Shortcutting actions

If you return a Response the framework stops immediately and will return that response to the client.

For example during an authorization:

class HttpAuth
{
    public function basic()
    {
        // failed authorization

        $response = new Response();
        $response->setStatusCode(401);
        return $response;
    }
}

Of course you can reuse the application response

<?php
class HttpAuth
{
    public function basic(Request $request, Response $response)
    {
        // failed authorization

        $response->setStatusCode(401);
        return $response;
    }
}

This procedure can be applied to any step or action.

Inheritance on Responses

If you image to extends the Response class in order to obtain different definitions like:

<?php
class ApiProblem extends Response
{
    public function __construct($statusCode, $content = "") {...}
}

You can use as

class HttpAuth
{
    public function basic()
    {
        // failed authorization
        return new ApiProblem(401, "Unauthorized!");
    }
}

That's more interesting!
