PSR7 Response implementation for the Problem Details for HTTP APIs (RFC7807) specification.

Usage

To report a single error, all you need to do is pass in the mandatory parameters and you'll be fine.

Straightforward usage (recommended)

This is probably the fastest way and it's really convenient as it hides the presenter and creating the instances from you.

use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblemResponse;

$additionalDetails = []; //you may pass additional details too.

/**@var $response is a PSR7 response */
$response = ApiProblemResponse::json(404,'User with id 5 not found.', 'Not Found', 'user.not_found', $additionalDetails);
$response = ApiProblemResponse::xml(404,'User with id 5 not found.', 'Not Found', 'user.not_found', $additionalDetails);

$response = ApiProblemResponse::fromExceptionToJson($exception);
$response = ApiProblemResponse::fromExceptionToXml($exception);

Using the constructor and handling the response yourself.

use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblem;
use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblemResponse;
use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\Presenter\JsonPresenter;

$apiProblem = new ApiProblem(
    404,
    'User with id 5 not found.',
    'Not Found', 
    'user.not_found'
); 

$presenter = new JsonPresenter($apiProblem); //or XmlPresenter
return new ApiProblemResponse($presenter);

Using an Exception and handling the response yourself.

use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblem;
use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblemResponse;
use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\Presenter\JsonPresenter;

try {
    //...your code throwing an exception
    throw new \Exception('User with id 5 not found.', 404);   
     
} catch(\Exception $exception) {

    $problem = ApiProblem::fromException($exception);
    $presenter = new JsonPresenter($apiProblem); //or XmlPresenter
    return new ApiProblemResponse($presenter);        
}

Multiple Problems, one object

In order to report more than problem, you must use the additional details parameter.

use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblem;
use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\ApiProblemResponse;
use NilPortugues\Api\Problem\Presenter\JsonPresenter;

try {
    // some code of yours throws an exception... for instance:
    throw new \Exception('User data is not valid.', 500);
           
} catch(\Exception $exception) {

    $additionalDetails = [
        'errors' => [
            ['name' => 'username', 'error' => 'Username must be at least 5 characters long.'],
            ['name' => 'email', 'error' => 'Provided address is not a valid email.'],
        ],
    ]

    $apiProblem = ApiProblem::fromException(
        $exception,
        'Input values do not match the requirements',
        'user.invalid_data',
        $additionalDetails;
    ); 

    $presenter = new JsonPresenter($apiProblem); //or XmlPresenter
    
    return new ApiProblemResponse($presenter);
}
