The PSR-7 Bridge
The PSR-7 Bridge¶
The PSR-7 bridge converts HttpFoundation objects from and to objects implementing HTTP message interfaces defined by the PSR-7.
Installation¶
1 | $ composer require symfony/psr-http-message-bridge
|
Alternatively, you can clone the https://github.com/symfony/psr-http-message-bridge repository.
Note
If you install this component outside of a Symfony application, you must
require the vendor/autoload.php file in your code to enable the class
autoloading mechanism provided by Composer. Read
this article for more details.
The bridge also needs a PSR-7 implementation to allow converting HttpFoundation objects to PSR-7 objects. It provides native support for Zend Diactoros. Use Composer (zendframework/zend-diactoros on Packagist) or refer to the project documentation to install it.
Usage¶
Converting from HttpFoundation Objects to PSR-7¶
The bridge provides an interface of a factory called
Symfony\Bridge\PsrHttpMessage\HttpMessageFactoryInterface
that builds objects implementing PSR-7 interfaces from HttpFoundation objects.
It also provide a default implementation using Zend Diactoros internally.
The following code snippet explains how to convert a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request
to a Zend\Diactoros\ServerRequest class implementing the
Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface interface:
use Symfony\Bridge\PsrHttpMessage\Factory\DiactorosFactory;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
$symfonyRequest = new Request([], [], [], [], [], ['HTTP_HOST' => 'dunglas.fr'], 'Content');
// The HTTP_HOST server key must be set to avoid an unexpected error
$psr7Factory = new DiactorosFactory();
$psrRequest = $psr7Factory->createRequest($symfonyRequest);
And now from a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response to a
Zend\Diactoros\Response class implementing the
Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface interface:
use Symfony\Bridge\PsrHttpMessage\Factory\DiactorosFactory;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
$symfonyResponse = new Response('Content');
$psr7Factory = new DiactorosFactory();
$psrResponse = $psr7Factory->createResponse($symfonyResponse);
Converting Objects implementing PSR-7 Interfaces to HttpFoundation¶
On the other hand, the bridge provide a factory interface called
Symfony\Bridge\PsrHttpMessage\HttpFoundationFactoryInterface
that builds HttpFoundation objects from objects implementing PSR-7 interfaces.
The next snippet explain how to convert an object implementing the
Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface interface to a
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request instance:
use Symfony\Bridge\PsrHttpMessage\Factory\HttpFoundationFactory;
// $psrRequest is an instance of Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface
$httpFoundationFactory = new HttpFoundationFactory();
$symfonyRequest = $httpFoundationFactory->createRequest($psrRequest);
From an object implementing the Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
to a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response instance:
use Symfony\Bridge\PsrHttpMessage\Factory\HttpFoundationFactory;
// $psrResponse is an instance of Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
$httpFoundationFactory = new HttpFoundationFactory();
$symfonyResponse = $httpFoundationFactory->createResponse($psrResponse);
