ResponseFactory

Purpose

ResponseFactory is the concrete implementation behind FastForward\Http\Message\Factory\ResponseFactoryInterface . It wraps a PSR-17 response factory and adds convenience methods for common response types.

Constructor

final readonly class ResponseFactory implements ResponseFactoryInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory,
    ) {}
}

Behavior

The class has two kinds of methods:

• createResponse() delegates to the wrapped PSR-17 factory
• the helper methods instantiate Fast Forward response classes directly

Helper Return Types

Important Detail

Only createResponse() uses the wrapped PSR-17 response factory. The convenience helpers create specialized response objects directly because those response types come from fast-forward/http-message .

Example

use FastForward\Http\Message\Factory\ResponseFactory;
use Nyholm\Psr7\Factory\Psr17Factory;

$factory = new ResponseFactory(new Psr17Factory());

$response = $factory->createResponseFromPayload([
    'hello' => 'world',
]);

Extensibility

ResponseFactory is final and readonly . If you need different helper behavior, prefer composition:

• register your own implementation for FastForward\Http\Message\Factory\ResponseFactoryInterface
• keep using the PSR-17 factory directly for custom response assembly
