lib-rest-client-common

Generic library for RESTful API clients

Usage

You should create ClientFactory class, which extends ClientFactoryAbstract. In ClientFactory you can override any parent configuration if needed.

Simple example of ClientFactory:

class TestClientFactory extends ClientFactoryAbstract
{
    const DEFAULT_BASE_URL = 'http://example.com/test/rest/v1/{locale}/';
    
    private $apiClient;

    public function __construct(array $options)
    {
        $this->apiClient = $this->createApiClient($options);
    }

    public function getTestClient()
    {
        return new TestClient($this->apiClient);
    }
}

Using this pattern you can reuse same ApiClient with it's authentication and other options in different APIs.

In addition to ClientFactory, you should create also the Client itself. Finally you will use the Client itself, so it should contain all the methods your API provides.

Simple example of TestClient:

class TestClient
{
    private $apiClient;

    public function __construct(ApiClient $apiClient)
    {
        $this->apiClient = $apiClient;
    }
    
    public function withOptions(array $options)
    {
        return new TestClient($this->apiClient->withOptions($options));
    }

    /**
     * @return array
     */
    public function getSomething()
    {
        $request = $this->apiClient->createRequest(
            RequestMethodInterface::METHOD_GET,
            sprintf('/something'),
            null
        );
        return $this->apiClient->makeRequest($request);
    }
}

You should implement mapping or data transformation where applicable in TestClient methods.

Example:

use Paysera\Client\CategoryClient\ClientFactory;

$clientFactory = new ClientFactory([
    'base_url' => 'custom base url',
    'auth_base_url' => 'custom auth base url',
    'basic' => [
        'username' => 'user',
        'password' => 'pass'
    ],
    'oauth' => [
        'token' => [
            'access_token' => 'your oauth access token',
            'refresh_token' => 'your oauth refresh token',
        ],
    ],
    'mac' => [
        'mac_id' => 'mac id',
        'mac_secret' => 'mac secret',
        'parameters' => [
            // list of needed parameters
        ]
    ],
    'url_parameters' => [
        'locale' => 'en',
        // list of base_url placeholder parameter values
    ],
    'headers' => [
        'Accept-Language' => 'en',
    ],
    // other configuration options
]);

$testClient = $clientFactory->getTestClient();
$data = $testClient->getSomething();

• Please note that only single authentication mechanism is supported.

In case you want to change some configuration options at runtime, use TestClient::withOptions():

$factory = new TestClientFactory([
    MacAuthentication::TYPE => [
        'mac_id' => $macId,
        'mac_secret' => $macSecret,
        'parameters' => [
            'user_id' => 100,
        ]
    ]
]);

$client = $factory->getTestClient();

$client2 = $factory->getTestClient()->withOptions([
    MacAuthentication::TYPE => [
        'parameters' => ['user_id' => 999],
    ]
]);

Here for $client2 only user_id in parameters will be changed. Other configuration, like mac_id, mac_secret will be left intact.
