ActivityPhp

ActivityPhp is an implementation of ActivityPub 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.

Types

Type factory

You can instanciate ActivityStreams types using their short name.

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$link = Type::create('Link');
$note = Type::create('Note');

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note', [
    'content' => 'A content for my note'
]);

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$array = [
    'type'    => 'Note',
    'content' => 'A content for my note'
];

$note = Type::create($array);

Properties names

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$link = Type::create('Link');

print_r(
    $link->getProperties()
);

Would output something like:

Array
(
    [0] => type
    [1] => id
    [2] => name
    [3] => nameMap
    [4] => href
    [5] => hreflang
    [6] => mediaType
    [7] => rel
    [8] => height
    [9] => preview
    [10] => width
)

All properties and their values

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$link = Type::create('Link');
$link->setName('An example');
$link->setHref('http://example.com');

print_r(
    $link->toArray()
);

Would output something like:

Array
(
    [type] => Link
    [name] => An example
    [href] => http://example.com
)

Get a property

There are 3 equivalent ways to get a value.

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note');

// Each method returns the same value
echo $note->id;
echo $note->get('id');
echo $note->getId();

Set a property

There are 3 equivalent ways to set a value.

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note');

$note->id = 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1';
$note->set('id', 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1');
$note->setId('https://example.com/custom-notes/1');

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)

use ActivityPhp\Type;
use ActivityPhp\Type\TypeConfiguration;

$note = Type::create('Note');

// Ignore mode
TypeConfiguration::set('undefined_properties', 'ignore');
$note->undefinedProperty = 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1';
echo $note->undefinedProperty; // null

// Include mode
TypeConfiguration::set('undefined_properties', 'include');
$note->undefinedProperty = 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1';
echo $note->undefinedProperty; // https://example.com/custom-notes/1

// Strict mode
TypeConfiguration::set('undefined_properties', 'strict');
$note->undefinedProperty = 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1'; // Exception

Set several properties

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note', [
    'id'   => 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1',
    'name' => 'An important note',
]);

Create a copy

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note', ['name' => 'Original name']);

$copy = $note->copy()->setName('Copy name');

echo $copy->name; // Copy name
echo $note->name; // Original name

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

Check if a property exists

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note');

echo $note->has('id'); // true
echo $note->has('anotherProperty'); // false

Use native types

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

use ActivityPhp\Type\Extended\Object\Note;

$note = new Note();

Same way with Type factory:

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('Note');

Use your own extended types

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

Create your custom type:

use ActivityPhp\Type\Extended\Object\Note;

class MyNote extends Note
{
    // Override basic type
    protected $type = 'CustomNote';

    // Custom property
    protected $myProperty;
}

There are 2 ways to instanciate a type:

A classic PHP call:

$note = new MyNote();
$note->id = 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1';
$note->myProperty = 'Custom Value';

echo $note->getMyProperty(); // Custom Value

With the Type factory:

use ActivityPhp\Type;

$note = Type::create('MyNote', [
    'id' => 'https://example.com/custom-notes/1',
    'myProperty' => 'Custom Value'
]);

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.

use ActivityPhp\Type\ValidatorInterface;
use ActivityPhp\Type\Validator;

// Create a custom validator that implements ValidatorInterface
class MyPropertyValidator implements ValidatorInterface
{
    // A public validate() method is mandatory
    public function validate($value, $container)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

// Attach this custom validator to a property
Validator::add('myProperty', MyPropertyValidator::class);

// Now all values are checked with the validate() method
// 'myProperty' is passed to the first argument
// $note is passed to the second one.

$note->myProperty = 'Custom Value';

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

use ActivityPhp\Type;

// Attach this custom validator to a property
Type::addValidator('myProperty', MyPropertyValidator::class);

Server

A server instance is an entry point of a federation.

Its purpose is to receive, send and forward activities appropriately.

A minimal approach is:

use ActivityPhp\Server;

$server = new Server();

For more configuration parameters, See the full documentation

WebFinger

WebFinger is a protocol that allows for discovery of information about people.

Given a handle, ActivityPub instances can discover profiles using this protocol.

use ActivityPhp\Server;

$server = new Server();

$handle = '[email protected]';

// Get a WebFinger instance
$webfinger = $server->actor($handle)->webfinger();

In this implementation, we can use an Object Identifier (URI) instead of a WebFinger handle.

use ActivityPhp\Server;

$server = new Server();

$handle = 'https://example.org/users/bob';

// Get a WebFinger instance
$webfinger = $server->actor($handle)->webfinger();

WebFinger::toArray()

Get all WebFinger data as an array.

use ActivityPhp\Server;

$server = new Server();

$handle = '[email protected]';

// Get a WebFinger instance
$webfinger = $server->actor($handle)->webfinger();

// Dumps all properties
print_r($webfinger->toArray());

// A one line call
print_r(
    $server->actor($handle)->webfinger()->toArray()
);

Would output something like:

Array
(
    [subject] => acct:[email protected]
    [aliases] => Array
        (
            [0] => http://example.org/users/bob
        )
    [links] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [rel] => self
                    [type] => application/activity+json
                    [href] => http://example.org/users/bob
                )
        )
)

WebFinger::getSubject()

Get a WebFinger resource.

echo $webfinger->getSubject();

// Would output 'acct:[email protected]'

WebFinger::getProfileId()

Get ActivityPub object identifier (URI).

echo $webfinger->getProfileId();

// Would output 'http://example.org/users/bob'

WebFinger::getHandle()

Get a profile handle.

echo $webfinger->getHandle();

// Would output '[email protected]'

WebFinger::getAliases()

Get all aliases entries for this profile.

print_r(
    $webfinger->getAliases()
);

Would output something like:

Array
(
    [0] => http://example.org/users/bob
)

WebFinger::getLinks()

Get all links entries for this profile.

print_r(
    $webfinger->getLinks()
);

Would output something like:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [rel] => self
            [type] => application/activity+json
            [href] => http://example.org/users/bob
        )
)
