``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` // Namespace shortcut use sylouuu\Curl\Method as Curl; // Template $request = new Curl\( string $url [, array $options ] ); ``` Methods are: - `Get()` - `Head()` - `Options()` - `Post()` - `Put()` - `Patch()` - `Delete()` ### Constructor `$options` [](#constructor-options) ``` [ 'data' => [ // Data to send, available for `Post`, `Put` and `Patch` 'foo' => 'bar' ], 'headers' => [ // Additional headers (optional) 'Authorization: foobar' ], 'ssl' => '/cacert.pem', // Use it for SSL (optional) 'is_payload' => true, // `true` for sending a payload (JSON-encoded data, optional) 'autoclose' => true // Is the request must be automatically closed (optional) ] ``` ### Public methods [](#public-methods) ``` // Send a request $request->send(); // HTTP status code $request->getStatus(); // HTTP header $request->getHeader(); // HTTP body response $request->getResponse(); // Used cURL options $request->getCurlOptions(); // Set a cURL option $request->setCurlOption(CURLOPT_SOMETHING, $value); // Manually close the handle (necessary when `autoclose => false` is used) $request->close(); ``` ### Examples [](#examples) Basic: ``` // Namespace shortcut use sylouuu\Curl\Method as Curl; // Standard GET request $request = new Curl\Get('http://domain.com'); // Send this request $request->send(); echo $request->getResponse(); // body response echo $request->getStatus(); // HTTP status code ``` Send a payload: ``` // Namespace shortcut use sylouuu\Curl\Method as Curl; // JSON-encoded POST request $request = new Curl\Post($this->endpoint, [ 'data' => [ 'name' => 'foo', 'email' => 'foo@domain.com' ], // With 'is_payload' => true // You don't have to json_encode() your array of data // Moreover, the appropriate headers will be set for you 'is_payload' => true ]); // Send this request $request->send(); echo $request->getResponse(); // body response echo $request->getStatus(); // HTTP status code ``` Manual closing: ``` // Namespace shortcut use sylouuu\Curl\Method as Curl; // Set `autoclose` option to `false` $request = new Curl\Get('http://domain.com', [ 'autoclose' => false ]); // Send this request $request->send(); // Now you can retrieve a cURL info as the handle is still open $request->getCurlInfo(CURLINFO_SOMETHING); echo $request->getResponse(); // Manually close the handle $request->close(); ``` Tests ----- [](#tests) On project directory: - `composer install` to retrieve `phpunit` - `phpunit` to run tests Changelog --------- [](#changelog) 2015-08-25 - **0.8.1** - fixed invalid content-length in case of no data provided 2015-07-03 - **0.8.0** - added `is_payload` option to perform a request with JSON-encoded data - fixed `ssl` option 2014-10-23 - **0.7.1** - fixed `Post()` which didn't send data in some cases 2014-08-01 - **0.7.0** (BC break) - moved from psr-0 autoload to psr-4 - added `Method` directory, then methods are now in `\sylouuu\Curl\Method\` 2014-05-30 - **0.6.1** - removed exception when `data` option is not specified for `Post` `Put` and `Patch` 2014-05-22 - **0.6.0** (BC break) - moved `url` option to the first constructor parameter 2014-05-20 - **0.5.0** (BC break) - renamed repository from `php-rest-client` to `php-curl` - refactored all code - added `autoclose` option - added the way to get/set cURL options - added the way to get cURL info - sources are now psr-2 compliant 2014-05-13 - **0.4.0** (BC break) - renamed `RESTClient.class.php` to `RESTClient.php` - moved `RESTClient.php` to `/src` - moved `RESTClientTest.php` to `/tests` - added `HEAD`, `OPTIONS` and `PATCH` support - added `getHeader` method - renamed `getJSON` to `getResponse` - removed JSON validation - added `sylouuu` namespace - removed `gulp` 2014-05-09 - **0.3.0** - added `ssl` option 2014-04-06 - **0.2.1** - added exception if invalid JSON format returned 2014-04-04 - **0.2.0** - new way to retrieve result - added HTTP status code 2014-04-01 - **0.1.0** - refactored class - removed constructor parameter - added unit tests 2014-03-24 - **0.0.2** - added `$api_url` as a constructor parameter 2014-02-05 - **0.0.1** - Initial release ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 77% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity37 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity55 Maturing project, gaining track record How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
