README

A PHP library for managing HTTP requests using cURL.

📞 Installation

You can install this library via Composer:

composer require flores/request-manager

🚀 Usage

Creating a Request

use Flores\RequestManager\Requests\GetRequest;

$request = new GetRequest('https://yoururl.com/api/resource');
$response = $request->send();

echo $response->getDataString();

Setting Headers

$request->setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer token')
        ->setHeader('Accept', 'application/json');

Setting Authentication

$request->setBearerToken('your_token_here'); // Uses Bearer Token authentication
$request->setAuth('username', 'password');   // Uses Basic Auth

Sending JSON Data (POST)

use Flores\RequestManager\Requests\PostRequest;

$request = new PostRequest('https://yoururl.com/api/resource');
$request->setJsonBody([
    'title' => 'New Post',
    'body' => 'Post content',
    'userId' => 1
]);
$response = $request->send();

echo $response->getData();

Retrieving Response Data

echo $response->getData();       // Returns the processed response (object)
echo $response->getDataString(); // Returns the processed response as JSON String

Getting the Raw cURL Response

If you need the raw response from the cURL request, use getResponse():

echo $response->get(); // Returns the raw response as a string
