Slim Api Wrapper
================

[](#slim-api-wrapper)

Used as a way of accessing Slim App APIs internally. There are two types of accessing the APIs, directly where it skips the traversal of middleware(s), or using the full route where it traverses the middleware(s) attached to the Slim app.

### Installation

[](#installation)

Install with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

```
$ composer require anothy/slim-api-wrapper
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Setup container:

```
$container['slim-api-wrapper'] = function (\Slim\Container $c) {
    return new \Anothy\SlimApiWrapper($c);
};
```

#### Calling a named-route using the `call` method.

[](#calling-a-named-route-using-the-call-method)

The `call` method will skip the traversal of the middleware (in and out) and go straight to the Slim application.

```
$app = new \Slim\App();

$app->get('/books', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    // Show all books
})->setName('api-books');

$slimApiWrapper = $app->getContainer()->get('slim-api-wrapper');

$result = $slimApiWrapper->call('GET', 'api-books', [
   'queryParams' => [
       'page' => 1,
   ],
]);
```

The above example would look for the named-route `api-books` with `GET` method and with QueryString of `page=1`.

#### Calling a named-route using the `callMiddlewareStack` method.

[](#calling-a-named-route-using-the-callmiddlewarestack-method)

The `callMiddlewareStack` method will traverse middleware(s) (in and out) added to the Slim application.

```
$result = $slimApiWrapper->callMiddlewareStack('GET', 'api-books', [
    'queryParams' => [
        'page' => 1,
    ],
]);
```

#### Adding route pattern placeholders

[](#adding-route-pattern-placeholders)

If your route has any pattern placeholders, you can add the `namedArgs` to the call.

```
$app->get('/books/{id:[0-9]+}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    // Show all books by `id`
})->setName('api-books-by-id');

$result = $slimApiWrapper->call('GET', 'api-books-by-id', [
    'namedArgs' => [
        'id' => 1234,
    ],
]);
```

The above call is equivalent to doing a `GET /books/1234`.

#### Adding additional headers

[](#adding-additional-headers)

Here is an example with the named-route `api-books` that require an Authorization header. A `headers` option is added with the `HTTP_AUTHORIZATION` key and value. The value is for an OAuth token.

```
$result = $slimApiWrapper->call('GET', 'api-books', [
    'headers' => [
        'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' => 'Bearer ' . $token,
    ],
    'queryParams' => [
        'page' => 1,
    ],
]);
```

#### Adding a payload (body) to a request

[](#adding-a-payload-body-to-a-request)

```
$result = $slimApiWrapper->call('POST', 'api-books-post', [
    'headers' => [
        'HTTP_AUTHORIZATION' => 'Bearer ' . $token,
    ],
    'payload' => [
        'name'   => 'The Name of the Wind',
        'author' => 'Patrick Rothfuss',
    ],
]);
```

This adds `payload` to the request body as a JSON string.
