Pyramid HTTP

Piramit HTTP is a PHP package that simplifies the process of handling HTTP requests and responses in web applications. It provides an intuitive API for making HTTP requests, managing responses, and handling errors. This package is designed for developers who want to streamline their work with HTTP in PHP.

Installation

You can install the package using Composer. Run the following command in your project’s root directory:

This will download and install the latest version of vendor/piramit/http into your directory.

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Composer
• A web server like Apache or Nginx (for web applications)

Usage

1. Sending HTTP Requests

Piramit HTTP provides an easy-to-use interface for sending HTTP requests. You can use it to make GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and other types of requests.

Example: Sending a GET Request

Explanation:

• This example demonstrates how to send a simple GET request to an API endpoint.
• We instantiate a new Request object, then use the get() method to request data from https://api.example.com/data.
• The response body is accessed using $response->getBody() and printed to the console.

Example: Sending a POST Request

Explanation:

• This example demonstrates how to send a POST request with JSON data. The post() method is used to send data to the https://api.example.com/submit endpoint.
• The JSON data (name and email) is included in the request body. The status code and response body are then printed out using $response->getStatusCode() and $response->getBody().

2. Handling Responses

You can easily work with the response object returned from the HTTP request. The Response object provides methods for retrieving status codes, headers, and the response body.

Example: Checking the Status Code

Explanation:

• This example shows how to handle the response based on its status code.
• We send a GET request, then check if the status code is 200 (successful).

• If successful, we print "Request was successful!" Otherwise, we print the actual status code to help with debugging.

• Example: Getting Response Headers

Explanation:

• In this example, we retrieve the headers from the response object using the getHeaders() method.
• This can be useful for inspecting additional information about the response, such as Content-Type or Authorization headers.

3. Error Handling

Piramit HTTP also provides error handling mechanisms, allowing you to easily manage failed requests or unexpected situations.

Example: Catching Exceptions

Explanation:

• This example demonstrates how to handle errors during HTTP requests.
• If the request fails or there is an issue, a RequestException is thrown.
• The catch block catches the exception and prints the error message, which can help identify the issue (e.g., network issues or invalid responses).

Features

• Simple API: An easy-to-use API for making HTTP requests.
• Support for All HTTP Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and more.
• Request and Response Handling: Easily work with HTTP requests and responses, including headers and bodies.
• Error Handling: Gracefully handle errors and failed requests.
• Custom Headers: Add custom headers to your requests for authentication or other purposes.
• JSON Support: Easily send and receive JSON data.

Example: Full Example of Using Piramit HTTP

Explanation:

• In this full example, we first send a GET request and check if the response status is 200. If successful, we decode the JSON data and print it.
• Then, we send a POST request with a JSON payload (name and email). The status of both requests is checked and appropriate messages are printed.

Configuration

There are no complex configurations needed for this package, but you can extend its functionality by adding custom middleware or configuring custom headers for your requests.

Example: Adding Custom Headers

Explanation:

• This example demonstrates how to add custom headers to your requests, such as an Authorization header.
• The Authorization header is often used for token-based authentication, where YOUR_API_TOKEN would be replaced with a real token.
