Installation
------------

[](#installation)

[![Latest stable version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/3a8fbbbe73d014421a130f2491c224e57fb1cac75b545446c4157177b4323c78/687474703a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f6a686f66666c616e642f67757a7a6c652d666f726d61747465722f76)](https://packagist.org/packages/jhoffland/guzzle-formatter)[![Total downloads](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4a7d6b38429505c0009cce9aa9f5ce3867d7b2ba5e9b1737ae495c689f7a5c0b/687474703a2f2f706f7365722e707567782e6f72672f6a686f66666c616e642f67757a7a6c652d666f726d61747465722f646f776e6c6f616473)](https://packagist.org/packages/jhoffland/guzzle-formatter)

Install this library directly with Composer:

```
composer require jhoffland/guzzle-formatter
```

Add `--dev` if this library is not needed in a production environment.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use GuzzleFormatter\RequestFormatter;
use GuzzleFormatter\ResponseFormatter;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;

$request = new Request('GET', 'https://github.com/jhoffland/guzzle-formatter');
echo (new RequestFormatter())->http($request); // Results in the formatted HTTP request message.

$response = (new Client())->send($request);
echo (new ResponseFormatter())->http($response); // Results in the formatted HTTP response message.
```

### Using middleware

[](#using-middleware)

Logging all requests performed and/or responses received by a Guzzle client, using [middleware](https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/handlers-and-middleware.html#middleware).

The HTTP request and/or response messages are written to the file, specified when creating the `HttpFormatterMiddleware` class instance.

```
use GuzzleFormatter\Middleware\HttpFormatterMiddleware;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;

$formatterMiddleware = new HttpFormatterMiddleware('/path/to/output-file.txt');

$handlerStack = HandlerStack::create();

$handlerStack->after('prepare_body', $formatterMiddleware->requests(), 'http_request_formatter');
$handlerStack->after('prepare_body', $formatterMiddleware->responses(), 'http_response_formatter');

$client = new Client([
    'handler' => $handlerStack,
]);
$client->get('https://github.com/jhoffland/guzzle-formatter');
```

### Available options

[](#available-options)

#### 1. End of Line character

[](#1-end-of-line-character)

Available when creating an instance of [`RequestFormatter`](src/RequestFormatter.php) & [`ResponseFormatter`](src/ResponseFormatter.php).

#### 2. Hide sensitive headers

[](#2-hide-sensitive-headers)

Available for when formatting an HTTP message with [`RequestFormatter`](src/RequestFormatter.php) & [`ResponseFormatter`](src/ResponseFormatter.php) & when creating an instance of [`HttpFormatterMiddleware`](src/Middleware/HttpFormatterMiddleware.php).
The headers seen as sensitive can be found in the array [`Formatter::SENSITIVE_HEADERS`](src/Formatter.php).
