Quiote

Official packages

A growing set of subsystems that once lived in the core — or that a batteries-included framework would bake in — now ship as their own quioteframework/* packages. Each is optional: install it only when you need it, and the dependency it carries stays out of a bare install. This page is the catalogue — for the model behind it, read Plugins overview first.

All of these packages are MIT-licensed (the kernel itself is LGPL-2.1+); an MIT package depending on the LGPL kernel is a standard, sound arrangement.

How enabling works

Section titled “How enabling works”

Almost every package follows the same two steps: install the code, then activate it.

  1. Install — composer require quioteframework/<package>.
  2. Enable — add the package’s Plugin class to your app’s Config/plugins.{php,yaml,yml,xml}. Listing it there is what actually runs it: at boot, PluginManager reads that file and calls each plugin’s register(), which wires the package into the framework’s seams (config, DI, middleware, events, routes, commands). From then on the contribution is present on every request. See Plugins overview: How a plugin reaches a request.

A Plugin class is only accepted from plugins.* because it already carries the mandatory #[Quiote\Plugin\Attribute\Plugin] attribute — a class-string named in config without that attribute is silently refused. All official packages carry it already; you only add it yourself when writing your own plugin.

A few packages break the pattern — worth knowing before you go looking for a missing plugins entry:

  • quioteframework/csrf is on by default — it’s a required kernel dependency that registers itself at boot; you never add it, you consciously turn it off.
  • quioteframework/ratelimit is a plain library, not a plugin — you call it from your own code; nothing goes in plugins.*.
  • quioteframework/telemetry-dashboard contributes a console command that’s available as soon as the package is installed — no plugins entry.
  • Template renderers (phptal/xslt/twig) plug into the config-driven renderer registry instead — you point an output type’s renderer at the class rather than adding a plugin.
  • The auth packages (auth/auth-jwt/auth-oauth) mostly need app-specific secrets, so they register little or nothing automatically — see each entry below.

Security & web

Section titled “Security & web”

quioteframework/auth

Section titled “quioteframework/auth”

Firewall-based authentication: form login and HTTP Basic, credential providers (InMemoryUserProvider, PdoUserProvider, CallableUserProvider), password hashing (DefaultPasswordHasher, argon2id with a bcrypt fallback), and the Firewall/FirewallMap/AuthenticationManager machinery that runs an authenticator chain and applies the result to SecurityUser/RbacSecurityUser. AuthPlugin registers a default PasswordHasherInterface and an empty FirewallMap — both of its middleware (StatelessAuthenticationMiddleware, SessionAuthenticationMiddleware) are a complete no-op until your app registers a populated FirewallMap.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/auth

Optionally add a security.xml/.php/.yaml config file (Config\SecurityConfigHandler + Config\FirewallFactory) instead of wiring FirewallMap by hand — see Authenticating with the auth packages.

quioteframework/auth-jwt

Section titled “quioteframework/auth-jwt”

Bearer/JWT resource-server authentication on top of quioteframework/auth’s contracts: JwtTokenValidator (HS256 via a shared secret, or RS256/ES256 via a JWKS-backed CachedKeySet with rotation), the default RFC 9068 ClientTypeResolver (service vs. user tokens), and BearerTokenAuthenticator. JwtAuthPlugin registers only the ClientTypeResolverInterface default — the validator and authenticator need app-specific secrets, so there’s no safe default to wire automatically.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/auth-jwt

See quioteframework/auth-jwt — bearer/JWT resource server.

quioteframework/auth-oauth

Section titled “quioteframework/auth-oauth”

Makes Quiote an OAuth/OIDC client — never an authorization server. Two distinct flows: sending a human browser to an identity provider like Entra ID, Google, or Okta to log in (OidcClient to build the redirect, OidcAuthenticator for the callback leg, OidcStateStorage for the state round-trip), and fetching Quiote’s own outbound access token to call another API with no browser involved (ClientCredentialsClient, plus IntrospectionClient for RFC 7662 revocation checks). Built on quioteframework/auth’s contracts and reuses auth-jwt’s TokenValidatorInterface for ID token validation rather than a second JWT stack. PKCE S256 is hardcoded (OAuth 2.1 mandates it). No plugin ships with this package — every piece needs app-specific secrets or endpoints, so there’s nothing safe to register by default.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/auth-oauth

See quioteframework/auth-oauth — Quiote as an OAuth/OIDC client, including the decision guide for which of the two flows (or auth-jwt) actually applies.

quioteframework/csrf

Section titled “quioteframework/csrf”

CSRF protection: CsrfInjectionMiddleware adds a hidden token field to non-GET HTML forms, a <meta name="csrf-token"> tag, and a readable XSRF-TOKEN cookie; CsrfValidationMiddleware rejects unsafe-method requests without a valid token with a 403. Both are placed in the pipeline by Quiote\Security\Csrf\CsrfPlugin.

Unlike every other package here, this one is not opt-in. quioteframework/csrf is a required dependency of the kernel, and the kernel registers CsrfPlugin automatically at boot — so a fresh app is CSRF-protected without any plugins entry, and there’s nothing to install:

// Disabling it takes conscious effort (and logs a warning):
'core.csrf.enabled' => false,

Configure it with the core.csrf.* settings and opt individual routes out with an _csrf => false route default rather than disabling protection wholesale. See Authentication & authorization: CSRF and the Middleware reference.

quioteframework/cors

Section titled “quioteframework/cors”

Quiote\Security\Cors\CorsMiddleware, placed by Quiote\Security\Cors\CorsPlugin, answers preflight OPTIONS requests and decorates cross-origin responses. It runs in before_action after routing and before dispatch, and is off until cors.enabled is true.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/cors
KeyDefaultMeaning
cors.enabledfalseMaster switch.
cors.allowed_origins[]Exact origins, or ['*'] for any.
cors.allow_credentialsfalseWhether to send Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true.
cors.allowed_methodsGET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONSPreflight response only.
cors.allowed_headers[]Preflight response only; empty echoes what the caller asked for.
cors.exposed_headers[]Response headers JS may read.
cors.max_age0Preflight cache lifetime in seconds; 0 omits the header.

A non-* origin always gets Vary: Origin alongside it, so a shared cache can’t serve one origin’s response to another.

quioteframework/security-headers

Section titled “quioteframework/security-headers”

Quiote\Security\Headers\SecurityHeadersMiddleware, placed by Quiote\Security\Headers\SecurityHeadersPlugin, adds conservative defaults to every response. It runs in the bootstrap phase, so the headers are present even on an error response, and it only defaults each header — an application or action that set one itself keeps its own value.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/security-headers
KeyDefault
security_headers.enabledtrue
security_headers.content_type_optionsnosniff
security_headers.frame_optionsDENY
security_headers.referrer_policystrict-origin-when-cross-origin
security_headers.cspdefault-src 'self'
security_headers.permissions_policy'' (header omitted)
security_headers.hststrue
security_headers.hsts_max_age15552000 (180 days)

Strict-Transport-Security is emitted only on requests that actually arrived over HTTPS, so it can’t pin a plaintext development host.

The default CSP is default-src 'self', which is deliberately strict enough to break an app that loads third-party scripts, styles or fonts — set your own policy rather than removing the header.

quioteframework/ratelimit

Section titled “quioteframework/ratelimit”

Rate limiting, in two independent halves built on the same symfony/rate-limiter primitives.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/ratelimit

Quiote\Security\RateLimit\LoginThrottle — slows or blocks repeated failed logins, keyed by login identifier. This half is a plain library: nothing to enable, you wire the throttle into your login action yourself. See Authentication & authorization: Login rate limiting.

RateLimitMiddleware — general-purpose per-client HTTP rate limiting, keyed by client IP. This half needs RateLimitPlugin in plugins, and is opt-in even then:

KeyDefaultMeaning
ratelimit.http.enabledfalseMaster switch for HTTP rate limiting.
ratelimit.http.max_requests60Requests allowed per window.
ratelimit.http.window1 minuteWindow length.
ratelimit.http.policysliding_windowsymfony/rate-limiter policy.
ratelimit.http.trust_forwarded_forfalseWhether to key on X-Forwarded-For instead of the connecting peer.
ratelimit.http.trusted_proxy_hops1How many entries to skip from the right of X-Forwarded-For when the above is on.
ratelimit.storagememoryWhere limiter state lives: memory or redis.
ratelimit.redis.dsnredis://127.0.0.1:6379Connection DSN when ratelimit.storage is redis.

It runs in the pre_routing phase, so an over-limit request is rejected before any route resolution work happens, and it responds with an RFC 9457 problem document.

Two defaults are deliberately strict. ratelimit.http.trust_forwarded_for is off: trusting a client-supplied header by default would let any caller spoof a fresh key and bypass the limit entirely, so enable it only behind a proxy you control.

When you do enable it, the address is read from the right of X-Forwarded-For, skipping ratelimit.http.trusted_proxy_hops entries (default 1), falling back to REMOTE_ADDR when the header has no usable entry. That matters because a proxy appends rather than replaces: the leftmost value is the one the client wrote, so keying on it lets a caller rotate the key per request and buy no throttling at all. Set the hop count to however many proxies of your own sit in front of the application — the entry immediately left of your own trusted hops is the one it wrote, and the one a caller cannot influence.

LoginThrottle keys on both the identifier and REMOTE_ADDR, rejecting if either bucket is exhausted, registering a failure against both and resetting both on success. Keying on the identifier alone bounds vertical brute force against one account but does nothing about horizontal credential stuffing — one attempt each across thousands of accounts — and it hands an attacker a lockout primitive against a known victim. It never keys on a forwarding header: a spoofable key is indistinguishable from no throttling. And storage defaults to memory, which is per-process — fine for a single-worker dev setup, useless as a limit across a worker pool. For a real deployment either set ratelimit.storage to redis (see Redis backends) or bind PdoRateLimiterStorage yourself, for shared state without a Redis dependency:

$registrar->service(\Symfony\Component\RateLimiter\Storage\StorageInterface::class, static fn() =>
    new \Quiote\Security\RateLimit\PdoRateLimiterStorage(/* ... */)
);

The plugin binds its own storage set-if-absent, so an app binding of StorageInterface wins.

Developer experience

Section titled “Developer experience”

quioteframework/whoops

Section titled “quioteframework/whoops”

The rich developer exception page — full stack trace, source, and request data — used when core.developer_exceptions is on. Quiote\Exception\Rendering\Whoops\WhoopsPlugin registers it into the kernel’s exception-renderer registry. Fully opt-in: without the plugin (or the package), error handling uses the safe renderer.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/whoops
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Exception\Rendering\Whoops\WhoopsPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Keep core.developer_exceptions off in production regardless — the page exposes source and environment. See Error handling: Developer vs safe rendering.

quioteframework/mcp

Section titled “quioteframework/mcp”

Turns a Quiote app into a Model Context Protocol server — expose tools, resources, and prompts, or turn an existing #[Route] action into a tool with one attribute (its validators become the tool’s input schema), over stdio or streamable HTTP. Full coverage, including auth and what’s not built yet: Exposing your app as an MCP server.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/mcp

Enable the plugin and switch MCP on:

Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Mcp\McpPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];
Config/settings.php
return [
    'mcp.enabled' => true,
];

The Quiote Assistant MCP is a full reference app built on this package.

Observability

Section titled “Observability”

quioteframework/telemetry-otel

Section titled “quioteframework/telemetry-otel”

OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing and metrics: a span tree per request, resource metrics, W3C context propagation, and log correlation. Provides Quiote\Telemetry\TelemetryPlugin, which drives the SDK bootstrap and per-request flush. The always-on, no-op Trace facade stays in the kernel, so instrumentation call sites cost nothing when this package is absent or telemetry is off.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/telemetry-otel

Register the plugin, then turn it on with telemetry.enabled = true and pick an exporter:

Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Telemetry\TelemetryPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];
Config/settings.php
return [
    'telemetry.enabled' => true,
];

See Telemetry for the full telemetry.* surface.

quioteframework/telemetry-dashboard

Section titled “quioteframework/telemetry-dashboard”

A standalone terminal UI that receives OTLP and visualizes traces/metrics live — handy for local development without a full collector + backend. It’s completely independent of quioteframework/telemetry-otel: it’s an OTLP receiver, not the exporter, so it needs neither that package nor a running app. It contributes the telemetry:dashboard console command, which the CLI registers automatically whenever the package is installed — no plugins entry, no bootstrap. Point any OTLP source (a Quiote app exporting via telemetry-otel, or anything else) at it.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/telemetry-dashboard
php bin/quiote telemetry:dashboard

Database adapters

Section titled “Database adapters”

Each adapter hands back a fully-configured ORM and registers a short class alias for use in your databases config. Install the package, then register its plugin so the alias resolves. Full parameter tables and usage are in Databases.

quioteframework/db-eloquent

Section titled “quioteframework/db-eloquent”
Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/db-eloquent
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Eloquent\EloquentPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Registers the eloquent alias for EloquentDatabase. See Databases: Eloquent.

quioteframework/db-doctrine

Section titled “quioteframework/db-doctrine”
Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/db-doctrine
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Doctrine\DoctrinePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Registers both the doctrine (ORM) and doctrine_dbal (query builder only) aliases. See Databases: Doctrine ORM.

quioteframework/db-cycle

Section titled “quioteframework/db-cycle”
Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/db-cycle
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Cycle\CyclePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Registers the cycle alias for CycleDatabase (configured in databases.php only — see Databases: Cycle ORM).

quioteframework/db-propulsion

Section titled “quioteframework/db-propulsion”
Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/db-propulsion
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Propulsion\PropulsionPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Registers the propulsion alias for PropulsionDatabase. Carries the quioteframework/propulsion runtime — a PHP 8.5, Propel-style ORM with its own code generator (bin/propulsion model:build) — accepting ^2.0 || ^3.0, so the adapter does not force a Propulsion major on you. Unlike the other adapters it owns its own connection factory (a runtime config file, no inline DSN or layer mode). See Databases: Propulsion.

Record, replay & regression tests

Section titled “Record, replay & regression tests”

quioteframework/replay records a real request as a “cassette”, replays it — in isolation by default, against stubs built from the cassette’s own recorded effects — and can emit it as a committed PHPUnit regression test. The companion packages extend where cassettes are stored and what they capture. Full picture in Record, replay & regression tests — this section is the install/enable reference.

All eight are tagged 4.0.0-RC1, so a project on the default minimum-stability: stable needs the @RC suffix (or "minimum-stability": "RC" with "prefer-stable": true) to resolve them.

quioteframework/replay

Section titled “quioteframework/replay”
Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Registers the recorder middleware, the file cassette store (the default), and the cassette:list/cassette:show/cassette:prune/cassette:fetch/replay console commands. replay.enabled defaults to false and replay.record to never, so installing and enabling the package alone changes nothing observable. See Record, replay & regression tests.

quioteframework/replay-pdo

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-pdo”

Keeps cassettes in the app’s own database (PostgreSQL or SQLite — not MySQL) instead of a pod’s filesystem, which does not survive a restart. Load order is irrelevant: the package contributes the pdo store alias and a factory, and ReplayPlugin’s single CassetteStoreInterface binding builds whichever alias replay.store names. Installing it does not commit the app to a database-backed store.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-pdo:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\Store\Pdo\ReplayPdoPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Then point replay.store at pdo. See Record, replay & regression tests: the PDO-backed store.

quioteframework/replay-propulsion

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-propulsion”

Records every query Propulsion runs during a request into that request’s cassette, so cassette:show and an emitted regression test see what the database actually returned — not just the HTTP response.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-propulsion:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Propulsion\PropulsionPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\Adapter\Propulsion\ReplayPropulsionPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

See Record, replay & regression tests: recording database effects.

quioteframework/replay-doctrine

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-doctrine”

Same idea for Doctrine DBAL/ORM. List ReplayDoctrinePlugin after db-doctrine’s DoctrinePlugin — it overrides the doctrine/doctrine_dbal driver aliases to a recording subclass, and that override needs DoctrinePlugin’s own registration to have already happened.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-doctrine:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Doctrine\DoctrinePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\Adapter\Doctrine\ReplayDoctrinePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

See Record, replay & regression tests: recording database effects.

quioteframework/replay-eloquent

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-eloquent”

Same idea for Eloquent, via Illuminate\Database\Events\QueryExecuted. List ReplayEloquentPlugin after db-eloquent’s EloquentPlugin, for the same driver-alias-override reason as replay-doctrine.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-eloquent:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Eloquent\EloquentPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\Adapter\Eloquent\ReplayEloquentPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

See Record, replay & regression tests: recording database effects.

quioteframework/replay-cycle

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-cycle”

Same idea for Cycle ORM, via Cycle\Database\DatabaseManager::setLogger(). List ReplayCyclePlugin after db-cycle’s CyclePlugin, for the same driver-alias-override reason as replay-doctrine.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-cycle:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Database\Adapter\Cycle\CyclePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\Adapter\Cycle\ReplayCyclePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

See Record, replay & regression tests: recording database effects.

quioteframework/replay-storage

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-storage”

A cassette store over any Quiote\Storage\ListableObjectStoreClientInterface — Azure Blob, S3 or GCS — built on the framework-free quioteframework/storage contracts. Cassettes go to a deterministic, UTC-hour-partitioned key derived from the cassette’s own recorded_at, so a lifecycle rule prunes them and a “what happened this hour” listing is one prefix away.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-storage:^4.0@RC

It ships no plugin of its own: it holds ObjectStoreCassetteStore, the key scheme, and two of the three cassette-index strategies, for a provider-specific package to assemble. replay-azure is the one shipped assembly; point your own plugin’s CassetteStoreRegistry::register() at these classes to do the same for S3 or GCS. See Record, replay & regression tests: the object-store-backed store.

quioteframework/replay-azure

Section titled “quioteframework/replay-azure”

The production target for AKS + Azure Blob + Log Analytics: registers the azure-blob cassette store alias, and the three-step cassette index — an explicit --key, a Log Analytics lookup that resolves a bare id from the recorder’s own pointer log line, and a --date-hinted prefix scan for a developer with blob read but no workspace access.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/replay-azure:^4.0@RC
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\Store\Azure\ReplayAzurePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Replay\ReplayPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Load order is irrelevant here too, and installing the package does not commit the app to Azure: set replay.store to azure-blob (plus replay.store.azure.account/.container and an auth value) to actually use it. Needs a PSR-18 client bound in the container, the same way session-azure does. Full settings in Record, replay & regression tests.

Background jobs

Section titled “Background jobs”

quioteframework/queue

Section titled “quioteframework/queue”

A background job/queue abstraction: a Job/RetryableJob interface, an app-facing QueueManager::push(), the always-available in-process sync driver (blocking retries via JobExecutor), a default LogFailedJobStore dead-letter sink, and the queue:work/queue:failed:list/queue:failed:retry/queue:failed:forget console commands. QueuePlugin registers config defaults and all of the above services and commands — no app-specific secrets needed, unlike the auth packages.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/queue
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Queue\QueuePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

The sync driver runs jobs inline in the pushing request — fine for dev/test, but production use should add queue-db (below) so a job’s execution doesn’t block the request that pushed it. See Background jobs & queues.

quioteframework/queue-db

Section titled “quioteframework/queue-db”

Adds the db queue driver (DbQueueDriver) and a persistent, queryable DbFailedJobStore, both backed by a PDO connection from the app’s own DatabaseManager — a driver for queue, the same relationship the db-* ORM adapters have to their alias registry.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/queue-db
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Queue\QueuePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Queue\Db\QueueDbPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];

Registers the db alias for queue.default_driver/queue:work --driver. DbFailedJobStore is registered as a service but is not bound as the default FailedJobStoreInterface automatically — bind it yourself to opt into persistent dead-letter storage. See Background jobs & queues.

quioteframework/queue-redis

Section titled “quioteframework/queue-redis”

Adds the redis queue driver (RedisQueueDriver), registered as a queue.default_driver/queue:work --driver alias. Unlike queue-db, the connection is self-contained — built straight from a DSN, with no dependence on the app’s DatabaseManager.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/queue-redis predis/predis
Config/plugins.php
return [
    ['class' => \Quiote\Queue\QueuePlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
    ['class' => \Quiote\Queue\Redis\QueueRedisPlugin::class, 'enabled' => true],
];
KeyDefaultMeaning
queue.redis.dsnredis://127.0.0.1:6379Connection DSN.
queue.redis.prefixquiote_queueKey prefix for the driver’s own keys.

It’s a reliable queue, not a bare list pop. Ready jobs live in a Redis LIST ({prefix}:ready); reserve() atomically moves one into a {prefix}:processing LIST via RPOPLPUSH, so a worker that crashes mid-job leaves that job recoverable from the processing list rather than losing it. Delayed and released jobs live in a ZSET ({prefix}:delayed) scored by their due timestamp, which reserve() promotes from before polling the ready list.

quioteframework/scheduler

Section titled “quioteframework/scheduler”

Cron-expression task scheduling: an app subclasses Quiote\Scheduler\Schedule to declare what runs and when, and one crontab line runs schedule:run once a minute. Layered on queue — the recommended shape for a scheduled task is “dispatch a job”.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/scheduler

SchedulerPlugin registers a no-op default Schedule, so installing without defining anything is a safe no-op rather than an error. It also registers SchedulerLock (best-effort overlap prevention on the PSR-16 cache) and the schedule:run command. See Scheduled tasks.

Worker runtimes

Section titled “Worker runtimes”

The kernel ships two worker runtimes — the plain SAPI and FrankenPHP. These two packages add the off-SAPI hosts through the same WorkerRuntimeInterface seam. Installing a package doesn’t switch anything on: activate its plugin, and give the app the extra entrypoint that server needs (quiote new --runtime=… generates it). Full setup, the runtime comparison matrix, and what changes once you leave the PHP SAPI: Deployment.

quioteframework/worker-roadrunner

Section titled “quioteframework/worker-roadrunner”

Runs the app as a RoadRunner PSR-7 worker, via the roadrunner alias.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/worker-roadrunner
composer require --dev spiral/roadrunner-cli && vendor/bin/rr get-binary
<plugin class="Quiote\Runtime\RoadRunner\WorkerRoadRunnerPlugin"/>

Needs a worker.php entrypoint and a .rr.yaml. Detection is automatic — RoadRunner sets $RR_MODE=http for its workers. Its only setting is worker.roadrunner.chunk_size (default 8192). See Running under RoadRunner.

quioteframework/worker-swoole

Section titled “quioteframework/worker-swoole”

Serves the app from an embedded Swoole HTTP server, via the swoole alias.

Terminal window
pecl install swoole          # 5.1 or newer
composer require quioteframework/worker-swoole
<plugin class="Quiote\Runtime\Swoole\WorkerSwoolePlugin"/>

ext-swoole is a Composer suggest, not a require, so the package installs and type-checks without it. Needs a swoole.php entrypoint, and — unlike RoadRunner — an explicit $QUIOTE_WORKER_RUNTIME=swoole opt-in, because a loaded ext-swoole is no evidence of running under a Swoole server. Coroutines are deliberately off. Settings are the worker.swoole.* family; OpenSwoole is not supported. See Running under Swoole.

Template renderers

Section titled “Template renderers”

The kernel ships only the plain-PHP renderer (Quiote\Renderer\PhpRenderer, the default). Alternative renderers are packages. They plug into the config-driven renderer registry — there’s no plugins entry: install the package, then point an output type’s renderer at the class in output_types.xml (see Templates and rendering). Because renderers are chosen per output type, an app can mix them — PHP for HTML, XSLT for a document export, and so on.

quioteframework/phptal

Section titled “quioteframework/phptal”

The PHPTAL renderer, Quiote\Renderer\Phptal\PhptalRenderer.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/phptal

quioteframework/xslt

Section titled “quioteframework/xslt”

The XSLT renderer, Quiote\Renderer\Xslt\XsltRenderer (needs PHP’s ext-xsl).

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/xslt

quioteframework/twig

Section titled “quioteframework/twig”

The Twig renderer, Quiote\Renderer\Twig\TwigRenderer. A native integration (not an extraction) whose TemplateLayerLoader bridges Twig’s loader to Quiote’s layout/layer model.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/twig

Session backends

Section titled “Session backends”

Session backends beyond the file- and PDO-backed ones the kernel ships, for sharing sessions across nodes or offloading them to managed object storage. See Sessions.

Each package ships a session slot factory, so switching backend is a class name in factories config — name the factory below, give it its parameters, and there is nothing to wire by hand:

BackendFactory to name in the session slotPackage
RedisQuiote\Session\Redis\RedisSessionFactorysession-redis
S3Quiote\Storage\S3\S3SessionFactorysession-s3
GCSQuiote\Storage\Gcs\GcsSessionFactorysession-gcs
Azure BlobQuiote\Storage\Azure\AzureBlobSessionFactorysession-azure
Azure TableQuiote\Storage\Azure\AzureTableSessionFactorysession-azure
PDOQuiote\Session\Pdo\PdoSessionFactorysession-pdo

None of the cloud packages pull an official cloud SDK; each is a minimal REST client over PSR-18, covering just the handful of operations a session backend needs, and each expects a Psr\Http\Client\ClientInterface bound in the container — the same contract the matching filesystem-* packages use.

quioteframework/session-pdo

Section titled “quioteframework/session-pdo”

Quiote\Session\Pdo\PdoSessionFactory — database-backed sessions in a table. The kernel ships an equivalent PDO backend of its own (Quiote\Session\PdoSessionFactory), so reach for this package only if your application already requires it. composer require quioteframework/session-pdo.

quioteframework/session-azure

Section titled “quioteframework/session-azure”

Two backends in one package: AzureBlobSessionFactory (one JSON blob per session) and AzureTableSessionFactory (one entity per session, cheaper for small payloads), both under Quiote\Storage\Azure and authenticated with Azure’s Shared-Key schemes. Parameters: account_name, account_key, and container or table. Built on quioteframework/cloud-azure. composer require quioteframework/session-azure.

quioteframework/session-s3

Section titled “quioteframework/session-s3”

Quiote\Storage\S3\S3SessionFactory — AWS Signature v4, path-style requests, so it also targets MinIO and any S3-compatible store via endpoint. Parameters: region, bucket, access_key_id, secret_access_key, key_prefix. Built on quioteframework/cloud-s3. composer require quioteframework/session-s3.

quioteframework/session-gcs

Section titled “quioteframework/session-gcs”

Quiote\Storage\Gcs\GcsSessionFactory — authenticates with a GCS HMAC key pair (the S3-compatible interoperability mode), so access_key/secret_key rather than a service-account JSON file. Parameters also include bucket and object_prefix. Built on quioteframework/cloud-gcs. composer require quioteframework/session-gcs.

quioteframework/session-redis

Section titled “quioteframework/session-redis”

Quiote\Session\Redis\RedisSessionFactory — one string key per session, written with SETEX so Redis expires stale sessions itself, with no GC pass to schedule (unlike the PDO and file backends). Parameters: dsn, prefix, ttl. composer require quioteframework/session-redis predis/predis. See Sessions: Redis-backed sessions.

File storage disks

Section titled “File storage disks”

Cloud disks for the file storage abstraction. The kernel ships a local disk; each package below adds one alias, registered from its own plugin. See File storage: cloud disks.

Each expects a Psr\Http\Client\ClientInterface bound in the container — no vendor SDK is pulled — and each throws at boot naming the missing binding if there isn’t one.

All three also list as of 4.2: each extends Quiote\Filesystem\ListableObjectStoreFilesystemAdapter, so each implements ListableFilesystemInterface and listableDisk('s3')->listContents('reports/') works. See File storage: listing a cloud disk.

quioteframework/filesystem-s3

Section titled “quioteframework/filesystem-s3”

Quiote\Filesystem\S3\S3FilesystemAdapter, registered as the s3 alias by S3FilesystemPlugin. SigV4, path-style requests, so it also targets MinIO and any S3-compatible store via filesystem.disks.s3.endpoint. Built on quioteframework/cloud-s3. composer require quioteframework/filesystem-s3.

quioteframework/filesystem-gcs

Section titled “quioteframework/filesystem-gcs”

Quiote\Filesystem\Gcs\GcsFilesystemAdapter, registered as the gcs alias by GcsFilesystemPlugin. Authenticates with a GCS HMAC key pair (the S3-compatible interoperability mode), not a service-account JSON file. Built on quioteframework/cloud-gcs. composer require quioteframework/filesystem-gcs.

quioteframework/filesystem-azure

Section titled “quioteframework/filesystem-azure”

Quiote\Filesystem\Azure\AzureFilesystemAdapter, registered as the azure alias by AzureFilesystemPlugin. Shared-Key authentication against a fixed container, named in filesystem.disks.azure.container. Built on quioteframework/cloud-azure. composer require quioteframework/filesystem-azure.

Cloud transport packages

Section titled “Cloud transport packages”

Three packages hold the signed REST clients that the session-*, filesystem-* and replay-azure backends share: quioteframework/cloud-s3 (Quiote\Storage\S3\S3Client, SigV4), quioteframework/cloud-gcs (Quiote\Storage\Gcs\GcsClient, HMAC over the S3-compatible interoperability API), and quioteframework/cloud-azure (AzureBlobClient, AzureTableClient and AzureMonitorQueryClient).

Each exposes get, put, delete and head on a single object, listObjects() (4.2 — one normalized, paginated listing across all three providers, see Listing a cloud disk), and request(), which signs an arbitrary request and returns the raw PSR-7 response for anything the typed methods don’t cover. All of it against the framework-free quioteframework/storage contracts.

They are transitive dependencies — session-s3 and filesystem-s3 both require cloud-s3, and so on — so you never install them directly. They are listed here so the dependency tree makes sense when you look at it, and because a custom backend of your own can build on them.

Each is a client against a single bucket, container or table, with no vendor SDK dependency, driven by whatever PSR-18 implementation you bind in the container. None of the three requires the framework any more, as of 4.2 — they are usable from a plain PHP project.

cloud-azure authenticates four ways, selected by an auth config value its consumers all pass through AzureCredentialFactory: shared_key (the account key), workload_identity (an AAD token from the AKS webhook’s environment), cli (an existing az login session) and chain (workload identity, falling back to the CLI). It is tagged 4.1.0-RC1 for that reason — the blob and table clients are in production, but the AAD credential path has not yet authenticated against real Azure, so it needs composer require quioteframework/cloud-azure:^4.1@RC to resolve.

quioteframework/storage

Section titled “quioteframework/storage”

The object-store contracts, and nothing else: ObjectStoreClientInterface, ListableObjectStoreClientInterface, ObjectMetadata, ObjectListing, ObjectSummary, ObjectStoreException. Its only dependency is psr/http-message — not the framework. It arrives transitively with any cloud-*, filesystem, or replay-storage install; require it directly only when writing your own object-store client against the contract.

quioteframework/filesystem

Section titled “quioteframework/filesystem”

FilesystemManager, the filesystem.* config, FilesystemPlugin, the local disk, the object-store adapter base classes, and Quiote\Session\ObjectStoreSessionPersistence (the shared base the object-store session backends extend — it belongs with the adapters it mirrors, not in a session-* package). Requires quioteframework/storage.

Terminal window
composer require quioteframework/filesystem

These classes shipped inside quioteframework/quiote through 4.1 and moved out in 4.2 with every namespace unchanged. The framework has no require on them, so upgrading alone does not install them — see Upgrading to 4.2 for whether that affects you and how it fails if it does. Usage is on File storage.

Redis backends

Section titled “Redis backends”

Four subsystems can be backed by Redis. They don’t share a package — cache and rate limiting live in the kernel and the ratelimit package respectively, and queue and session are their own packages — but they do share a client, a DSN convention, and a failure mode, so they’re worth reading as a set.

SubsystemHow to switch it onKeys
Cachecore.cache_backend: rediscore.redis_dsn
Queueinstall quioteframework/queue-redis, then queue.default_driver: redisqueue.redis.dsn, queue.redis.prefix
Sessionsinstall quioteframework/session-redis, point the session slot at RedisSessionFactory(slot parameters: dsn, prefix, ttl)
Rate limitingratelimit.storage: redisratelimit.redis.dsn

All of them go through Symfony’s RedisAdapter::createConnection() DSN factory, so any of three clients works: ext-redis, ext-relay, or predis/predis — a pure-PHP client with no extension dependency, which is the easiest option and the one to install if you have no preference:

Terminal window
composer require predis/predis

predis/predis is in the framework’s suggest block, not its require — Redis is opt-in, not a new hard dependency of core. If you select a Redis backend with no client available, each of the four raises a clear, actionable exception naming the setting and listing the three client options, at connection time. None of them silently falls back to a non-Redis backend, because a rate limiter or session store that quietly became process-local would be a security problem rather than a degradation.
