URI Factory

available since version 1.1.0

Most of the time you receive a URI string without any information about it scheme to ease URI object creation you can use the League\Uri\Factory object.

The constructor

The constructor takes a iterable structure which maps a URI scheme to a specific class. This class must either implements the PSR-7 UriInterface or the League URI UriInterface.

By default, the factory uses all the URI objects supported by the league URI scheme package.

<?php

use League\Uri;
use Zend\Diactoros\Uri as DiactorosUri;

$http_uri = 'http://thephpleague.com';
$https_uri = 'https://thephpleague.com';

$factory = new Uri\Factory();
$uri = $factory->create($http_uri);  // will return a Uri\Http object
$uri = $factory->create($https_uri); // will return a Uri\Http object

$factorybis = new Uri\Factory(['http' => DiactorosUri::class]);
$uri = $factorybis->create($http_uri); // will return a Zend\Diactoros\Uri object
$uri = $factorybis->create($https_uri); // will return a Uri\Http object

The create method

Usage

The Factory::create method instantiates an absolute URI or resolves a relative URI against another absolute URI. If present the absolute URI can be:

a League URI object
a PSR-7 UriInterface object
a string

Exceptions are thrown if:

the provided base URI is not absolute;
the provided URI is not absolute in absence of a base URI;

When a base URI is given the URI is resolved against that base URI just like a browser would for a relative URI.

<?php

use League\Uri;

$factory = new Uri\Factory();
$uri = $factory->create('./p#~toto', 'http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/');
echo $uri; //returns 'http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/p#~toto'

If the given URI shares the same scheme as the base URI or does not have a scheme, the return URI will be created using the baseURI URI object.

<?php

use League\Uri;
use Zend\Diactors\Uri as DiactorosUri;

$zendUri = new DiactorosUri('http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/');
$factory = new Uri\Factory();
$http_uri = $factory->create('./p#~toto', $zendUri);
// will return a Zend\Diactors\Uri object

If the given URI does not share the same scheme as the base URI but has a scheme supported by the factory, the factory will use the scheme specific class to try to create the URI object.

<?php

use League\Uri;

$factory = new Uri\Factory();
$ftp_uri = $factorybis->create(
    'ftp://example.com/file.md',
    'http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/'
);
// will return a Uri\Ftp object

If the scheme is not recognzied the factory will use the generic URI class object

<?php

use League\Uri;

$currentUri = Uri\Http::createFromServer($_SERVER);

$factory = new Uri\Factory();
$uri = $factorybis->create('mailto:info@thephpleague.com', $currentUri);
// will return a generic League\Uri\Uri object

function alias

The Uri\create function is a alias of the Factory::create method call.

<?php

use League\Uri;
use Zend\Diactoros\Uri as DiactorosUri;

$uri = Uri\create('./p#~toto', 'http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/');
echo $uri; //returns 'http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/p#~toto'
		   // which is a Uri\Http object

$zendUri = new Diactoros('http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/');

$uri = Uri\create('./p#~toto', $zendUri);
echo $uri; //returns 'http://thephpleague.com/uri/5.0/uri/p#~toto'
		   // which is a Zend\Diactoros\Uri object
