Request object in DI container

1

Hi,

I need the request object (PSR-7, ServerRequestInterface) in my DI container. How can I add and use it? The request object will be handled through the middlewares and delivered as argument to the closure or controller action of the matchting route. But I need it for a dependency of the URI extension of Plates.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks.

You can do this by implementing a custom Middlware that adds the Plates URI extension to the engine.

Here is an example:

<?php

namespace App\Middleware;

use League\Plates\Engine;
use League\Plates\Extension\URI;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\MiddlewareInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;

final class PlatesMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    private Engine $engine;

    public function __construct(Engine $engine)
    {
        $this->engine = $engine;
    }

    public function process(
        ServerRequestInterface $request,
        RequestHandlerInterface $handler
    ): ResponseInterface {
        // Load URI extension using a PSR-7 request object
        $this->engine->loadExtension(new URI($request->getUri()->__toString()));

        return $handler->handle($request);
    }
}

Add the PlatesMiddleware before the RoutingMiddleware.

use App\Middleware\PlatesMiddleware;

$app->add(PlatesMiddleware::class);
$app->addRoutingMiddleware();

This example assumes that you have installed a DI container, e.g. PHP-DI.

You are my hero! Thank you.

So there is no solution to get the request object into the DI container because of the application lifecycle?

You’re welcome :slight_smile:

The Request and Response objects are context-specific and therefore have a different life cycle. These two objects should (must) therefore never be in the DI container.
