About osmphp/core

osmphp/core enables modular software development in any PHP project - dividing the application code into modules - reusable, extensible and pluggable parts.

A module is a directory responsible for a single feature or concept of your application. For example one module may handle products in e-commerce application, another - authorize users into the application's restricted area, yet another one - enable the application to be used in the command line, and so on.

osmphp/core is different from other frameworks in several ways:

• Unprecedented extensibility. From your module, add new and modify existing (even protected) methods of any other module class.
• Smaller footprint, faster execution. Class property values are computed only when (and if) they are accessed, unless you explicitly assign them.
• Simple object instantiation. Classes know and use their default dependencies, you don't have to pass them when creating an object. Unless you want to, for example, when mocking a dependency in a unit test. It also completely removes the hassle of configuring a dependency injection container.
• Auto-wiring. Plug-in your class into the application just by extending a certain class, or by adding an attribute. The application intimately knows the class definitions of all the modules, and wires them together without additional configuration files.

Prerequisites

This library requires:

• PHP 8
  • mbstring extension
• Composer

Install them if necessary.

Installation

Install the osmphp/core Composer package:

    composer require osmphp/core

Getting Started

Prepare the project for using the library as described below. In the future, this package will come preinstalled with a project template, and you will not have to write this boilerplate code.

1. Create an application class in the src/App.php file (assuming that your project is configured to autoload the App\ namespace from the src/ directory; if it's not the case, adjust the code snippets accordingly):

    <?php
    declare(strict_types=1);
    namespace App;
    use Osm\Core\App as BaseApp;
    
    class App extends BaseApp {
    }
   

2. Create a module group class and in the src/ModuleGroup.php:

    <?php
    
    declare(strict_types=1);
    namespace App;
    use Osm\Core\ModuleGroup as BaseModuleGroup;
    
    class ModuleGroup extends BaseModuleGroup {
    }
   

3. Compile the application (in Windows, use \ instead of /):

    php vendor/osmphp/core/bin/compile.php App\App
   

4. In your entry point file public/index.php (there may be more than one entry point file, add the following to every one of them), make sure that the code is executed in context of the application object:

    <?php
    
    declare(strict_types=1);
    
    use Osm\Runtime\Apps;
    use App\App;
    
    ...
         
    Apps::$project_path = dirname(__DIR__);
    Apps::run(Apps::create(App::class), function() {
        ...
    });
