Extension conversion of 'Httpful' to yii2 extension
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Since it is not published on packages.org needs to be installed manually using composer add to your composer.json
"repositories":[
{
"type": "git",
"url": "https://path.to/your/repo"
}
]
since the file is local the 'url' should be "url" : "file:///path_to_your_file"Either run
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist segpacto/yii2-httpfull "*"
or add
"segpacto/yii2-httpfull": "*"
to the require section of your composer.json file.
Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your code by :
// Make a request to the GitHub API with a custom
// header of "X-Trvial-Header: Just as a demo".
$url = "https://api.github.com/users/nategood";
$response = \HttpFull\Request::get($url)
->expectsJson()
->withXTrivialHeader('Just as a demo')
->send();
echo "{$response->body->name} joined GitHub on " .
date('M jS', strtotime($response->body->created_at)) ."\n";Ex 1: Send off a GET request. Get automatically parsed JSON response. The library notices the JSON Content-Type in the response and automatically parses the response into a native PHP object.
$uri = "https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/mqlread?query=%7B%22type%22:%22/music/artist%22%2C%22name%22:%22The%20Dead%20Weather%22%2C%22album%22:%5B%5D%7D";
$response = \HttpFull\Request::get($uri)->send();
echo 'The Dead Weather has ' . count($response->body->result->album) . " albums.\n";Ex 2:
$uri = 'https://example.net/person.xml';
$response = \HttpFull\Request::get($uri)
->expectsXml()
->send();
echo "Name: $response->body->name";Note : This is based on the package shared by nategood. This is only a conversion to use as Yii2 extension. For further explanation and documentation of the package go directly their documentation.
