library to send HTTP requests and retrieve response object

Instalation

To use library in another project write in console:
composer install
composer require kkedzierski/rest-api-client

Usage

After instalation composer requirements to use library at the top of file write

use RestApiClient\RestApiClient;
require_once __DIR__ . './vendor/autoload.php';

And create instance of class with base URI

ex.

$RAC = new RestApiClient("https://api.github.com");

To add to header use addToHeader method,method take two parameters Type and Value

ex.

$rac->addToHeader("User-Agent", "Test REST API Client");

To add additonal parmeters like gets or header create array and add this array as an argument to request methods

ex. array:

$additonalParamArr = [
    "header" => 
        ["User-Agent: Test REST API Client", 
        "Authorization: token api_token"]
];

To make HTTP Request use methods get, post, put, patch, delete

ex.

$response = $RAC->get('/user/repos');

To specify endpoint to GET PUT PATCH or DELETE method you can use parametr value argument

ex.

$response = $RAC->get('/user/:id/repos', 123);

GET method parameters

• string $resource must start with "/" ex. /products or /products/:id
• string|int $parameterValue parametr required if is specific in resource , default = ''
• array|null $additionalField ex. header, default = null

POST method parameters

• string $resource must start with "/" ex. /products or /products/:id
• array $postData data to send
• array|null $additionalField ex. header, default = null

PUT and PATCH methods parameters

DELETE method parameters

• string $resource must start with "/" ex. /products or /products/:id
