JSON API Client for Laravel and Lumen. It's basically just a [Guzzle](https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle) wrapper for JSON, because Guzzle [does not care](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30530172/guzzle-6-no-more-json-method-for-responses) about JSON anymore. And you can configure your endpoints once and for all in a [configuration file](https://github.com/rap2hpoutre/jacky/blob/master/src/config.php), could be useful if you work with different services.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install via composer

```
composer require rap2hpoutre/jacky

```

Add Service Provider to `config/app.php` in `providers` section

```
Rap2hpoutre\Jacky\ServiceProvider::class,
```

Then add the facade in `aliases` section (optional)

```
'Jacky' => Rap2hpoutre\Jacky\Facade::class,
```

Publish configuration

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Simple example

[](#simple-example)

Let's say foo API returns this on `GET /users/1`:

```
{
  "data": [{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com"
  }]
}
```

You may get the user like this:

```
$user_name = Jacky::get('foo', '/users/1')->data->first()->name;
```

### Not found example

[](#not-found-example)

Let's say foo API returns this on `GET /users/2` not found:

```
{
  "errors": [{
    "status": "404",
    "title":  "User not found :/"
  }]
}
```

You may display error title like this:

```
use Rap2hpoutre\Jacky\Exception\Http404Exception;

try {
    $user = Jacky::get('foo', '/users/1');
} catch (Http404Exception $e) {
    echo $e->errors->first()->title;
}
```
