RequestInput
============

[](#requestinput)

HTTP Request input/body parser for php rest API.

This should be used as a body parser for an http request in a rest API;

Assuming that an http request can be sent with some information in different formats like: XML, JSON, YAML, and others; Request Input accepts all of the above, and can be complemented by creating a custom parser.

Install
=======

[](#install)

- From the prompt command line \[cmd\]

```
composer require php_modules/request-input
```

- composer.json

```
{
  "require": {
    "php_modules/request-input": "^1.0.1"
  }
}
```

USE
===

[](#use)

Without php-module
------------------

[](#without-php-module)

```
use Sammy\Packs\RequestInput;

$request = new RequestInput;

$body = $request->getRequestInput();
```

With php-module
---------------

[](#with-php-module)

```
$request = requires ('request-input');

$body = $request->getRequestInput();
```

The '$body' variable should be evaluated acording to the request body.

Below is a list of data type matches supported by requestInput.

### JSON

[](#json)

```
{
  "user": {
    "name": "Foo",
    "email": "foo@bar",
    "site": "foobar.baz"
  }
}
```

### YAML

[](#yaml)

```
user:
  name: Foo
  email: foo@bar
  size: foobar.baz
```

### XML

[](#xml)

```

  Foo
  foo@bar
  foobar.baz

```

Any of the request body below should be send with a header acording to the used type; so RequestInput may parse the sent request body to be used in php.

Frameworks like @Samils should parse it automatically and provide the request body as a property of a '$request' object.

Using it inside a @Samils Controller should be done as bellow:

```
namespace Application\Controller;

class SomeController extends SamiController {
  public function someAction () {
    # $requestBody = params;
    $user = params['user'];
  }
}
```

So, the basical way for using RequestInput should aid you parsing any request body sent to a rest API.
