### Examples

[](#examples)

Below we have some examples about how to use the `Rest` class.

We have used a page of the [Brazilian National Observatory](https://www.gov.br/observatorio/pt-br) for GET method.

We have used [Reqres](https://reqres.in/) for POST, PATCH and DELETE methods.

Testing a HTTP GET request
--------------------------

[](#testing-a-http-get-request)

```
public function testGet()
    {
        $rest = new Rest();
        $this->assertTrue(is_object($rest));

        @$response = $rest->doGet([],'http://www.horalegalbrasil.mct.on.br/SincronismoPublico.html',200);

        $this->assertStringContainsString('Sincronismo', $response);

        @$response = $rest->doGet([],'http://www.horalegalbrasil.mct.on.br/SincronismoPublico.html',500);

        $this->assertEquals(1,count($rest->requestErrors));

        $this->assertEquals(2,$rest->requestCounter);
    }
```

Testing a HTTP POST request
---------------------------

[](#testing-a-http-post-request)

```
public function testPost()
    {
        $rest = new Rest();

        $data = [
            'name' => 'morpheus',
            'job' => 'leader'
        ];

        @$response = $rest->doPost($data, [],'https://reqres.in/api/users',201);

        $this->assertStringContainsString('createdAt', $response);
    }
```

### Testing a HTTP PUT request

[](#testing-a-http-put-request)

```
    public function testPut()
    {
        $rest = new Rest();

        $data = [
            'name' => 'morpheus',
            'job' => 'general'
        ];

        @$response = $rest->doPut($data, [],'https://reqres.in/api/users/2',201);

        $this->assertStringContainsString('updatedAt', $response);
    }
```

Testing a HTTP PATCH request
----------------------------

[](#testing-a-http-patch-request)

```
public function testPatch()
    {
        $rest = new Rest();

        $data = [
            'name' => 'morpheus',
            'job' => 'zion resident'
        ];

        @$response = $rest->doPatch($data, [], 'https://reqres.in/api/users/2', 200);

        $this->assertStringContainsString('updatedAt', $response);
    }
```

Testing a HTTP DELETE request
-----------------------------

[](#testing-a-http-delete-request)

```
public function testDelete()
    {
        $rest = new Rest();

        @$response = $rest->doDelete([],'https://reqres.in/api/users/2',204);

        $this->assertEquals(0,count($rest->requestErrors));
    }
}
```

You can allow more than one HTTP status code as a valid response. The code snippet below shows a request that allows 200 and 201 status code as valid responses.

```
        @$response = $rest->doGet([],'http://www.horalegalbrasil.mct.on.br/SincronismoPublico.html',[200,201]);

        $this->assertStringContainsString('Sincronismo', $response);
```
