Develop PSR-7 middleware applications in minutes!

zend-expressive builds onzend-stratigilityto provide a minimalist PSR-7 middleware framework for PHP, with the followingfeatures:

• Routing. Choose your own router; we support:
  • Aura.Router
  • FastRoute
  • zend-router
• DI Containers, viaPSR-11 Container.Middleware matched via routing is retrieved from the composed container.
• Optionally, templating. We support:
  • Plates
  • Twig
  • ZF2's PhpRenderer

We provide two ways to install Expressive, both usingComposer: via ourskeleton project and installer,or manually.

The simplest way to install and get started is using the skeleton project, whichincludes installer scripts for choosing a router, dependency injectioncontainer, and optionally a template renderer and/or error handler. The skeletonalso provides configuration for officially supported dependencies.

To use the skeleton, use Composer'screate-project command:

$ composer create-project zendframework/zend-expressive-skeleton<project dir>

This will prompt you through choosing your dependencies, and then create andinstall the project in the<project dir> (omitting the<project dir> willcreate and install in azend-expressive-skeleton/ directory).

You can install Expressive standalone using Composer:

$ composer require zendframework/zend-expressive

However, at this point, Expressive is not usable, as you need to supplyminimally:

• a router.
• a dependency injection container.

We currently support and provide the following routing integrations:

• Aura.Router:composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-aurarouter
• FastRoute:composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-fastroute
• zend-router:composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-zendrouter

We recommend using a dependency injection container, and typehint againstPSR-11 Container. Wecan recommend the following implementations:

• zend-servicemanager:composer require zendframework/zend-servicemanager
• Pimple (seedocs for more details):composer require zendframework/zend-pimple-config
• Aura.Di (seedocs for more details):composer require zendframework/zend-auradi-config

Additionally, you may optionally want to install a template rendererimplementation, and/or an error handling integration. These are covered in thedocumentation.

Documentation isin the doc tree, and can be compiled usingmkdocs:

$ mkdocs build
