Simple RestClient Package for Laravel 4

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

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `Nathanmac/laravel-restclient`.

```
"require": {
	"nathanmac/laravel-restclient": "dev-master"
}

```

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

```
composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'Nathanmac\RestClient\RestClientServiceProvider'

```

##### Calling an Endpoint

[](#calling-an-endpoint)

```
try {
    $response = RestClient::get('hostname:port/endpoint');
} catch (Exception $ex) {
    print "Error: " . $ex->getMessage(); // Error: COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST
}
```

###### HTTP Methods

[](#http-methods)

```
  $response = RestClient::get('hostname:port/endpoint');
  $response = RestClient::post('hostname:port/endpoint', 'payload data');
  $response = RestClient::put('hostname:port/endpoint', 'payload data');
  $response = RestClient::delete('hostname:port/endpoint');
```

###### Adding HTTP Headers

[](#adding-http-headers)

```
$headers = array(
    'token: SLDKFJLKSDFJSLDFJ',
    'other: asfasdfasdf'
);

$response = RestClient::get('hostname:port/endpoint', $headers);
$response = RestClient::post('hostname:port/endpoint', 'payload data', $headers);
$response = RestClient::put('hostname:port/endpoint', 'payload data', $headers);
$response = RestClient::delete('hostname:port/endpoint', $headers);
```

##### Get the HTTP Status Code

[](#get-the-http-status-code)

```
echo "HTTP Status Code: " . $response->getStatusCode(); // HTTP Status Code: 200
echo "HTTP Status Text: " . $response->getStatusText(); // HTTP Status Text: OK
```

##### Returning the response content

[](#returning-the-response-content)

```
print $response->getContent();
```

##### Returning the response headers

[](#returning-the-response-headers)

```
print_r($response->getHeaders());
```

##### Returning a specific header

[](#returning-a-specific-header)

```
echo "Content-Type: " . $response->getHeader('content_type'); // Content-Type: application/json
```

##### Returning the response time (seconds)

[](#returning-the-response-time-seconds)

```
echo "Time: " . $response->getTime();  // Time: 0.23453
```

##### Adding custom cURL options for every request

[](#adding-custom-curl-options-for-every-request)

At the beginning publish the config file:

```
php artisan config:publish nathanmac/laravel-restclient

```

Then edit the `options` array in `app/config/packages/nathanmac/laravel-restclient/config.php`.
