A simple PHP package that is used to create different Http Auth Headers.

This is a simple to use library, to install - all you need to do is:

$ composer require juststeveking/http-auth-strategies

Then to use the library all you need to do is:

$strategy = new BasicStrategy( base64_encode("username:password") ); // Get the Auth header as an array - passing through the required Authorization prefix $strategy->getHeader('Bearer'); // ['Authorization' => 'Bearer dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=']

There is also a NullStrategy for when you want to follow a consistent pattern, but do not want to actually use any auth:

$strategy = new NullStrategy(); // Get the Auth header as an array - passing through the required Authorization prefix $strategy->getHeader('Bearer'); // []

You can now also create your own custom header using the CustomStrategy, for when an API requires something specific that doesn't follow the typical pattern:

$strategy = new CustomStrategy( 'your-api-key' ); $strategy->setHeaderName('X-API-KEY'); // Get the Auth header as an array - passing through the required Authorization prefix $strategy->getHeader('Bearer'); // ['X-API-KEY' => 'Bearer your-api-key']
