⚡ Siro Core

Core engine powering the Siro API Framework.
Routing · ORM · CLI · Debug. Zero external dependencies.

Install

# Standalone engine
composer require sirosoft/core

# Or with full skeleton (recommended)
composer create-project sirosoft/api my-app

Quickstart (5 commands)

# 1. Create a project
composer create-project sirosoft/api my-app
cd my-app

# 2. Generate a full CRUD API
php siro make:crud products

# 3. Run the migration + start the server
php siro migrate
php siro serve

# 4. Test the endpoint
php siro api:test GET /api/products

# 5. When something fails — why?
php siro why

The Killer Feature: Debug workflow (Why → Replay → Fix → Test)

Siro is built around understanding what happened, not just writing code.

php siro api:test POST /api/auth/login email=bad password=x   # fails (422)
php siro why                                                    # why? shows exception + middleware + SQL
php siro replay <trace_id> --force                             # replay the exact request
php siro replay <trace_id> --diff                              # compare before/after a fix
php siro replay <trace_id> --test                              # generate a regression test
php siro fix                                                    # watcher: auto-replays on file change
php siro test:regression                                       # catch regressions across all traces

Every failed request writes a trace (request, response, SQL, timing, exception). Replay it, diff it, turn it into a test. No other PHP framework does this.

Debug production in 1 command

php siro api:why POST /api/orders

  Request
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  Route:    POST /api/orders
  Status:   ✗ 500
  Duration: 143ms

  Middleware Pipeline
    └ ✗ OrderMiddleware       35ms ⚠ slow

  SQL Queries
    └ ⚠ UPDATE inventory      102ms ⚠ slow

  Exception
    PDOException: Deadlock found when trying to get lock

  Possible Cause
    • Concurrent transaction conflict
    • Missing retry logic for deadlock scenarios

  Suggested Fix
    ▸ Wrap transaction in retry loop (max 3 attempts)

  Replay
    [r] php siro replay id --force
    [e] php siro replay id --edit
    [d] php siro replay id --diff
    [t] php siro make:test --from-trace=id

One command. Full context. No other framework has this flow.
