app = \SlimPower\Slim\Slim::getInstance(); $app->view(new \SlimPower\Slim\Middleware\Json\JsonView()); $app->add(new \SlimPower\Slim\Middleware\Json\JsonMiddleware()); } $app->get('/home',function() use($app){ // Regular HTML response. $app->render("template.tpl"); }); $app->get('/api','jsonResponse',function() use($app){ // This request will have full JSON responses. $app->render(200, array( 'msg' => 'welcome to my API!', )); });
Middleware
The middleware will set some static routes for default requests. if you dont want to use it, you can copy its content code into your bootstrap file.
IMPORTANT: remember to use $app->config('debug', false);
or errors will still be printed in HTML
