README

A lightweight Laravel package that helps you manage, organize, and retrieve custom HTTP headers using Laravel's configuration and .env setup for third-party API requests, whether for development or production. Instead of hardcoding headers in each request, centralize them in configuration and access them with a clean, simple interface.

Features

• Clean separation of logic and configuration.

• Supports .env dynamic values (secure for production use).

• Compatible with Laravel 12.x and PHP 8.0+.

• Can be used with Laravel's HTTP client or Guzzle.

• Ready for development and production use.

Requirements

• Laravel 10 / 11 / 12

• PHP 8.0+

Installation

1. Require the package via Composer

composer require ayoub-amzil/header-harmony

2. Publish the configuration file

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=header-harmony-config

This will publish the config file to: config/header-harmony.php

Usage/Examples

1. Define services and headers in the config file

Edit the config/header-harmony.php file:

'openai' => [
    'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . env('OPENAI_KEY'),
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
],
'coinmarketcap' => [
    'X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY' => env('COINMARKETCAP_KEY'),
    'Accept' => 'application/json',
],
'weatherapi' => [
    'key' => env('WEATHER_API_KEY'),
    'Accept' => 'application/json',
],
'test' => [
    'Authorization' => env('TEST'),
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
],

2. Add your API keys to the .env file

OPENAI_KEY=sk-xxxxx
COINMARKETCAP_KEY=ghp_xxxxxx
WEATHER_API_KEY=abc123
TEST=####

3. You're now ready to use the package!

Use it anywhere in your Laravel app like:

use HeaderHarmony\HeaderHarmony;

$headers = HeaderHarmony::for('openai');

Error Handling

The for($service) method will throw an exception if:

• The service name is not defined in config/header-harmony.php
