# Reflect API client for PHP
|
|
|
|
Make requests to an API built using the Reflect API framework over HTTP or UNIX sockets. This program comes with both an extendable/instantiable class that you can integrate with existing PHP code, or as a stand-alone CLI which can be piped into other programs.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Make a request with `Client->call()`. It will return the response as an array of length 2.
|
|
- The first value is the HTTP-equivalent response code.
|
|
- The second value is the response body
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$client = new Reflect\Client("<API URL or path to UNIX socket>");
|
|
|
|
$client->call("foo", Method::GET); // (array) [200, "bar"]
|
|
$client->call("foo", Method::POST, [
|
|
"foo" => "bar"
|
|
]); // (array) [201, "Created"]
|
|
|
|
// etc..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
Requires PHP 8.1 or newer, and of course an instance of the [Reflect socket server](https://github.com/VictorWesterlund/reflect/wiki/UNIX-Sockets) running on the same machine.
|
|
|
|
1. **Install with composer**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
composer require reflect/client
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Initialize the class**
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
require_once "/vendor/autoload.php";
|
|
|
|
$client = new Reflect\Client("<API URL or path to UNIX socket>");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Make API request**
|
|
|
|
Use the `call()` method to perform a request
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
$client->call("foo?bar=baz", Method::GET);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Argument index|Type|Required|Description
|
|
--|--|--|--
|
|
0|String|Yes|Fully qualified pathname and query params of the endpoint to call
|
|
1|Method|Yes|A supported [Reflect HTTP method](https://github.com/VictorWesterlund/reflect/wiki/Supported-technologies#http-request-methods) (eg. `Method::GET`)
|
|
2|Array|No|An optional indexed, associative, or multidimensional array that will be sent as the request body as `Content-Type: application/json`
|
|
|
|
The `call()` function will return an array of length 2 wil the following information
|
|
|
|
Index|Type|Description
|
|
--|--|--
|
|
0|Int|HTTP-equivalent response code (eg. `200` or `404`)
|
|
1|String/Array|Contains the response body as either a string, or array if the response `Content-Type` header is `application/json`
|
|
|
|
## How to use (CLI)
|
|
|
|
You can also run this from the command line with
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
php client <socket_file> <endpoint> <http_method> [payload]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and it will return a serialized JSON array with the same structure as described in the `Client->call()` return.
|
|
|
|
*Example*
|
|
```sh
|
|
php client "/run/reflect.sock" "foo?bar=biz" "POST" "[\"foo\" => \"bar\"]" # (string) [201, \"Created\"]
|
|
```
