The DependencyInjection Component | ||
================================= | ||
|
||
In the previous chapter, we emptied the ``Simplex\Framework`` class by | ||
extending the ``HttpKernel`` class from the eponymous component. Seeing this | ||
empty class, you might be tempted to move some code from the front controller | ||
to it:: | ||
|
||
// example.com/src/Simplex/Framework.php | ||
|
||
namespace Simplex; | ||
|
||
use Symfony\Component\Routing; | ||
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel; | ||
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher; | ||
|
||
class Framework extends HttpKernel\HttpKernel | ||
{ | ||
public function __construct($routes) | ||
{ | ||
$context = new Routing\RequestContext(); | ||
$matcher = new Routing\Matcher\UrlMatcher($routes, $context); | ||
$resolver = new HttpKernel\Controller\ControllerResolver(); | ||
|
||
$dispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); | ||
$dispatcher->addSubscriber(new HttpKernel\EventListener\RouterListener($matcher)); | ||
$dispatcher->addSubscriber(new HttpKernel\EventListener\ResponseListener('UTF-8')); | ||
|
||
parent::__construct($dispatcher, $resolver); | ||
} | ||
} | ||
|
||
The front controller code would become more concise:: | ||
|
||
// example.com/web/front.php | ||
|
||
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; | ||
|
||
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; | ||
|
||
$request = Request::createFromGlobals(); | ||
$routes = include __DIR__.'/../src/app.php'; | ||
|
||
$framework = new Simplex\Framework($routes); | ||
|
||
$framework->handle($request)->send(); | ||
|
||
Having a concise front controller allows you to have several front controllers | ||
for a single application. Why would it be useful? To allow having different | ||
configuration for the development environment and the production one for | ||
instance. In the development environment, you might want to have error | ||
reporting turned on and errors displayed in the browser to ease debugging:: | ||
|
||
ini_set('display_errors', 1); | ||
error_reporting(-1); | ||
|
||
... but you certainly won't want that same configuration on the production | ||
environment. Having two different front controllers gives you the opportunity | ||
to have a slightly different configuration for each of them. | ||
|
||
So, moving code from the front controller to the framework class makes our | ||
framework more configurable, but at the same time, it introduces a lot of | ||
issues: | ||
|
||
* We are not able to register custom listeners anymore as the dispatcher is | ||
not available outside the Framework class (an easy workaround could be the | ||
adding of a ``Framework::getEventDispatcher()`` method); | ||
|
||
* We have lost the flexibility we had before; you cannot change the | ||
implementation of the ``UrlMatcher`` or of the ``ControllerResolver`` | ||
anymore; | ||
|
||
* Related to the previous point, we cannot test our framework easily anymore | ||
as it's impossible to mock internal objects; | ||
|
||
* We cannot change the charset passed to ``ResponseListener`` anymore (a | ||
workaround could be to pass it as a constructor argument). | ||
|
||
The previous code did not exhibit the same issues because we used dependency | ||
injection; all dependencies of our objects were injected into their | ||
constructors (for instance, the event dispatchers were injected into the | ||
framework so that we had total control of its creation and configuration). | ||
|
||
Does it mean that we have to make a choice between flexibility, customization, | ||
ease of testing and not to copy and paste the same code into each application | ||
front controller? As you might expect, there is a solution. We can solve all | ||
these issues and some more by using the Symfony dependency injection | ||
container: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash | ||
$ composer require symfony/dependency-injection | ||
Create a new file to host the dependency injection container configuration:: | ||
|
||
// example.com/src/container.php | ||
|
||
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection; | ||
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Reference; | ||
|
||
$sc = new DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder(); | ||
$sc->register('context', 'Symfony\Component\Routing\RequestContext'); | ||
$sc->register('matcher', 'Symfony\Component\Routing\Matcher\UrlMatcher') | ||
->setArguments(array($routes, new Reference('context'))) | ||
; | ||
$sc->register('resolver', 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Controller\ControllerResolver'); | ||
|
||
$sc->register('listener.router', 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\RouterListener') | ||
->setArguments(array(new Reference('matcher'))) | ||
; | ||
$sc->register('listener.response', 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\ResponseListener') | ||
->setArguments(array('UTF-8')) | ||
; | ||
$sc->register('listener.exception', 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\ExceptionListener') | ||
->setArguments(array('Calendar\\Controller\\ErrorController::exceptionAction')) | ||
; | ||
$sc->register('dispatcher', 'Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher') | ||
->addMethodCall('addSubscriber', array(new Reference('listener.router'))) | ||
->addMethodCall('addSubscriber', array(new Reference('listener.response'))) | ||
->addMethodCall('addSubscriber', array(new Reference('listener.exception'))) | ||
; | ||
$sc->register('framework', 'Simplex\Framework') | ||
->setArguments(array(new Reference('dispatcher'), new Reference('resolver'))) | ||
; | ||
|
||
return $sc; | ||
|
||
The goal of this file is to configure your objects and their dependencies. | ||
Nothing is instantiated during this configuration step. This is purely a | ||
static description of the objects you need to manipulate and how to create | ||
them. Objects will be created on-demand when you access them from the | ||
container or when the container needs them to create other objects. | ||
|
||
For instance, to create the router listener, we tell Symfony that its class | ||
name is ``Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\RouterListener``, and | ||
that its constructor takes a matcher object (``new Reference('matcher')``). As | ||
you can see, each object is referenced by a name, a string that uniquely | ||
identifies each object. The name allows us to get an object and to reference | ||
it in other object definitions. | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
By default, every time you get an object from the container, it returns | ||
the exact same instance. That's because a container manages your "global" | ||
objects. | ||
|
||
The front controller is now only about wiring everything together:: | ||
|
||
// example.com/web/front.php | ||
|
||
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php'; | ||
|
||
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; | ||
|
||
$routes = include __DIR__.'/../src/app.php'; | ||
$sc = include __DIR__.'/../src/container.php'; | ||
|
||
$request = Request::createFromGlobals(); | ||
|
||
$response = $sc->get('framework')->handle($request); | ||
|
||
$response->send(); | ||
|
||
As all the objects are now created in the dependency injection container, the | ||
framework code should be the previous simple version:: | ||
|
||
// example.com/src/Simplex/Framework.php | ||
|
||
namespace Simplex; | ||
|
||
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\HttpKernel; | ||
|
||
class Framework extends HttpKernel | ||
{ | ||
} | ||
|
||
.. note:: | ||
|
||
If you want a light alternative for your container, consider `Pimple`_, a | ||
simple dependency injection container in about 60 lines of PHP code. | ||
|
||
Now, here is how you can register a custom listener in the front controller:: | ||
|
||
$sc->register('listener.string_response', 'Simplex\StringResponseListener'); | ||
$sc->getDefinition('dispatcher') | ||
->addMethodCall('addSubscriber', array(new Reference('listener.string_response'))) | ||
; | ||
|
||
Beside describing your objects, the dependency injection container can also be | ||
configured via parameters. Let's create one that defines if we are in debug | ||
mode or not:: | ||
|
||
$sc->setParameter('debug', true); | ||
|
||
echo $sc->getParameter('debug'); | ||
|
||
These parameters can be used when defining object definitions. Let's make the | ||
charset configurable:: | ||
|
||
$sc->register('listener.response', 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\ResponseListener') | ||
->setArguments(array('%charset%')) | ||
; | ||
|
||
After this change, you must set the charset before using the response listener | ||
object:: | ||
|
||
$sc->setParameter('charset', 'UTF-8'); | ||
|
||
Instead of relying on the convention that the routes are defined by the | ||
``$routes`` variables, let's use a parameter again:: | ||
|
||
$sc->register('matcher', 'Symfony\Component\Routing\Matcher\UrlMatcher') | ||
->setArguments(array('%routes%', new Reference('context'))) | ||
; | ||
|
||
And the related change in the front controller:: | ||
|
||
$sc->setParameter('routes', include __DIR__.'/../src/app.php'); | ||
|
||
We have obviously barely scratched the surface of what you can do with the | ||
container: from class names as parameters, to overriding existing object | ||
definitions, from scope support to dumping a container to a plain PHP class, | ||
and much more. The Symfony dependency injection container is really powerful | ||
and is able to manage any kind of PHP class. | ||
|
||
Don't yell at me if you don't want to use a dependency injection container in | ||
your framework. If you don't like it, don't use it. It's your framework, not | ||
mine. | ||
|
||
This is (already) the last chapter of this book on creating a framework on top | ||
of the Symfony components. I'm aware that many topics have not been covered | ||
in great details, but hopefully it gives you enough information to get started | ||
on your own and to better understand how the Symfony framework works | ||
internally. | ||
|
||
If you want to learn more, read the source code of the `Silex`_ | ||
micro-framework, and especially its `Application`_ class. | ||
|
||
Have fun! | ||
