Slim 3 - replacement for isPost()?

Question

In Slim 2, I would do this,

$app->map('/login', function () use ($app) {

    // Test for Post & make a cheap security check, to get avoid from bots
    if ($app->request()->isPost() && sizeof($app->request()->post()) >= 2) {

        //
    }

    // render login
    $app->render('login.twig');

})->via('GET','POST')->setName('login');

But in Slim 3,

// Post the login form.
$app->post('/login', function (Request $request, Response $response, array $args) {

    // Get all post parameters:
    $allPostPutVars = $request->getParsedBody();

    // Test for Post & make a cheap security check, to get avoid from bots
    if ($request()->isPost() && sizeof($allPostPutVars) >= 2) {

        ///
    }

});

I get this error,

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in C:...

Obviously that isPost() is deprecated, so what should I use instead in Slim 3 for isPost's replacement?

I think `$request()->isPost()` should be just `$request->isPost()`, without the parathesis, in your second code sample. `$request` is an object. — Gustavo Straube, Oct 25 '15 at 15:20
Also, the method `isPost` is still available according to the docs: http://www.slimframework.com/docs/objects/request.html#the-request-method — Gustavo Straube, Oct 25 '15 at 15:22
If you do `$app->post(…)` every request to this is post, a get request would not be mapped to that. — danopz, Oct 27 '15 at 10:24

In Slim 4, there's no such helper and so the syntax gets longer (like a lot of Slim 4 stuff):

$request->getMethod() === 'POST'

According to documentation and comments, Slim supports these proprietary methods:

$request->isGet()
$request->isPost()
$request->isPut()
$request->isDelete()
$request->isHead()
$request->isPatch()
$request->isOptions()

Here it is an example of usage:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;

$app = new \Slim\App;
$app->map(['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'HEAD', 'PATCH', 'OPTIONS'], '/', function (ServerRequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response) {
    echo "isGet():" . $request->isGet() . "<br/>";
    echo "isPost():" . $request->isPost() . "<br/>";
    echo "isPut():" . $request->isPut() . "<br/>";
    echo "isDelete():" . $request->isDelete() . "<br/>";
    echo "isHead():" . $request->isHead() . "<br/>";
    echo "isPatch():" . $request->isPatch() . "<br/>";
    echo "isOptions():" . $request->isOptions() . "<br/>";

    return $response;
});

$app->run();

Thanks for the detail answer! :D – Run Oct 29 '15 at 01:11 — Run, Oct 29 '15 at 01:11
