Begin developing PSR-7 middleware applications in minutes!

Note: This project is a work in progress. Don't use it in production!

zend-expressive builds on zend-stratigility to provide a minimalist PSR-7 middleware framework for PHP, with the following features:

• Routing. Choose your own router; we support:
  • Aura.Router
  • FastRoute
  • ZF2's MVC router
• DI Containers, via container-interop. Middleware matched via routing is retrieved from the composed container.
• Optionally, templating. We support:
  • Plates
  • Twig
  • ZF2's PhpRenderer

Install this library using composer:

$ composer require zendframework/zend-expressive

You will also need a router. We currently support:

• Aura.Router: composer require aura/router
• FastRoute: composer require nikic/fast-route
• ZF2 MVC Router: composer require zendframework/zend-mvc

We recommend using a dependency injection container, and typehint against container-interop. We can recommend the following implementations:

• zend-servicemanager: composer require zendframework/zend-servicemanager
• pimple-interop: composer require mouf/pimple-interop

Documentation is in the doc tree, and can be compiled using bookdown:

$ bookdown doc/bookdown.json
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t doc/html/ # then browse to http://localhost:8080/

Bookdown

You can install bookdown globally using composer global require bookdown/bookdown. If you do this, make sure that $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin is on your $PATH.

Additionally, public-facing, browseable documentation is available at http://zend-expressive.rtfd.org.

Architectural notes are in NOTES.md.

Please see the tests for full information on capabilities.
