Installation

Before you start

The documented framework example requires PHP 8.3 or higher and Composer. Work in your PHP project's directory.

1. Install with Composer

Add the framework metapackage to your project:

composer require fast-forward/framework

Composer resolves the package's declared dependencies. Keep the generated lock file with your application's normal dependency workflow.

2. Compose the core services

Pass the framework provider's class name to the container factory. The example then retrieves the response factory, event dispatcher, and clock through their interfaces.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use FastForward\Framework\ServiceProvider\FrameworkServiceProvider;
use Psr\Clock\ClockInterface;
use Psr\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;

use function FastForward\Container\container;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$container = container(FrameworkServiceProvider::class);

$responseFactory = $container->get(ResponseFactoryInterface::class);
$dispatcher = $container->get(EventDispatcherInterface::class);
$clock = $container->get(ClockInterface::class);

Choose your next step

Use the package repository to explore the provider and component documentation. Keep the responsibility of each dependency clear as your application grows.
