This package provides a high performance HTTP server to speed up your laravel/lumen application based on Swoole.

Require this package with composer by using the following command:

$ composer require swooletw/laravel-swoole

This package relies on Swoole. Please make sure your machine has been installed the Swoole extension. Using this command to install quickly: pecl install swoole. Visit the official website for more information.

Then, add the service provider:

If you are using Laravel, add the service provider to the providers array in config/app.php:

[
    'providers' => [
        SwooleTW\Http\LaravelServiceProvider::class,
    ],
]

If you are using Lumen, append the following code to bootstrap/app.php:

$app->register(SwooleTW\Http\LumenServiceProvider::class);

If you want to change the default configurations, please run the following command to generate a configuration file http.php in directory config/:

$ php artisan vendor:publish

server.host: The swoole_http_server host.

server.port: The swoole_http_server port.

server.options: The configurations for Swoole\Server. To get more information about swoole server, please read the official documentation.

For example, if you want to set the 'max_request':

[
    'server' => [
        'options' => [
            'max_request' => 1000,
        ],
    ]
]

The swoole_http_server can only run in cli environment, and this package provides convenient artisan commands to manage it. By default, you can visit your site at http://127.0.0.1:1215

Start the swoole_http_server:

$ php artisan swoole:http start

Stop the swoole_http_server:

$ php artisan swoole:http stop

Restart the swoole_http_server:

$ php artisan swoole:http restart

Reload the swoole_http_server:

$ php artisan swoole:http reload

Now, you can run the following command to start the swoole_http_server.

$ php artisan swoole:http start

The support of swoole_http_server for Http is not complete. So, you should configure the domains via nginx proxy in your production environment.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your.domain.com;
    root /path/to/laravel/public;
    index index.php;

    location = /index.php {
        # Ensure that there is no such file named "not_exists"
        # in your "public" directory.
        try_files /not_exists @swoole;
    }

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ @swoole;
    }

    location @swoole {
        set $suffix "";

        if ($uri = /index.php) {
            set $suffix "/";
        }

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header SERVER_PORT $server_port;
        proxy_set_header REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        # IF https
        # proxy_set_header HTTPS "on";

        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:1215$suffix;
    }
}

1. Please reload or restart the swoole_http_server after released your code. Because the Laravel program will be kept in memory after the swoole_http_server started. That's why the swoole_http_server has high performance.
2. Never use dd(), exit() or die() function to print your debug message. It will terminate your swoole worker unexpectedly.
3. You should have basic knowledge of multi-process programming and swoole. If you still write your code with a single-process conception, your app might have unexpected bugs.

Bugs and feature request are tracked on Github.
