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.

What You Get

• PSR-17 factories for requests, responses, server requests, streams, uploaded files, and URIs
• A PSR-18 HTTP client backed by Symfony HttpClient
• A ServerRequestInterface created from PHP globals
• Fast Forward convenience factories for JSON, HTML, text, redirect, empty responses, and payload streams
• One aggregate HttpServiceProvider that wires the stack together

Installation

composer require fast-forward/http

Quickstart

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use FastForward\Http\Message\Factory\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use FastForward\Http\ServiceProvider\HttpServiceProvider;
use function FastForward\Container\container;

$container = container(new HttpServiceProvider());

$responseFactory = $container->get(ResponseFactoryInterface::class);

$response = $responseFactory->createResponseFromPayload([
 'message' => 'Hello, Fast Forward HTTP!',
 'ok' => true,
]);

echo $response->getHeaderLine('Content-Type');
// application/json; charset=utf-8
