When making HTTP requests to external APIs it is valuable to track each request and its response. This insight can help you find issues, track usage, and reuse responses for testing/development.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require always-open/laravel-request-logger
```

### Breaking change

[](#breaking-change)

If you are upgrading to 3.x or newer, the following steps must be taken as new fields have been added to the logging tables.

- Create a migration for each logging tables with the following

```
// The headers that were part of the request
$table->json('request_headers')
    ->nullable();
// The headers that were part of the response
$table->json('response_headers')
    ->nullable();
```

Run this migration prior to upgrading the package.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="\AlwaysOpen\RequestLogger\RequestLoggerServiceProvider"
```

Running the above command will publish the config file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Creation

[](#creation)

To add logs to your system you must first create the migration and model for the appropriate log. This is done by using the packages `request-logger:make-table` command.

The command needs the name of the item to be tracked and it will be used for naming the model and table.

#### Example

[](#example)

```
php artisan request-logger:make-table facebook
```

This will create a model `\App\Models\FacebookRequestLog` and a migration to create the table `facebook_request_logs`

### Implementation

[](#implementation)

Then you can use that model to create logs of your requests where you can make the API calls.

#### Example

[](#example-1)

##### Guzzle

[](#guzzle)

```
function makeFacebookApiCall(array $body, Client $facebook_client)
{
    $request_headers = [
        'api-key' => $config->apiKey,
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    ];

    $versioned_path = self::buildVersionedUrlPath($path);

    $encoded_body = json_encode($body, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);

    $request = new Request(
        'GET',
        '/v1/users',
        $request_headers,
        $encoded_body,
    );

    $request_log = FacebookRequestLog::makeFromGuzzle($request);

    $response = $client->send($request);

    $request_log->response_code = $response->getStatusCode();
    $request_log->response = json_decode((string)$response->getBody(), true);
    $request_log->save();
}
```

Instead of manually setting the response data you can instead leverage the `updateFromResponse` method:

```
function makeFacebookApiCall(array $body, Client $facebook_client)
{
    $request_headers = [
        'api-key' => $config->apiKey,
        'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    ];

    $versioned_path = self::buildVersionedUrlPath($path);

    $encoded_body = json_encode($body, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);

    $request = new Request(
        'GET',
        '/v1/users',
        $request_headers,
        $encoded_body,
    );

    $request_log = FacebookRequestLog::makeFromGuzzle($request);

    $response = $client->send($request);
    $request_log->updateFromResponse($response);
}
```

You can also manually set each property and then save the log instance.

### Testing

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```

### Using Docker

[](#using-docker)

All assets are set up under the docker-compose.yml file. The first time you run the docker image you must build it with the following command:

```
./docker.sh -b -s
```

Then you can bring it up in the background using:

```
./docker.sh -d
```

From there you can run the tests within an isolated environment
