Div PHP Mirror

mirror is a PHP library that allows you to access and invoke remote classes and functions as if they were local. By exposing classes and functions on a remote server, and generating their mirrored counterparts on the client, this library provides a seamless way to work with remote entities through serialized communication.

Features

• Remote Class and Function Mapping: Expose classes and functions on a server and map them to mirrored versions on the client side.
• Seamless Remote Access: Invoke remote methods and functions from the client as if they were local.
• Serialized Data Communication: Send parameters and receive results through serialized HTTP communication, making the process efficient and transparent.
• Client-Server Symmetry: Acts as both a client and a server, providing flexible and dynamic integration of remote entities.

How It Works

Exposing Classes and Functions on the Server

Use the prepare method to expose the classes and functions you want to make available remotely:

mirror::prepare(Dog::class);
mirror::prepare('sum');
echo mirror::expose($page);

Discovering and Generating on the Client

On the client side, use discover to retrieve the available classes and functions, and generate to create local mirrored versions:

use divengine\mirror;

$model = mirror::discover("http://localhost:9090/");
echo mirror::generate($model, "MyClient");

Using Remote Classes and Functions Locally

Once the mirrored classes are generated, you can invoke them as if they were local:

use divengine\mirror;

mirror::setServer("http://localhost:9090/");
include __DIR__ .'/Dog.php';

$result = \MyClient\sum(1, 2);
var_dump($result);

Handling Remote Calls

The server receives calls from the client and processes them:

$call = mirror::receiveCall();

Installation

To install Div PHP Mirror, you can use Composer (or other relevant instructions depending on your setup):

composer require divengine/mirror
