• event-loop

  5 1,260 4.7 PHP

  ReactPHP's core reactor event loop that libraries can use for evented I/O.

  

  ReactPHP has various components, such as the event loop, promise, and streams. When you install ReactPHP, these components and a few more are installed, so you don’t have to install the separately.

• child-process

  2 310 2.6 PHP

  Event-driven library for executing child processes with ReactPHP.

  

  ReactPHP provides the Child Process utility component as a means to make non-blocking I/O calls. This integrates operating system calls, such as curl or cat, into the event loop so that we can attach a callback function for when specific events happen in the operating system calls we executed.

  44 8,952 1.5 PHP

  Event-driven, non-blocking I/O with PHP.

  

  ReactPHP is a library that allows you to turn PHP into something like Go or Node.js so that tasks can be performed asynchronously. Note that ReactPHP is just a library that you install with Composer. It doesn’t have cumbersome requirements, such as installing a custom PHP extension; it just works as intended.
