README

This open-source library is provided for cases where you need to do APIs calls with large flexibility that officials SDK may not provide out-of-the-box. When using this Starter-Kit, you will be able to make better cURL requests with a smart managing of requests and responses.

Installation

Composer

1. At you console, in your project folder, type composer require piggly/php-api-client;
2. Don't forget to add Composer's autoload file at your code base require_once('vendor/autoload.php);.

Manual install

1. Download or clone with repository with git clone https://github.com/piggly-dev/php-api-client.git;
2. After, goes to cd /path/to/piggly/php-api-client;
3. Install all Composer's dependencies with composer install;
4. Add project's autoload file at your code base require_once('/path/to/piggly/php-api-client/vendor/autoload.php);.

Dependencies

The library has the following external dependencies:

• PHP cURL extension;
• PHP JSON extension;
• PHP 7.2+.

How to?

Configuration

This library provides, first, a Configuration object. You must create it before send any request. You may create many Configuration objects to provide different environments or you could use .env files to manages it.

See below all configurations:

Development configurations:

With debug() method you will be able to enable requests debugging. You also may set a Logger to log messages across code lifetime. The logger() method is expecting a Logger from monolog/monolog package. Only when a Logger is set the log() method will output messages into Logger.

NOTE: Debug messages will only be output to Logger when debug() mode is active.

Requests

After configuration is done, you are ready to use Request object. You may set a Configuration object to Request constructor or it will get the default configuration.

Then, you must start with request's methods: delete(), head(), get(), options(), patch(),post() and put(). After you will be able to manipulate request with methods below:

When your request is done, you need to use call() method. The call() method will:

• Throw an ApiRequestException, if response fails;
• Throw an ApiResponseException, if response has a non 2xx response;
• Return a Response object with all response data and request reference.

Headers

To manage headers, there is a HeaderBag object that will have all needed methods to better handle with headers.

Samples

You can see very lightweight samples at /samples folder.

Changelog

See the CHANGELOG file for information about all code changes.

Testing the code

This library uses the PHPUnit. We carry out tests of all the main classes of this application.

vendor/bin/phpunit

You must always run tests with PHP 7.2 and greater.
