The term Chimera (/kɪˈmɪərə/ or /kaɪˈmɪərə/) has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals, or to describe anything composed of very disparate parts, or perceived as wildly imaginative, implausible, or dazzling.
There are many many amazing libraries in the PHP community and with the creation and adoption of the PSRs we don't necessarily need to rely on full stack frameworks to create a complex and well designed software. Choosing which components to use and plugging them together can sometimes be a little challenging.
The goal of this set of packages is to make it easier to do that (without compromising the quality), allowing you to focus on the behaviour of your software.
This package just provides adapters for Zend Expressive v3.0, so that it can be used as HTTP application.
Package is available on Packagist, you can install it using Composer.
composer require chimera/routing-expressive
In order to make sure that we're dealing with the correct data, we're using assert()
,
which is a very interesting feature in PHP but not often used. The nice thing
about assert()
is that we can (and should) disable it in production mode so
that we don't have useless statements.
So, for production mode, we recommend you to set zend.assertions
to -1
in your php.ini
.
For development you should leave zend.assertions
as 1
and set assert.exception
to 1
, which
will make PHP throw an AssertionError
when things go wrong.

To use this package you need to configured your Zend Expressive application to
use our packages (as explained here)
and register instances of Chimera\Routing\Expressive\UriGenerator
and
Chimera\Routing\Expressive\RouteParamsExtractor
in your DI container.
