FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

How to use

Creating a Request

Depending on your intent, all you need is the URL and the body if required:

Request provides a static method for each of the HTTP methods: HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, OPTIONS, DELETE.

Setting Request Headers

Additional headers for the request can be set like this:

The Request Body

By default, Request assumes your body needs to be of application\json type. As such, the implementation already knows how to build a JSON encoding and you can pass an object or array for your body. Request will automatically stringify. Same is valid for application/x-www-form-urlencoded content. However, you will need to set the Content-Type header accordingly:

Executing

Once you configured your request, you can simply execute it:

The execute call takes an optional argument - the number of seconds until the call times out. The default timeout is 5 seconds. The method will return latest after this time and give you a Response object.

The Response

The response object returns everything you need to know about the result of your call:

The getBody() method returns objects when the server returned a JSON-encoded body. Otherwise, you will get the raw body by this method too.

Defining Default Request Headers

It can be very exhausting to set the same request headers for each individual request over and over again. That's why you can define default headers:

The headers will be available for each request to www.example.com. However, you can override headers for individual requests if required. Just set the header on the request object.

Executing Requests Simultaneously

One strength of the library is the ability to perform multiple requests at the same time:

Please notice that the Response objects cannot be used before you called the run() method on the client.

The run() method again can take a timeout in seconds (which defaults to 5). It also returns an array of the Response objects in the order of how you added them to the client. That means, the first response belongs to the very first request you added, the seconds response to the second request you added, and so on.

You can also ask the Response object which Request it was executing:

Developer Remark

The PHP Unit test will require a gorest.co.in API token. Most tests will not be executed without this token stored in environment variable GOREST_TOKEN.
