How to Create Simple PHP Microservices using Mezon Framework - Mezon Service package blog

In this article you will learn:

1. Configuring the Web Server

In this article I shall show you how to create simple micro service with Mezon Framework

To be honest it is quite simple. First of all you need to create htaccess (if your are using Apache, or just skip this step otherwise):

# show php errors
#php_flag display_startup_errors on
#php_flag display_errors on
#php_flag html_errors on

# use mod_rewrite for pretty URL support
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ $1.html [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*).png$ $1.png [L]

RewriteRule ^cron/(.*)$ cron/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^include/(.*)$ include/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^Res/(.*)$ Res/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^vendor/(.*)$ vendor/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^data/files/(.*)$ data/files/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^Res/Images/(.*)$ Res/Images/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9A-Z_\/\.\-\@%\ :,]+)/?(.*)$ index.php?r=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)$ index.php?r=index&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

2. Install the Mezon Framework Packages

Next run:

composer require mezon/service
composer require mezon/service-logic

3. Create the Service Business Logic

Then create simple class for business logic implementation:

<?php
namespace Lambda;

use Mezon\Service\ServiceBaseLogic;

class Logic extends ServiceBaseLogic
{

    public function helloWorld(): string
    {
        return 'Hello world!';
    }
}

4. Create the Server Web Script

Then we need to assemble our service in index.php:

// here we use MockProvider for no authentication or authorization
$securityProvider = new MockProvider();

// here we decide to use REST transport
$serviceTransport = new ServiceRestTransport($securityProvider);

// here we create object of the business logic
$serviceLogic = new Logic($serviceTransport->getParamsFetcher(), $serviceTransport->getSecurityProvider());

// setup transport and set that we need to use `helloWorld` method for router '/hello-world/' and GET method
$serviceTransport->setServiceLogic($serviceLogic);
$serviceTransport->getRouter()->addGetRoute('/hello-world/', $serviceLogic, 'helloWorld');

// create service object ...
$service = new ServiceBase($serviceTransport);

// ... and then simply run service
$service->run();
