RestRequest
===========

[](#restrequest)

A PHP class for submitting REST requests via cURL.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Open the RestRequestConfig.php class and set the $baseUrl parameter to be the base URL of the API. Here, you can also set a default format for the request body (JSON or Form-encoded).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Define a new client like this:

`$request = new \ParamoreDigital\RestRequest();`

You can set cURL options like this:

`$request->setHttpOptions(array(CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLOPT_USERPWD => 'username:password'));`

You can set parameters like this:

`$request->setParams(array('firstName' => 'Ben', 'lastName' => 'Wilkins'));`

You can manually set an endpoint:

```
$request->setEndPoint('/some/endpoint');
$request->post();

```

Or, you can pass the endpoint straight into the action method:

`$request->post('/some/endpoint');`
