🧠 Advanced Integration Guide: Laravel in Ascoos OS

This guide presents an advanced integration of the Laravel Framework into Ascoos OS, leveraging the capabilities of the Web5 Kernel such as macros, events, and global binding. The implementation is based on the laravel_autoload.php file and extends basic loading with diagnostics, logging, and event-driven monitoring.

---

🎯 Purpose

• Integrate Laravel via the LibIn upload system.
• Initialize using TMacroHandler and TEventHandler.
• Log diagnostics for core services and database connection.
• Emit events (laravel_init) with timestamp.
• Provide global access to the Laravel application for mixed usage.

---

Requirements

• PHP 8.2.0+ with strict_types=1.
• Ascoos OS or Ascoos Web Extended Studio 26.
• Framework Packages: Upload and extract Laravel via the LibIn system (into /libs/laravel/ subfolder of Ascoos OS) or install manually in the same folder. Composer is not required for installation in Ascoos OS.
• Database: A database (e.g., MySQL).

🧩 Core Classes of Ascoos OS

Class	Role
TMacroHandler	Executes macros, handles logging and deferred actions
TEventHandler	Records and emits events
TLoggerHandler	Internal logging mechanism
LibIn	Upload system for .az archives of third-party frameworks and libraries

🔄 Execution Flow

1. Define path: LARAVEL_BASE_PATH = $AOS_LIBS_PATH . '/laravel'
2. Vendor check: If vendor/autoload.php is missing, throw exception.
3. Load Laravel: require bootstrap/app.php and bind to $GLOBALS['laravel_app'].
4. Initialization logging: Via Laravel logger and macro.
5. Diagnostic macro:
   • Check core services (log, auth, db, router)
   • Test DB connection
   • Log success or failure
6. Execute all macros: runAll()
7. Emit laravel_init event: Register and trigger with timestamp.
8. Resource cleanup: Free() for macro and event handlers.

🧪 Diagnostic Macro

$macroHandler->addMacro(function () use ($laravel_app, $eventHandler) {
    $services = ['log', 'auth', 'db', 'router'];
    $missing = array_filter($services, fn($s) => !$laravel_app->bound($s));
    
    if (empty($missing)) {
        $eventHandler->logger->log("Laravel diagnostic passed", $eventHandler::DEBUG_LEVEL_INFO);
    } else {
        $eventHandler->logger->log("Missing services: " . implode(', ', $missing), $eventHandler::DEBUG_LEVEL_WARN);
    }

    if ($laravel_app->bound('db')) {
        $laravel_app->make('db')->connection()->getPdo();
    }
});

📈 Expected Logs

• Laravel Logger:

  [INFO] Laravel initialized with Ascoos OS
  [INFO] Laravel diagnostic passed: all core services available
  

• Event Logger:

  [INFO] Laravel integration successful at 2025-10-04 19:27:00

🧩 Extensions

• Log custom events (e.g. laravel.auth.success)
• Support for Symfony/Yii via shared macros (see SEC00112: hybrid integration)
