Features

Halo Module - Resource Development Inspector

The Halo module provides a visual development interface that appears around HTML representations of resources, offering detailed information about the resource being rendered.

Note: The Halo concept is inspired by the Seaside Smalltalk web framework, which pioneered this approach to visual web development debugging.

Features:

• Resource status and metadata display
• Interceptor chain visualization
• Direct links to resource class and template editors
• Request/response analysis
• Performance profiling integration

use BEAR\Dev\Halo\HaloModule;
use Ray\Di\AbstractModule;

class DevModule extends AbstractModule
{
 protected function configure(): void
 {
 $this->install(new HaloModule($this));
 }
}

HttpResource Client - HTTP Testing Utility

HttpResource starts a built-in PHP server and provides an HTTP client interface for testing your BEAR.Sunday applications.

Features:

• Automatic local server startup
• HTTP request logging (to STDERR, a single file, or per-test files)
• Full HTTP method support (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
• HAL link following with href()
• Request/response capture for testing workflows

use BEAR\Dev\Http\HttpResource;

// Start the built-in server and create an HTTP client.
// The third argument is the log destination and is optional
// (defaults to 'php://stderr'):
// - 'php://stderr' : write logs to STDERR (default)
// - '/path/to/file.log' : write every request to a single file
// - '/path/to/log' : a directory; one '<test-name>.log' per test method
$resource = new HttpResource('127.0.0.1:8080', '/path/to/public/index.php', __DIR__ . '/log');

// Make HTTP requests
$ro = $resource->get('/users');
assert($ro->code === 200);

$ro = $resource->post('/users', ['name' => 'John', 'email' => 'john@example.com']);
assert($ro->code === 201);

Following HAL links

href() follows a HAL _links relation from a response with a GET request:

$index = $resource->get('/');
// {"_links": {"next": {"href": "/users"}}}

$users = $resource->href('next', [], $index);
assert($users->code === 200);

A HalLinkNotFoundException is thrown when the relation or its href is missing.

HTTP Access Log

Each request is logged with its equivalent curl command followed by the raw response:

curl -s -i 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/users'

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/hal+json
...

Workflow Testing

AbstractWorkflowTest is the base contract for rel-driven workflow tests. Write the workflow once against ResourceInterface, then run the same scenario over HTTP by extending the concrete workflow test and overriding only newResource() with HttpResource.

use BEAR\Dev\Http\AbstractWorkflowTest;
use BEAR\Resource\ResourceInterface;
use BEAR\Resource\ResourceObject;
use MyVendor\MyProject\Injector;

use function assert;

class WorkflowTest extends AbstractWorkflowTest
{
 protected function newResource(): ResourceInterface
 {
 $resource = Injector::getInstance('app')->getInstance(ResourceInterface::class);
 assert($resource instanceof ResourceInterface);

 return $resource;
 }

 public function testIndex(): ResourceObject
 {
 $index = $this->resource->get('/index');
 $this->assertSame(200, $index->code);

 return $index;
 }

 /** @depends testIndex */
 public function testNext(ResourceObject $response): ResourceObject
 {
 return $this->follow($response, 'next');
 }
}

use BEAR\Dev\Http\HttpResource;
use BEAR\Resource\ResourceInterface;
use MyVendor\MyProject\Hypermedia\WorkflowTest as Workflow;

class WorkflowTest extends Workflow
{
 protected function newResource(): ResourceInterface
 {
 return new HttpResource('127.0.0.1:8088', __DIR__ . '/index.php', __DIR__ . '/log');
 }
}
