README

A library that supports communication with REST API. This library can speed up your development with REST API and make it easier to troubleshoot.

• Built-in code base to interact with Guzzle to call REST API.
• Built-in code to support Guzzle request under HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
• Built-in code to get responded cookies.
• Built-in code for common authentication method: username & password or access token
• Built-in code to support form params, JSON data, XML data

Guide and sample

You can extend the RestApi class to use in your project.

Example:

<?php
use NDAPio\RestHelper\RestApi;
class SampleRestful extends RestApi {
    public function __construct($base_url = "https://sample.com") {
        $this->base_url = $base_url;
    }
    public function sample() {
        $args = array(
            "path" => "/path",
            "params" => array(
                "param_1" => "value_1",
            ),
            "headers" => array(
                "Header 1" => "Value 1"
            ),
            "data_type" => "json:json", // format: input:output of REST API
			// default if not defined: json:json
			// json:json => REST API endpoint gets json and returns json
			// form:json => REST API endpont gets form params (like HTTP Form post) and returns json
			// json:xml => REST API endpoint gets json and returns xml
			// form:xml => REST API endpont gets form params (like HTTP Form post) and returns xml
        );
        return $this->doGET($args); // doPOST, doPUT, doDELETE
    }
}
?>
