About

Servelat is an Open Source component-based PHP framework for developing applications in the asynchronous manner. Servelat has an client-server architecture. The server is responsible for processing tasks and routing messages. The client creates a message containing any task and waits for response.

Extending

The Servelat project code is pretty customizable and can be easily extended by adding some components. Take a look at the base Servelat\ServelatApplication class. It has a method ServleatApplication::registerComponents() which is actually just a wrapper for the Servelat\Base\AbstractApplication::setComponents() method of the main AbstractApplication class.

It contains a list of component class instantiations and that's it.

So, what actually the Components are. The Components are implementations of the Servelat\Base\ComponentInterface, or an extended interface or class.

Each component contains the ComponentInterface::register() method where the instance of currently running AbstractApplication inheritor is passed to.

The application provides three main features to the components:

• The Dependency Injection Container (available through the AbstractApplication::getContainer() method) provides the ability to register and obtain services project-wide. Currently used container is mostly based on a Pimple container (see the Pimple home page for more information);
• The Event Dispatcher (available through the AbstractApplication::getDispatcher() method) implements the Mediator pattern to make your projects truly extensible. With help of the Event Dispatcher you can easily add some methods before or after some actions. The description of the base events can be found in the Servelat\ServelatEvents final class. Currently used dispatcher is a Symfony2 EventDispatcher Component (see the EventDispatcher Component home page for more information);
• The Configurator (available through the AbstractApplication::getConfigurator() method) is simply the instance of the default SPL ArrayObject class and allows you to store your configurations project-wide;

Each component have access to all of the three application's methods. You can see the base components (Servelat\Components\ProcessManagerComponent, Servelat\Components\Queues, Servelat\Components\TaskManager etc.) to see what you can do with all this features.

That's a simple code from the ProcessManagerComponent which shows you how to register your class as a service in the container and as a listener via the event dispatcher:

$dispatcher = $application->getDispatcher();
$container = $application->getContainer();

// Register process manger service
$container['process_manager'] = function ($c) use ($dispatcher) {
    return new ProcessManager($c['queues.default_queue'], $dispatcher);
};

// Register process manager as listener
$dispatcher->addListener(
    ServelatEvents::TASK_MANAGER_AFTER_PROCESS_TASK,
    [$container['process_manager'], 'onAfterProcessTask'],
    10
);
