Install

[](#install)

```
composer require wimski/curl
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Wimski\Curl\CurlResourceFactory;

$curlResourceFactory = new CurlResourceFactory();

$curlResource = $curlResourceFactory->make('https://some-webserver.com/resource-to-request');

$response = $curlResource
    ->setOption(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true)
    ->execute();

$curlResource->close();
```

Ideally you would set up a singleton binding for the factory in your framework's container and use DI.

```
use Wimski\Curl\Contracts\CurlResourceFactoryInterface;

class MyClass
{
    public function __construct(
        protected CurlResourceFactoryInterface $curlResourceFactory,
    ) {
    }

    public function getData(): string
    {
        $curlResource = $this->curlResourceFactory->make('https://some-webserver.com/resource-to-request');

        $response = $curlResource
            ->setOption(CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true)
            ->execute();

        $curlResource->close();

        return $response;
    }
}
```
