Usage
-----

[](#usage)

It adheres to the PSR-7, PSR-17, PSR-18 standards and strictly implements these interfaces to a large extent.

### PSR-7 Emitter Usage

[](#psr-7-emitter-usage)

```
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Message\{Response, Stream};
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Emitter\Emitter;

$response = new Response(200, [], new Stream('Hello World', null), '1.1');

$emitter = new Emitter();
$emitter->emit($response);
```

or

```
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Facade\Factory;
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Facade\Emitter;

$response = Factory::createResponse(200);
$response->getBody()->write('Hello World');

Emitter::emit($response);
```

### PSR-17 Factory Usage

[](#psr-17-factory-usage)

```
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Factory\Factory;

$httpFactory = new Factory();

/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface $request */
$request = $httpFactory->createRequest('GET', 'http://example.com');

// ...
```

or

```
use InitPHP\HTTP\Facade\Factory;

/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface $request */
$request = Factory::createRequest('GET', 'http://example.com');
```

### PSR-18 Client Usage

[](#psr-18-client-usage)

```
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Message\Request;
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Client\Client;

$request = new Request('GET', 'http://example.com');

$client = new Client();

/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface $response */
$response = $client->sendRequest($request);
```

or

```
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Facade\Factory;
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Facade\Client;

$request = Factory::createRequest('GET', 'http://example.com');

/** @var \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface $response */
$response = Client::sendRequest($request);
```

#### A Small Difference For PSR-7 Stream

[](#a-small-difference-for-psr-7-stream)

If you are working with small content; The PSR-7 Stream interface may be cumbersome for you. This is because the PSR-7 stream interface writes the content "`php://temp`" or "`php://memory`". By default this library will also overwrite `php://temp` with your content. To change this behavior, this must be declared as the second parameter to the constructor method when creating the Stream object.

```
use \InitPHP\HTTP\Stream;

/**
 * This content is kept in memory as a variable.
 */
$variableStream = new Stream('String Content', null);

/**
 * Content; "php://memory" is overwritten.
 */
$memoryStream = new Stream('Content', 'php://memory');

/**
 * Content; "php://temp" is overwritten.
 */
$tempStream = new Stream('Content', 'php://temp');
// or new Stream('Content');
```
