API Client
==========

[](#api-client)

**This library makes an abstraction layer for REST APIs.
It allows mapping API resources to your application models.**

Note
----

[](#note)

**This library is under development!
Many things can be changed, and many new features can be added.**

Symfony Note
------------

[](#symfony-note)

This library is not tied to a Symfony framework, but there is a Symfony bundle available: [KrzysztofMoskalik/api-client-bundle](https://github.com/KrzysztofMoskalik/api-client-bundle).

Features:
---------

[](#features)

- Easy to use
- Flexible
- Easy to extend
- Works the best with standard JSON REST APIs
- Supports multiple APIs
- Supports multiple authentication methods
- Supports multiple endpoints per same resource (with the same HTTP method)

Simple configuration
--------------------

[](#simple-configuration)

Api Client does not come with a builtin serializer, so first you need to define your own one.
For example:

```
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Encoder\JsonEncoder;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ArrayDenormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;

$serializer = new Serializer(
    [
        new ObjectNormalizer(),
        new ArrayDenormalizer(),
    ],
    [
        new JsonEncoder(),
    ]
);
```

Same thing with HTTP Client:

```
$httpClient = new GuzzleHttp\Client();
```

Finally, you can create an Api Client instance with a simple configuration:

```
use App\Model\User;
use KrzysztofMazur\Api\Api;
use KrzysztofMazur\Api\Client;

$client = new Client();

$client->globals
    ->setSerializer($serializer)
    ->setHttpClient($httpClient)

$client->addApi(
    new Api('my_api_name')
        ->setBaseUrl('https://my-api.com/api/')
        ->generic(User::class)
);
```

This will create repository for all CRUD operations on User resource that will be represented by `App\Model\User` class.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

With this simple configuration you can now use Api Client to interact with your API:

```
$repository = $client->getRepository(User::class);

$user = $repository->get(2340); // fetch user with id 2340

$users = $repository->list(); // fetch all users

$repository->delete(3671); // delete user with id 3671

$user = new User(
    'John Doe',
    'john.doe@example.com'
);
$repository->create($user); // create new user

$user->setEmail('john.doe@lorem.com');
$repository->update($user); // update user

$user->setEmail('john.doe@ipsum.com');
$repository->patch($user); // partial update user
```

Full config reference

- handling filtering and sorting on list operations
- handling nesting data paths
- implement bearer auth
