Guzzlelib

Guzzlelib is a PHP wrapper library for Guzzle HTTP client, providing a simplified interface for making HTTP requests. It offers an easy-to-use API for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests, with built-in error handling and response parsing.

This library can be used with PHP 7.2+ and is compatible with popular PHP frameworks, including Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, Zend, Yii, CakePHP, and Slim. It's ideal for any PHP application that requires streamlined API communication.

Requirements

PHP 7.2 or higher
Composer (for dependency management)
Guzzle HTTP client

Installation

You can install Guzzlelib using Composer. Run the following command in your project directory:

composer require joshuaify/guzzlelib

Usage

Initialization

First, include the Guzzlelib class in your PHP file:

use joshuaify\API\Guzzlelib;

require 'path/to/your/vendor/joshuaify/guzzlelib/src/Guzzlelib.php';

Then, create an instance of Guzzlelib:

$guzzlelib = new Guzzlelib([
    'base_uri' => 'https://api.example.com',
    'timeout' => 30.0,
    'headers' => [
        'Authorization' => 'Bearer your-token-here'
    ]
]);

Making Requests

GET Request

$response = $guzzlelib->getRequest('/users', ['page' => 1]);

POST Request

$response = $guzzlelib->postRequest('/users', [
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => 'john@example.com'
]);

PUT Request

$response = $guzzlelib->putRequest('/users/1', [
    'name' => 'Jane Doe'
]);

PATCH Request

$response = $guzzlelib->patchRequest('/users/1', [
    'email' => 'jane@example.com'
]);

DELETE Request

$response = $guzzlelib->deleteRequest('/users/1');

Handling Responses

All request methods return an array with two keys: code and body.

code: The HTTP status code of the response.
body: The decoded JSON body of the response.

Example:

$response = $guzzlelib->getRequest('/users');

if ($response['code'] === 200) {
    $users = $response['body'];
    // Process $users data
} else {
    // Handle error
    echo "Error: " . json_encode($response['body']);
}

Error Handling

If a request fails, Guzzlelib will return an array with an error key set to true and a message describing the error.

$response = $guzzlelib->getRequest('/non-existent-endpoint');

if (isset($response['error']) && $response['error'] === true) {
    echo "Error occurred: " . $response['message'];
}

Configuration Options

When initializing Guzzlelib, you can pass an array of configuration options:

base_uri: The base URL for all requests.
timeout: The timeout for requests in seconds.
headers: An array of default headers to be sent with each request.
auth: Authentication method (e.g., ['username', 'password'] for Basic Auth).
proxy: Proxy settings.
verify: SSL certificate verification (set to false to disable).
connect_timeout: The number of seconds to wait while trying to connect to a server.
cookies: Set to true to use a shared cookie session, or provide an instance of GuzzleHttp\Cookie\CookieJarInterface.
allow_redirects: Set to false to disable redirects.
debug: Set to true to enable debug output.
http_errors: Set to false to disable throwing exceptions on HTTP protocol errors (4xx and 5xx responses).
