Application

The Application Slim\App is the entry point to your Slim application and is used to register the routes that link to your callbacks or controllers.

<?php
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

// Instantiate app
$app = AppFactory::create();

// Add Error Handling Middleware
$app->addErrorMiddleware(true, false, false);

// Add route callbacks
$app->get('/', function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args) {
    $response->getBody()->write('Hello World');
    return $response;
});

// Run application
$app->run();

Advanced Notices and Warnings Handling

Warnings and Notices are not caught by default. If you wish your application to display an error page when they happen, you will need to implement code similar to the following index.php.

<?php

use MyApp\Handlers\HttpErrorHandler;
use MyApp\Handlers\ShutdownHandler;
use Slim\Exception\HttpInternalServerErrorException;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;
use Slim\Factory\ServerRequestCreatorFactory;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

// Set that to your needs
$displayErrorDetails = true;

$app = AppFactory::create();
$callableResolver = $app->getCallableResolver();
$responseFactory = $app->getResponseFactory();

$serverRequestCreator = ServerRequestCreatorFactory::create();
$request = $serverRequestCreator->createServerRequestFromGlobals();

$errorHandler = new HttpErrorHandler($callableResolver, $responseFactory);
$shutdownHandler = new ShutdownHandler($request, $errorHandler, $displayErrorDetails);
register_shutdown_function($shutdownHandler);

// Add Routing Middleware
$app->addRoutingMiddleware();

// Add Error Handling Middleware
$errorMiddleware = $app->addErrorMiddleware($displayErrorDetails, false, false);
$errorMiddleware->setDefaultErrorHandler($errorHandler);

$app->run();

Advanced Custom Error Handler

<?php
namespace MyApp\Handlers;

use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Slim\Exception\HttpBadRequestException;
use Slim\Exception\HttpException;
use Slim\Exception\HttpForbiddenException;
use Slim\Exception\HttpMethodNotAllowedException;
use Slim\Exception\HttpNotFoundException;
use Slim\Exception\HttpNotImplementedException;
use Slim\Exception\HttpUnauthorizedException;
use Slim\Handlers\ErrorHandler;
use Exception;
use Throwable;

class HttpErrorHandler extends ErrorHandler

    protected function respond(): ResponseInterface
    {
        $exception = $this->exception;
        $statusCode = 500;
        $type = self::SERVER_ERROR;
        $description = 'An internal error has occurred while processing your request.';

        if ($exception instanceof HttpException) {
            $statusCode = $exception->getCode();
            $description = $exception->getMessage();

            if ($exception instanceof HttpNotFoundException) {
                $type = self::RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND;

        }

        $error = [

            'error' => [
                'type' => $type,
                'description' => $description,
            ],
        ];
        
        $payload = json_encode($error, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
        
        $response = $this->responseFactory->createResponse($statusCode);        
        $response->getBody()->write($payload);
        
        return $response;
    }
}

Advanced Shutdown Handler
