The package provides a nice and easy wrapper around Guzzle for use in your Laravel applications. If you don't know what Guzzle does, take a peek at their intro. Shortly said, Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web service.
You may use Composer to install Hermes into your Laravel project:
$ composer require jenky/hermes
After installing Hermes, publish its assets using the vendor:publish
Artisan command.
php artisan vendor:publish
or
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jenky\Hermes\HermesServiceProvider"
After publishing Hermes's assets, its primary configuration file will be located at config/hermes.php
. This configuration file allows you to configure your guzzle client options and each configuration option includes a description of its purpose, so be sure to thoroughly explore this file.
A channel is simply a guzzle http client instance with its own configuration. This allows you to create a http client on the fly and reuse anytime, anywhere you want.
Set guzzle request options within the channel. Please visit Request Options for more information.
'default' => [
'options' => [
'base_uri' => 'https://api.github.com/v3/',
'time_out' => 20,
],
],
Configure guzzle Handler within the channel.
By default, guzzle will choose the most appropriate handler based on the extensions available on your system. However you can override this behavior with handler
option. Optionally, any constructor parameters the handler needs may be specified using the with
configuration option:
'default' => [
'handler' => App\Http\CustomCurlHandler::class,
'with' => [
'delay' => 5,
],
],
An alternative way is set the handler in the options
configuration:
'default' => [
'options' => [
'handler' => App\Http\CustomCurlHandler::create(['delay' => 5]),
],
],
Configure guzzle Middleware within the channel.
'default' => [
'middleware' => [
Jenky\Hermes\Middleware\RequestEvent::class,
],
],
You can read about the middleware in the middleware section.
Do no attempt to resolve container binding implementations such as config, session driver, logger inside the
hermes
config file. This is because those implementations are not yet bound to the container when thehermes
config is loaded.
'middleware' => [
// This won't work properly
GuzzleHttp\Middleware::log(logs(), new GuzzleHttp\MessageFormatter),
],
Instead of using middleware in config, consider customizing the guzzle handler stack if you needs container binding implementations.
Sometimes you may need complete control over how guzzle's HandleStack is configured for an existing channel. For example, you may want to add, remove or unshift a middleware for a given channel's handler stack.
To get started, define a tap
array on the channel's configuration. The tap
array should contain a list of classes that should have an opportunity to customize (or "tap" into) the handle stack instance after it is created:
'default' => [
'tap' => [
App\Http\Client\CustomizeHandlerStack::class,
],
],
Once you have configured the tap
option on your channel, you're ready to define the class that will customize your HandlerStack
instance. This class only needs a single method: __invoke
, which receives an GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack
instance.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Client;
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface;
use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;
use GuzzleHttp\Middleware;
class CustomizeHandlerStack
{
/**
* Customize the given handler stack instance.
*
* @param \GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack $stack
* @return void
*/
public function __invoke(HandlerStack $stack)
{
$stack->before('add_foo', Middleware::mapRequest(function (RequestInterface $request) {
return $request->withHeader('X-Baz', 'Qux');
}, 'add_baz');
}
}
All of your "tap" classes are resolved by the service container, so any constructor dependencies they require will automatically be injected.
"Tap" class can also receive additional parameters. For example, if your handler needs to log the Guzzle request and response by using a specific Laravel logger channel, you could create a LogMiddleware
class that receives a channel name as an additional argument.
Additional parameters will be passed to the class after the $stack
argument:
<?php
namespace App\Support;
use GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack;
use GuzzleHttp\MessageFormatter;
use GuzzleHttp\Middleware;
use Illuminate\Log\LogManager;
class LogMiddleware
{
/**
* The logger manager instance.
*
* @var \Illuminate\Log\LogManager
*/
protected $logger;
/**
* Create new log middleware instance.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Log\LogManager $logger
* @return void
*/
public function __construct(LogManager $logger)
{
$this->logger = $logger;
}
/**
* Customize the given handle stack instance.
*
* @param \GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack $stack
* @return void
*/
public function __invoke(HandlerStack $stack, ?string $channel = null, string $level = 'debug')
{
$stack->push(Middleware::log(
$this->logger->channel($channel), new MessageFormatter, $level
));
}
}
"Tap" class parameters may be specified in hermes
config by separating the class name and parameters with a :
. Multiple parameters should be delimited by commas:
'default' => [
'tap' => [
App\Http\Client\LogMiddleware::class.':slack',
],
],
This middleware will fire Jenky\Hermes\Events\RequestHandled
event when a request had been fulfilled. It has these properties:
/**
* The request instance.
*
* @var \Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
*/
public $request;
/**
* The response instance.
*
* @var \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface|null
*/
public $response;
/**
* The request options.
*
* @var array
*/
public $options;
When sending the request, GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response
will be used as the default response handler. However you can configure the request options to use your own response handler. Please note that response handler must be an instance of Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
'default' => [
'driver' => 'guzzle',
'options' => [
'base_uri' => 'https://httpbin.org/',
// ...
'response_handler' => Jenky\Hermes\JsonResponse::class,
],
'middleware' => [
Jenky\Hermes\Middleware\ResponseHandler::class,
// ...
],
],
json
driver will automatically useJenky\Hermes\Middleware\ResponseHandler
middleware and set the defaultresponse_handler
toJenky\Hermes\JsonResponse
Now your HTTP request will returns an instance of Jenky\Hermes\JsonResponse
instead of GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response
which provides a variety of methods that may be used to inspect the response:
$response->isSuccessful(): bool;
$response->isError(): bool;
$response->isInformational(): bool;
$response->isRedirect(): bool;
$response->isClientError(): bool;
$response->isServerError(): bool;
$response->ok(): bool;
$response->created(): bool;
$response->badRequest(): bool;
$response->unauthorized(): bool;
$response->forbidden(): bool;
$response->notFound(): bool;
$response->unprocessable(): bool;
$response->serverError(): bool;
$response->header(?string $header = null, $default = null): mixed;
$response->status($code = null);
$response->body(): string;
$response->toArray(): array;
$response->toJson(): string;
$response->exists($key): bool;
$response->get($key, $default = null): mixed;
The Jenky\Hermes\JsonResponse
object also implements the PHP ArrayAccess
interface and support magic __get
method, allowing you to access JSON response data directly on the response:
$response['name'];
// or
$response->name;
use Jenky\Hermes\Facades\Guzzle;
Guzzle::get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
// or using helper
guzzle()->get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
Sometimes you may wish to send a request to a channel other than your application's default channel. You may use the channel
method on the Guzzle
facade to retrieve and send to any channel defined in your configuration file:
use Jenky\Hermes\Facades\Guzzle;
Guzzle::channel('my_channel')->get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
// or using helper
guzzle('my_channel')->get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users');
