Usage

Basic Usage

use Http\Http;
use GuzzleHttp\Cookie\CookieJar;

// GET request
$response = Http::get('https://example.com/api/users');

// POST request with JSON
$response = Http::asJson()->post('https://example.com/api/users', ['name' => 'John']);

// POST request with form parameters
$response = Http::asFormParams()->post('https://example.com/api/users', ['name' => 'John']);

// Request with custom headers
$response = Http::withHeaders(['X-Custom' => 'value'])->get('https://example.com/api/users');

// Request with Bearer token
$response = Http::withToken('your-token')->get('https://example.com/api/users');

// Request with simple cookie array (domain required for direct array conversion)
$response = Http::withCookies(['session_id' => 'abc123'], 'example.com')
    ->get('https://example.com/api/users');

// Request with a reusable Guzzle cookie jar
$jar = CookieJar::fromArray(['session_id' => 'abc123'], 'example.com');
$response = Http::withCookieJar($jar)->get('https://example.com/api/users');

Response Helpers

The HttpResponse object provides several helpers to inspect the response:

use Http\Http;

// GET request
$response = Http::get('https://example.com/api/users');

$response->status();  // Get status code (int)
$response->body();    // Get raw body (string)
$response->array();   // Get JSON decoded body (array)
$response->object();  // Get JSON decoded body (object)
$response->collect(); // Get JSON decoded body (Collection)
$response->header('Content-Type'); // Get specific header
$response->headers(); // Get all headers

$response->isSuccess();     // 200-299
$response->isOk();          // Alias for isSuccess
$response->isRedirect();    // 300-399
$response->isClientError(); // 400-499
$response->isServerError(); // 500+

Method Proxying

If you need to access a method on the underlying Guzzle response that is not explicitly defined in HttpResponse, it will be automatically proxied:

// getProtocolVersion() is not defined in HttpResponse, 
// so it is proxied to GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response
$version = $response->getProtocolVersion(); 

Request/Response Flow

At a high level, the package separates request building from response consumption:

• The Http facade forwards static calls to MakeHttpRequest.
• MakeHttpRequest collects fluent configuration (asJson, withHeaders, withToken, withCookies, etc.) and verb payload options.
• send() merges options, parses query params from the URL, executes the Guzzle request, and captures transfer stats.
• The raw PSR-7 response is wrapped in HttpResponse.
• HttpResponse exposes helper methods (body, json, status, etc.) and proxies unknown methods to Guzzle.

This flow keeps transport concerns in MakeHttpRequest and read helpers in HttpResponse.

Tests

composer install
composer test

Code Coverage

To run tests with code coverage, ensure you have Xdebug installed and run:

composer test-coverage

Local Dev

Without needing to modify the composer.json file. Run from the theme root, this will symlink the package into the theme's vendor directory.

ln -s ~/Sites/packages/http/ ./vendor/adampatterson/http

Otherwise, you can add the local package to your composer.json file.

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "path",
      "url": "/Sites/packages/http"
    }
  ]
}
