HttpRequestor from Patienceman

HTTP Requestor: Package for a client request that supports you to make an external service request easily and with fast usage.

Installation

Installing the package doesn't require much requirement except to paste the following command in the laravel terminal, and you're good to go.

  composer require patienceman/httprequestor

Usage

To use HTTP Requestor u need to call HttpRequest class, But before everything you need to publish the config file for "HTTP requestor", Just run!

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=HttpConfigs

Let's take the example with it and see the simplicity

  $http = HttpRequest::server('https://commandement.com');

So!, now you can make requests with all standard methods. There are two ways this package is useful, by requesting an access token to the server or by sending a normal request

let's take the example of requesting access token

  $http = HttpRequest::server('https://commandement.com');

  $http->buildHttpQuery([
      'grant_type' => 'client_credentials',
      'client_id' => config('services.custom.client_id'),
      'client_secret' => config('services.custom.client_secret'),
      'scope' => config('services.custom.scope)
  ]);

  return $http->requestToken('/oauth/token');

So now we are able to request an access tokens.

Let also take the example of a normally api request with standard HTTP methods

  $http = HttpRequest::server('https://commandement.com');

  $http->withHeaders([
      'Authorization' => $accessToken,
      'Accept' => 'application/json',
  ]);
  
  $http->withData([
    'name' => 'moses',
    'location' => 'mountain-sinai',
    'command' => 'navigate islaels'
  ]);
  
  $http->request('POST', '/api/sync-movement')

  return $http->then(function($response, $error) {
      return $response->last_update_at;
  });

Fantastic right! and super cool!

So now on Moses are able to make a super request to our commandment server!,

This package also contains the HttpResponse Helper class, which support your JSON response to remove all null value, on the go! To use it, u need just one class bash HttpResponse

let's take an example with it and see how it works!

  function httpJsonResponse(?string $message, $data = null, array $with, int $code = 200): JsonResponse {
      $response = HttpResponse::create(array_merge([
          'success' => ($code > 199 && $code < 300) ? true : false,
          'data' => $data,
          'message' => $message
      ], $with));

      return response()->json($response->extract(), $code);
  }

And whenever one of the passed parameters is null, the HttpResponse deletes it from the parameters, soon or later we're going to another way of making it optional.
