HTTP

Every response, explicit.

Request and response objects are central to Zephyrus. This chapter will explain their structure and how immutability shapes the flow through an application.

#Intentional changes

A response can be created with an explicit status. Updating a header returns a new response object.

use Zephyrus\Http\Response;

$response = Response::json(['created' => true], 201);
$response = $response->withHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-store');

return $response;

#What this chapter will cover

• The request object and its typed parts
• JSON, HTML and redirect responses
• Headers, status codes and immutability
• The response lifecycle

Reference in preparation This example is illustrative. The complete API will be documented against the updated core.
