Installation
The recommended way to install Negotiation is through Composer:
$ composer require willdurand/negotiation
Usage Examples
Media Type Negotiation
$negotiator = new \Negotiation\Negotiator();
$acceptHeader = 'text/html, application/xhtml+xml, application/xml;q=0.9, */*;q=0.8';
$priorities = array('text/html; charset=UTF-8', 'application/json', 'application/xml;q=0.5');
$mediaType = $negotiator->getBest($acceptHeader, $priorities);
$value = $mediaType->getValue();
// $value == 'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
The Negotiator
returns an instance of Accept
, or null
if negotiating the best media type has failed.
Language Negotiation
<?php
$negotiator = new \Negotiation\LanguageNegotiator();
$acceptLanguageHeader = 'en; q=0.1, fr; q=0.4, fu; q=0.9, de; q=0.2';
$priorities = array('de', 'fu', 'en');
$bestLanguage = $negotiator->getBest($acceptLanguageHeader, $priorities);
$type = $bestLanguage->getType();
// $type == 'fu';
$quality = $bestLanguage->getQuality();
// $quality == 0.9
The LanguageNegotiator
returns an instance of AcceptLanguage
.
Encoding Negotiation
<?php
$negotiator = new \Negotiation\EncodingNegotiator();
$encoding = $negotiator->getBest($acceptHeader, $priorities);
The EncodingNegotiator
returns an instance of AcceptEncoding
.
Charset Negotiation
<?php
$negotiator = new \Negotiation\CharsetNegotiator();
$acceptCharsetHeader = 'ISO-8859-1, UTF-8; q=0.9';
$priorities = array('iso-8859-1;q=0.3', 'utf-8;q=0.9', 'utf-16;q=1.0');
$bestCharset = $negotiator->getBest($acceptCharsetHeader, $priorities);
$type = $bestCharset->getType();
// $type == 'utf-8';
$quality = $bestCharset->getQuality();
// $quality == 0.81
The CharsetNegotiator
returns an instance of AcceptCharset
.
Accept*
Classes
Accept
and Accept*
classes share common methods such as:
getValue()
returns the accept value (e.g.text/html; z=y; a=b; c=d
)getNormalizedValue()
returns the value with parameters sorted (e.g.text/html; a=b; c=d; z=y
)getQuality()
returns the quality if available (q
parameter)getType()
returns the accept type (e.g.text/html
)getParameters()
returns the set of parameters (excluding theq
parameter if provided)getParameter()
allows to retrieve a given parameter by its name. Fallback to a$default
(nullable) value otherwise.hasParameter()
indicates whether a parameter exists.
