README

API Facades generator, allowing to call OpenAPI compatible API's with fluid interfaces.

🤖✨👱🏻 Made by human an Ai

Project developed with help of an Ai. This project is still in development, and only features currently required are being implemented and tested.

Description

The idea is to use natural path-like syntax, instead of method names clumps. The API call is basically last method which is the verb of request.

For example, POST to user account module API:

$api->ua->user->login->post($request);

Which sends post to: htttps://example.com/api/v1/ua/user/login

Example with GET:

$api->settlements->balance->show->get($request);

Or even shorter syntax:

$api->settlements->balance->show($request);

Which gets response from: htttps://example.com/api/v1/settlements/balance/show

Install

composer require maslosoft/api-facades --dev

Hydration

The ObjectProperties hydrator populates public properties using reflection. It supports #[Cast], #[CastArray], #[Scalar], and #[ScalarArray] attributes.

Input field mapping and camelization

Use #[InputField('field_name')] to map an input field to a property. When an input field is explicitly defined, camelization is ignored for that property.

Camelizing input keys (for example, user_name -> userName) can be configured through HydrationConfig:

• HydrationConfig::CamelizeAuto (default) - camelize when snake_case keys are present.
• HydrationConfig::CamelizeEnabled - always allow snake_case mapping.
• HydrationConfig::CamelizeDisabled - disable snake_case mapping.

use Maslosoft\ApiFacades\Hydrators\Attributes\InputField;
use Maslosoft\ApiFacades\Hydrators\HydrationConfig;
use Maslosoft\ApiFacades\Hydrators\ObjectProperties;

class User
{
	#[InputField('user_name')]
	public string $userName = '';

	public string $emailAddress = '';
}

$hydrator = new ObjectProperties(new HydrationConfig(HydrationConfig::CamelizeAuto));
$user = $hydrator->hydrate(new User(), [
	'user_name' => 'Jane',
	'email_address' => '[e-mail]',
]);

Unit tests

To create unit test, make may be used with self-explanatory command, for example:

make unit Generate/Trim

Will generate new unit test class in:

tests/Unit/GenerateTrimTest.php

Keep in mind to use forward slash for namespace of tests, as \ may be interpreted as escape character and generated class namespece will be wrong.

Templates

Templates are stored as md files. This allows syntax highlighting while not showing errors when using placeholders.
