Fast Forward HTTP is the aggregate HTTP package of the Fast Forward ecosystem.
It is designed for developers who want a practical starting point for HTTP work without wiring each piece manually. Install one package, register one provider, and you get the default Fast Forward HTTP stack in your container.
- PSR-17 factories for requests, responses, server requests, streams, uploaded files, and URIs
- A PSR-18 HTTP client backed by Symfony HttpClient
- A
ServerRequestInterfacecreated from PHP globals - Fast Forward convenience factories for JSON, HTML, text, redirect, empty responses, and payload streams
- One aggregate
HttpServiceProviderthat wires the stack together
composer require fast-forward/http<?phpdeclare(strict_types=1);
useFastForward\Http\Message\Factory\ResponseFactoryInterface;
useFastForward\Http\ServiceProvider\HttpServiceProvider;
usefunctionFastForward\Container\container;
$container = container(newHttpServiceProvider());
$responseFactory = $container->get(ResponseFactoryInterface::class);
$response = $responseFactory->createResponseFromPayload([
'message' => 'Hello, Fast Forward HTTP!',
'ok' => true,
]);
echo$response->getHeaderLine('Content-Type');
