README

A PHP implementation of the Activity Streams 2.0

This library aims to provide AS2 vocabulary as php objets from json and to serialize them back in json. It does not aim to be a full JSON-LD implementation.

Install

With Composer

$ composer require patbator/activitystreams

Manually

Clone or download repository.

Require the provided PSR-4 autoloader to use ActivityStreams objects

require_once '[path where you cloned or downloaded this library]/autoload.php';

Usage

Let start with the first https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/ example.

Objects to JSON

use Patbator\ActivityStreams\Model\Note;
use Patbator\ActivityStreams\Stream;

$note = new Note;
$note->content('My dog has fleas.');
$note->summary('A note');

$stream = new Stream($item);

echo $stream->render();

Will output :

{
    "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
    "content": "My dog has fleas.",
    "summary": "A note",
    "type": "Note"
}

JSON to objects

use Patbator\ActivityStreams\Stream;

$note = Stream::fromJson('{
  "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
  "summary": "A note",
  "type": "Note",
  "content": "My dog has fleas."
}')->getRoot();

echo $note->content();

Will output :

My dog has fleas.

See tests for more usage samples.

Extending

You could need to provide your own class for a type, for example to implement https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/ActivityPub/Authentication_Authorization.

Imagine you want an Service having a `publicKey` property.

use \Patbator\ActivityStreams\Model\Service;


class My_ActivityPub_Service extends Service 
{
  public function __construct() 
  {
    parent::__construct();
    $this->_actor_attribs[] = 'publicKey';
  }


  public function type()
  {
    return 'Service';
  }
}

You can declare it to type factory:

use Patbator\ActivityStreams\Model\Base;
use Patbator\ActivityStreams\Model\Factory;

Base::setFactory((new Factory)
                 ->mapTypeToClass('Service', 'My_ActivityPub_Service'));

After that, factory will create a new `My_ActiviyPub_Servicefor any json object with"type": "Service"instead of a\Patbator\ActivityStreams\Model\Service`.

Testing
