composer require adampatterson/request

Usage

use Request\Request;

// Get a value from the request (checks $_GET first, then $_POST)
$name = Request::get('name');

// Get a value with a default fallback
$page = Request::get('page', 1);

// Get all GET parameters
$query = Request::all('GET');

// Get all POST parameters
$post = Request::all('POST');

// Check if a query parameter exists
if (Request::has('search')) {
    // ...
}

// Get request information
$method    = Request::method();    // GET, POST, etc.
$ip        = Request::ip();        // Client IP
$userAgent = Request::userAgent(); // Browser User Agent
$uri       = Request::uri();       // Full request URI
$root      = Request::root();      // Root URL

Method Proxying

The Request class proxies unknown method calls to the underlying Symfony HTTP Foundation Request instance. This allows you to use any method provided by Symfony's Request object.

use Request\Request;

// getPathInfo() is a Symfony Request method
$path = Request::getPathInfo();

// You can also access the underlying Symfony Request instance directly
$symfonyRequest = Request::instance();

Tests

composer install
composer test

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/Request/ ./vendor/adampatterson/request

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

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