Integrating Silex with Mouf

In this example, we are using Silex and the Mouf framework as a container.

How?

Here is a sample about injecting a controller in Pimple.

• Install this package using Composer.
• This package depends on Mouf. Once Mouf is downloaded, you need to install Mouf.

• Then, declare a simple test controller:

  <?php
  namespace Example\Controller;
  
  use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
  
  class TestController
  {
    private $text;
    public function __construct($text)
    {
        $this->text = $text;
    }
  
    public function testAction()
    {
        return new JsonResponse(array("hello"=>$this->text));
    }
  }
  

• Create an instance mycontroller for your controller in Mouf. When this is over, you should see this in Mouf UI:
  

• Init your application using the extended Mouf\Silex\Application class:

  // Load Mouf (and Composer's autoloader)
  require_once __DIR__.'/mouf/Mouf.php';
  
  // Get Silex app with Mouf support
  $app = new Mouf\Interop\Silex\Application();
  
  // Register Silex's controllers support
  $app->register(new Silex\Provider\ServiceControllerServiceProvider());
  
  // Register the Mouf DI container
  $app->registerFallbackContainer(Mouf\MoufManager::getMoufManager());
  
  // 'mycontroller' instance is declared in Mouf!
  $app->get('/hello', "mycontroller:testAction");
  
  $app->run();  
  

See how great it is? You can use the simple routing mechanism of Pimple and get rid of all the spaguetti code building your dependencies.
