Installation ------------ [](#installation) ### Composer [](#composer) - `"jenchik/http": "dev-master"` for the latest version installation instructions. ``` // change this to point correctly according // to your folder structure. require './vendor/autoload.php'; use Spc\Http\Client as HttpClient; $client = new HttpClient; $response = $client->get('echo.jsontest.com/key/value/something/here'); var_dump($response->json()); ``` ### Laravel [](#laravel) Edit **app.php** and add `'Spc\Http\HttpServiceProvider',` to the `'providers'` array. It will automatically alias itself as **HttpClient** so no need to alias it in your **app.php**, unless you would like to customize it - in that case edit your **'aliases'** in **app.php** adding ` 'MyHttp' => 'Spc\Http\Facades\Client',` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### GET [](#get) #### Simple [](#simple) ``` $response = HttpClient::get('http://example.org'); // raw content $response->content(); ``` #### With Params [](#with-params) ``` $request = [ 'url' => 'http://somehost.net/something', 'params' => [ 'id' => '12350ME1D', 'lang' => 'en-us', 'format' => 'rss_200' ] ]; $response = HttpClient::get($request); // raw content $response->content(); // in case of json $response->json(); // XML $response->xml(); ``` ### POST [](#post) ``` $request = [ 'url' => 'http://somehost.net/somewhere', 'params' => [ 'id' => '12350ME1D', 'lang' => 'en-us', 'format' => 'rss_200' ] ]; $response = HttpClient::post($request); // raw content $response->content(); // in case of json $response->json(); // XML $response->xml(); ``` ### Headers [](#headers) ``` $response = HttpClient::get([ 'url' => 'http://some.where.url', 'headers' => ['Connection: close', 'Authorization: some-secret-here'] ]); // The full headers payload $response->headers(); ``` ### Enforce HTTP Version [](#enforce-http-version) ``` HttpClient::get(['version' => 1.1, 'url' => 'http://some.url']); ``` ### Raw Content [](#raw-content) ``` HttpClient::post(['url' => 'http://to.send.to', 'content' => 'Whatever content here may go!']); ``` #### Custom Query String [](#custom-query-string) The content passed in the `content` key will be concatenated to the *URL* followed by a *?* ``` HttpClient::get(['url' => 'http://my.url', 'content' => 'a=b&c=d']); ``` > It is pretty much the same process with different HTTP Verbs. Supports `GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD` #### TODO [](#todo) - Improve tests to include testing all the methods of response (like statusCode...) - Include tests for handling bad data / errors - Improve tests to include testing for all HTTP Verbs ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 41% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity58 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
