Curl
====

[](#curl)

1-1 class mapping of the cURL library so it can be mocked / stubbed

Sometimes, you just want to use cURL and not some abstracted class like guzzle. This is a simple wrapper for cURL so you can do that and still write meaningful tests.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

```
class SomeClassThatUsesCurl {

   protected $curl;

   public function __construct(WillWashburn\Curl $curl) {

       $this->curl = $curl;

   }

   public function someMethodThatMakesARequest() {

       // Use curl like normal but also be able to test!
       $ch = $this->curl->curl_init($url);
       $this->curl->curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

   }

}
```

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Use composer

`composer require willwashburn/curl`

Alternatively, add `"willwashburn/curl": "1.0"` to your composer.json
