Facades for Slim 4

Slim Facades

Introduction

SlimFacades is a package to provide facades for Slim PHP framework. This package is based on slim-facdes by @zhangshize.

Facades is a noun from Laravel(also a PHP Framework). Facades provide a "static" interface to classes that are available in the application's service container.

Laravel facades serve as "static proxies" to underlying classes in the service container, providing the benefit of a terse, expressive syntax while maintaining more testability and flexibility than traditional static methods, so does Slim-Facades.

Requirement

• PHP >= 7.2
• Slim >= 4.0

Installation

Using composer:
composer require alitalaghat/slim-facades

Usage

After the installation, you can update your code like this:

    //... Something not important ...
    use SlimFacades\Facade;
    use SlimFacades\Route;
    use SlimFacades\App;
    
    // Create Container using PHP-DI
    $container = new Container();

    // Set container to create App with on AppFactory
    AppFactory::setContainer($container);
    
    $app = AppFactory::create();
    // initialize the Facade class
    Facade::setFacadeApplication($app);
    
    Route::get('/', function (Request $req, Response $res) {
        $res->getBody()->write("Hello");
        return $res;
    });
    
    App::run();

Default Facades

The following facades are provided by Slim-Facades:

App

Use it just like using $app!

    App::run();

Container

Use it just like using $container!

    Container::has('view');

Route

    Route::get('/', function (Request $req, Response $res) {
        $res->getBody()->write("Hello");
        return $res;
    });

Custom Facades

The code for creating a custom facades for a service in the container is the following:

using SlimFacades\Facade;
class CustomFacade extends Facade
{
    protected static function getFacadeAccessor()
    {
        //Change 'serviceName' to you want.
        return 'serviceName';
    }
}

The code for creating a custom facades for an instance is the following:

using SlimFacades\Facade;
class CustomFacade extends Facade
{
    public static function self()
    {
        //Change the returned value to you want.
        return self::$app->getContainer()->get('myservice');
    }
}
