A [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/) wrapper for the [WordPress HTTP API](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/http-api/).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Psr\Http\Client\ClientExceptionInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestFactoryInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseFactoryInterface;
use WpOop\HttpClient\Client;

/** @var RequestFactoryInterface $requestFactory */
/** @var ResponseFactoryInterface $responseFactory */

// Set up the client with WP request options
// https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_http/request/
$client = new Client(
    // Default args to WP_Http::request()
    [
        'redirection' => 2,
        'timeout' => 60,
    ],
    $responseFactory,
    // Path to proxy file dir to enable response streaming.
    // If null, will buffer in memory instead.
    get_temp_dir()
);

// Create a PSR-7 request in any way you want, for example via a PSR-17 factory
$request = $requestFactory->createRequest('GET', 'http://somesite.com/api');

try {
    // Send a request as usual, consuming a familiar PSR-18 interface
    $response = $client->sendRequest($request);
} catch (ClientExceptionInterface $e) {
    // Handle PSR-18 exceptions
}
```

Since this is a [PSR-18](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-18/)-compliant implementation, you can consume it in the way you would any other.

To set it up, pass a map of WP request options, and a [PSR-17](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-17/) response factory. This approach facilitates decoupling from any concrete [PSR-7](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/) implementation.

You can use any [PSR-17 implementation](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-factory-implementation) or [PSR-7 implementations](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-message-implementation). I suggest the slim and efficient [nyholm/psr7](https://packagist.org/packages/nyholm/psr7), which conveniently implements both.

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

Currently only throws [`ClientExceptionInterface`](https://github.com/php-fig/http-client/blob/master/src/ClientExceptionInterface.php), as it is unable to reliably determine whether a network or another specific kind of problem has occurred from the error value returned by [`wp_remote_request()`](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_remote_request/).
