tonicforhealth/json-rpc

JSON-RPC request handler

JSON-RPC

Handles JSON-RPC requests., _(*1)

, _(*2)

Installation

Require dependencies via composer:

$ composer require tonicforhealth/model-transformer

Usage

Design API handler:, _(*3)

<?php

namespace TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Api;

use TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Api\Request\SurveyGetRequest;
use TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Api\Response\SurveyGetResponse;
use TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Entity\Repository\SurveyRepository;

use Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpcExtensions\Security\Annotation as RPCSec;
use Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpc\Annotation as RPC;
use Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\ModelTransformer\ModelTransformer;

class SurveyApi
{
    /**
     * @var ModelTransformer
     */
    private $modelTransformer;

    /**
     * @var SurveyRepository
     */
    private $surveyRepository;

    /**
     * Constructor.
     *
     * @param ModelTransformer $modelTransformer
     * @param SurveyRepository $surveyRepository
     */
    public function __construct(ModelTransformer $modelTransformer, SurveyRepository $surveyRepository)
    {
        $this->modelTransformer = $modelTransformer;
        $this->surveyRepository = $surveyRepository;
    }

    /**
     * Get survey by specified identifier.
     *
     * @RPC\Method(name = "survey.get")
     *
     * @param SurveyGetRequest $surveyGetRequest
     *
     * @return SurveyGetResponse
     */
    public function get(SurveyGetRequest $surveyGetRequest)
    {
        $survey = $this->surveyRepository->find($surveyGetRequest->surveyId);

        return $this->modelTransformer->transform($survey, SurveyGetRequest::class);
    }

    // ...
}

With request:, _(*4)

<?php

namespace TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Api\Request;

class SurveyGetRequest
{
    /**
     * Survey id.
     *
     * @var int
     */
    public $surveyId;
}

And response:, _(*5)

<?php

namespace TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Api\Response;

class SurveyGetResponse
{
    /**
     * Survey name.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    public $name;
}

Model transformer library can be used for transforming domain object to response objects., _(*6)

Create loader and register methods:, _(*7)

$loader = new \Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpc\Method\Loader\MutableAnnotationLoader(new \Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader());
$loader->add(new \TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Api\SurveyApi($modelTransformer, new \TonicForHealth\SurveyDesigner\Entity\Repository\SurveyRepository()));

Create server:, _(*8)

$server = (new \Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpc\ServerFactory())->create(
        $loader,
        new \Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpc\Method\ArgumentMapper\ArgumentMapper(
            new \Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpc\Method\ArgumentMapper\Normalizer\Normalizer()
        ),
        new \Tonic\Component\ApiLayer\JsonRpc\Method\MethodInvoker()
    );

Handle request:, _(*9)

$response = $server->handle('{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "calc.subtract", "params": {"subtrahend": 23, "minuend": 42}, "id": 3}');
// $response = '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 19, "id": 3}'; 

Specifications

All actual documentation is runnable library specifications at /spec directory., _(*10)

And to ensure library is not broken, run (under library directory):, _(*11)

bin/phpspec run

Ideas & Improvements

• Resolve FQCN and FQCN of collections in request and response;
• Resolve FQCN aliases;
• Metadata of methods can be more abstract in reused in different layers;
• Solve problem with validation messages;
• Error codes convention;
• Remove arrays from documentation generator;
• Add batch possibilities;
• Add notification methods (without id);
• Write simple API client;
• Write full documentation;
• Add model transformer aware interface;
• Add error handling for normalizers;
• Normalize should check denormalization errors;
• Handle collection types in type resolver;
• Parse use block to work with FQCN in normalizers detect type method;
• Add exceptions to documentation.
