README

This wrapper can be used to build requests, handle responses and also to create a standard response for a REST API.

Response will contain the following keys:

• success
  • return true if no errors are encountered
• message
  • return a string message which describe the response
• errors
  • return an array containing a detailed list with errors encountered
• data @return mixed
  • return array or string containing relevant data for the response
• meta @return array
  • optional additional info can be returned as an array as key / value pair

Requirements

This package has been build to be used in Laravel, but it doesn't have strong dependencies.

The package assumes the requests are made with lluminate\Support\Facades\Http

Recommendations:

• php >= 7.3
• laravel/framework >= 8.0

Install

Require the package using composer:

  composer require tripsy/api-wrapper

Examples

Output response

use Tripsy\ApiWrapper\ApiWrapper;

function index(ApiWrapper $apiWrapper): JsonResponse 
{
    $results = [];

    $apiWrapper->success(true);
    $apiWrapper->message(__('message.success'));
    $apiWrapper->data([
        'results' => $results,
        'count' => count($results),
    ]);

    return response()->json($apiWrapper->resultArray(), Response::HTTP_OK);
}

POST request

use Tripsy\ApiWrapper\ApiWrapper;

function store(ApiWrapper $apiWrapper): string
{
    $apiWrapper->requestMethod('POST');
    $apiWrapper->requestUrl('https://request.url');

    $validate = true;

    if ($validate === false) {
        // the next line of code is not mandatory
        // by default value for `success` is false anyway
        $apiWrapper->success(false);

        $apiWrapper->message(__('message.error'));

        $apiWrapper->errors([
            'Sample error',
            'Another sample error',
        ]);

        $apiWrapper->pushMeta('source', 'my_method');
        $apiWrapper->pushMeta('reference', 'my_app');
    } else {
        $apiWrapper->requestParams([
            'name' => 'John',
            'age' => '34',
            'gender' => 'male',
        ]);

        $apiWrapper->requestHeaders('X_FORWARDED_FOR', '127.0.0.1');

        $apiWrapper->makeRequest(function () use ($apiWrapper) {
            return Http::asForm()
                ->withHeaders($apiWrapper->requestHeaders())
                ->withOptions([
                    'verify' => true,
                ])
                ->timeout(120)
                ->post($apiWrapper->requestUrl(), $apiWrapper->requestParams());
        });

        // `success` will be set as true within `makeRequest` to reflect if the API response status code was between 200 & 300
        if ($apiWrapper->success() === true) {
            $apiWrapper->data(json_decode($apiWrapper->data(), true));

            //handle `result`
            switch ($apiWrapper->getData('result')) {
                case 'success':
                    $apiWrapper->pushMeta('happy', 'yes');
                    break;
                case 'failed':
                    // since the API request was a success but didn't returned the expected result
                    $apiWrapper->success(false);

                    $apiWrapper->pushMeta('happy', 'no');

                    $apiWrapper->message(__('message.failed'));
                    break;
                default:
                    $apiWrapper->pushMeta('happy', '?');

                    $apiWrapper->success(false);
                    $apiWrapper->message(__('message.result_not_defined'));
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

    return $apiWrapper->resultJson();
}

Another POST request

    //$apiWrapper->debug(true);
    $apiWrapper->makeRequest(function () use ($apiWrapper) {

            ->withHeaders($apiWrapper->requestHeaders())
            ->withOptions([
                'verify' => true,
            ])
            ->post($apiWrapper->requestUrl(), $apiWrapper->requestParams());
    });

    $responseType = $apiWrapper->getMeta('responseType');

    if (config('app.env') == 'production') {
        if ($responseType == 'hidden') {
            return [];
        }
    }

    return $apiWrapper->resultArray();
}

GET request

use Tripsy\ApiWrapper\ApiWrapper;

function query(ApiWrapper $apiWrapper): array
{
    $ipAddress = '192.168.0.1';

    $apiWrapper->requestMethod('GET');
    $apiWrapper->requestUrl('https://request.url/location/'.urlencode($ipAddress));
    $apiWrapper->requestHeaders('Accept', 'application/json');
