A PHP 5.3-compatible fork of [Guzzle Commands](https://github.com/guzzle/command).

Why?
====

[](#why)

Sadly, [60%](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/5/all) of all PHP web servers still run PHP 5.4 and lower, but Guzzle Commands needs PHP 5.5 or higher. This fork makes Guzzle Commands compatible with PHP 5.3.29 through 7.1.

How to Use This Fork
====================

[](#how-to-use-this-fork)

Usage is identical to [`guzzle/command`](https://github.com/guzzle/command), except that the code in this library is namespaced under `Hough\Guzzle\Command` instead of `GuzzleHttp\Command`.

---

This library uses Guzzle (`ehough/guzzle`, version 6.x) and provides the foundations to create fully-featured web service clients by abstracting Guzzle HTTP **requests** and **responses** into higher-level **commands** and **results**. A **middleware** system, analogous to — but separate from — the one in the HTTP layer may be used to customize client behavior when preparing commands into requests and processing responses into results.

### Commands

[](#commands)

Key-value pair objects representing an operation of a web service. Commands have a name and a set of parameters.

### Results

[](#results)

Key-value pair objects representing the processed result of executing an operation of a web service.

Service Clients
---------------

[](#service-clients)

Service Clients are web service clients that implement the `Hough\Guzzle\Command\ServiceClientInterface` and use an underlying Guzzle HTTP client (`GuzzleHttp\Client`) to communicate with the service. Service clients create and execute **commands** (`Hough\Guzzle\Command\CommandInterface`), which encapsulate operations within the web service, including the operation name and parameters. This library provides a generic implementation of a service client: the `Hough\Guzzle\Command\ServiceClient` class.

Instantiating a Service Client
------------------------------

[](#instantiating-a-service-client)

@TODO Add documentation

- `ServiceClient`'s constructor
- Transformer functions (`$commandToRequestTransformer` and `$responseToResultTransformer`)
- The `HandlerStack`

Executing Commands
------------------

[](#executing-commands)

Service clients create command objects using the `getCommand()` method.

```
$commandName = 'foo';
$arguments = ['baz' => 'bar'];
$command = $client->getCommand($commandName, $arguments);
```

After creating a command, you may execute the command using the `execute()`method of the client.

```
$result = $client->execute($command);
```

The result of executing a command will be a `Hough\Guzzle\Command\ResultInterface`object. Result objects are `ArrayAccess`-ible and contain the data parsed from HTTP response.

Service clients have magic methods that act as shortcuts to executing commands by name without having to create the `Command` object in a separate step before executing it.

```
$result = $client->foo(['baz' => 'bar']);
```

Asynchronous Commands
---------------------

[](#asynchronous-commands)

@TODO Add documentation

- `-Async` suffix for client methods
- Promises

```
// Create and execute an asynchronous command.
$command = $command = $client->getCommand('foo', ['baz' => 'bar']);
$promise = $client->executeAsync($command);

// Use asynchronous commands with magic methods.
$promise = $client->fooAsync(['baz' => 'bar']);
```

@TODO Add documentation

- `wait()`-ing on promises.

```
$result = $promise->wait();

echo $result['fizz']; //> 'buzz'
```

Concurrent Requests
-------------------

[](#concurrent-requests)

@TODO Add documentation

- `executeAll()`
- `executeAllAsync()`.
- Options (`fulfilled`, `rejected`, `concurrency`)

Middleware: Extending the Client
--------------------------------

[](#middleware-extending-the-client)

Middleware can be added to the service client or underlying HTTP client to implement additional behavior and customize the `Command`-to-`Result` and `Request`-to-`Response` lifecycles, respectively.

Todo
----

[](#todo)

- Middleware system and command vs request layers
- The `HandlerStack`
