ActivityPhp

This repository is a fork from https://github.com/landrok/activitypub.

ActivityPhp core is an implementation of the ActivityPub data layers in PHP.

It provides two layers:

• A client to server protocol, or "Social API" This protocol permits a client to act on behalf of a user.
• A server to server protocol, or "Federation Protocol" This protocol is used to distribute activities between actors on different servers, tying them into the same social graph.

As the two layers are implemented, it aims to be an ActivityPub conformant Federated Server

All normalized types are implemented too. If you need to create a new one, just extend existing types.

See the full documentation or an overview below.

ActivityStreams Core Types

All core types are provided:

ActivityStreams Extended Types

All extended types are provided:

Actor types

Activity types

Object types

Types

Type factory

You can instanciate ActivityStreams types using their short name.

Instanciating a type and setting properties is possible with the second parameter.

Starting from an array with a 'type' key, it's even possible to directly instanciate your type.

Properties names

Whatever be your object or link, you can get all properties names with getProperties() method.

Would output something like:

All properties and their values

In order to dump all properties and associated values, use toArray() method.

Would output something like:

Get a property

There are 3 equivalent ways to get a value.

Set a property

There are 3 equivalent ways to set a value.

Whenever you assign a value, the format of this value is checked.

This action is made by a validator. If rules are not respected an Exception is thrown.

When a property does not exist, an Exception is thrown in strict mode. You can define 3 different behaviours:

• throw an exception (default=strict)
• ignore property (ignore)
• set property (include)

Set several properties

With Type factory, you can instanciate a type and set several properties.

Create a copy

Sometimes you may use a copy in order not to affect values of the original type.

You can copy and chain methods to affect only values of the copied type.

Check if a property exists

Use native types

All core and extended types are used with a classic instanciation.

Same way with Type factory:

Use your own extended types

If you need some custom attributes, you can extend predefined types.

• Create your custom type:

There are 2 ways to instanciate a type:

• A classic PHP call:

• With the Type factory:

Extending types preserves benefits of getters, setters and their validators.

Create your own property validator

Use a custom property validator when you define custom attributes or when you want to override ActivityPub attribute default validation.

Regarding to previous example with a custom attribute $myProperty, if you try to set this property, it would be done without any check on values you're providing.

You can easily cope with that implementing a custom validator using Validator.

An equivalent way is to use Type factory and addValidator() method:
