Package documentation
=====================

[](#package-documentation)

The `drewlabs/http` package provides utility classes and functions for unified HTTP response API and middleware classes for handling CORS.

Providers
---------

[](#providers)

By default providers are automatically registered when running Laravel application after composer finishes installing the package.

- For Lumen appliation we must manually register the providers in the bootstrap/app.php:

```
// bootstrap/app.php
// ...
// Register the HttpService provider
$app->register(Drewlabs\Laravel\Http\HttpServiceProvider::class);
// ...
```

Cors Middleware
---------------

[](#cors-middleware)

To use the cors middleware in your application add the following code to your kernel based on the framework being used:

- Laravel

```
    // app/Http/Kernel.php

    // ...
    protected $middleware = [
        // ...
        \Drewlabs\Laravel\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,
    ];
```

- Lumen

```
    // bootstrap/app.php

    $app->middleware([
        // Other globally registered middlewares...
        \Drewlabs\Laravel\Http\Middleware\Cors::class,
    ]);
    // ...
```

**Note** In order to allow any ` host` or `method`, or `headers` use the `*` in the matching key of the config array.

EmptyStringToNull Middleware
----------------------------

[](#emptystringtonull-middleware)

It's a midleware that convert all empty string query parameteres and empty request body entry to null.

- Laravel

Note: Laravel already provide implementation for such case. But if you still want to use the current package middleware do it as follow.

```
    // app/Http/Kernel.php
    // ...
    protected $middleware = [
        // ...
        \Drewlabs\Laravel\Http\Middleware\EmptyStringToNull::class,
    ];
```

- Lumen

```
    // bootstrap/app.php

    $app->middleware([
        // Other globally registered middlewares...
        \Drewlabs\Laravel\Http\Middleware\EmptyStringToNull::class,
    ]);
    // ...
```

Http package configuration
--------------------------

[](#http-package-configuration)

This configuration file contains middleware aliases keys definition for the application Http request handlers, like auth, policy middlewares.
