Caldera Core

This package provides the application container for sharing services between packages and it helps with testing the integration of PHP packages.

👀🌋 This Is A Module Of The Caldera Framework

• 🌋 Find Caldera Forms Here:

  • Caldera Forms on Github
  • CalderaForms.com

• 🌋 Issues and pull requests, should be submitted to the main Caldera repo.

Install

• Add to your package:
  • composer require calderawp/http
• Install for development:
  • git clone git@github.com:CalderaWP/http.git && composer install

Overview

• Provides application container with:

  • Interop - calderawp/interop: Shared interfaces and traits that:
    • Interfaces that provide data-typing of entities, more consistent translation to and from array/ JSON/ database serialization and more predictable public APIs of business logic providing classes.
    • Traits that provide implementations of these interfaces.
  • Forms - calderawp/forms: Forms and form entries.
  • Rest API - calderawp/rest-api: REST API endpoints and controllers
    • REST API endpoints that can translate to and from PSR-7 or WordPress REST API requests.
    • The Caldera Forms REST API.
  • HTTP - calderawp/http: Http interactions between application and outside world via HTTP.
    • Base Request/Response classes used for REST API request/ responses as well as HTTP clients
    • Http clients
    • Dispatching HTTP requests to other servers.
  • Database - calderawp/caldera-db: interactions -- CRUD + anonymize and queries.
    • Works with WordPress, and could work with any MySQL-like database.
    • Mainly for internal use. The data package
  • Data Sourcing - calderawp/data-source Provides common, swappable interface for accessing application.
    • By default, uses calderawp/caldera-db
    • Could use any database, locally or via remote API.
  • Events - calderawp/events - WordPress-like event dispatching.
    • Provides an ApplyFilters/AddFilter implementation.
    • Needs an AddAction/DoAction implementation.
    • The WordPress plugin SHOULD (it does not yet) repeat events with apply_filters and do_action.

• Provides tests for said the application container, and runs integration tests.

Examples

In general, you should use the function \caldera() to access the main container or any of the modules.

$calderaForms = caldera()->getCalderaForms();

Instantiate Caldera Core

You can use the static accessor function, which always returns the same, global instance of Caldera Core:

$calderaForms = caldera();

Alternatively, you can create your own instance of Caldera Core:

use calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container;
use calderawp\caldera\core\CalderaCore;

$core = new CalderaCore(new Container());

Get The Caldera Forms Module

$calderaForms = caldera()->getCalderaForms();

or

use calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container;
use calderawp\caldera\core\CalderaCore;

$core = new CalderaCore(new Container());
$calderaForms = $core->getCalderaForms();

Get The Caldera Rest API Module

$calderaForms = caldera()->getRestApi();

or

use calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container;
use calderawp\caldera\core\CalderaCore;

$core = new CalderaCore(new Container());
$restApi = $core->getRestApi();

Get The Caldera Events Module

$calderaForms = caldera()->getEvents();

or

use calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container;
use calderawp\caldera\core\CalderaCore;

$core = new CalderaCore(new Container());
$calderaEvents = $core->getEvents();

Get The Caldera Http Module

$calderaForms = caldera()->getHttp();

or

use calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container;
use calderawp\caldera\core\CalderaCore;

$core = new CalderaCore(new Container());
$calderaEvents = $core->getHttp();

Add A Module

Module must implement calderawp\interop\Contracts\CalderaModule;

\caldera()->addModule($module);
$module = $core->getModule('moduleIdentifier');

Testing

Unit tests are in tests/Unit. They are run at same time as integration tests -- composer test:integration -- for now.
