Introduction

PureRequest is a streamlined PHP library designed to simplify web communication by providing a hassle-free interface for HTTP requests, eliminating the complexity of using cURL directly. This library supports a wide range of HTTP operations, including GET and POST requests, and is highly configurable to meet the needs of various web applications.

Features

• Easy-to-use interface for HTTP GET and POST requests
• Support for custom headers and body content
• Configurable request options, including timeouts and redirection handling
• Built-in support for handling response data and status codes
• Secure and efficient implementation

Installation

To install PureRequest, you need to have Composer installed on your machine. Run the following command in your project directory:

composer require swnck/pure-request

Usage

Configuration of Request

$request = new PureRequest((new RequestConfiguration())
    ->setReturnTransfer(true) // Return the transfer as a string of the return value of curl_exec() instead of outputting it out directly
    ->setFollowLocation(true) // Follow any "Location: " header that the server sends as part of the HTTP header (note this is recursive, PHP will follow as many "Location: " headers that it is sent, unless CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS is set)
    ->setConnectTimeout(10) // The maximum number of seconds to allow cURL functions to execute
);

or if you want to stay with DEFAULT configuration:

$request = new PureRequest();

Sending a GET Request

$request->get(HeaderContent::empty(), function (ResponseFrame $response) {
    echo $response->getContent();
    echo $response->getStatusCode();
}, "https://example.com/api/data");

Sending a POST Request

$request->post(HeaderContent::paste(["Content-Type" => ContentType::APPLICATION_JSON, "Connection" => "keep-alive"]), BodyContent::paste([
    "email" => "[e-mail]",
    "password" => "your_password"
]), function (ResponseFrame $response) {
    echo $response->getContent();
}, "https://example.com/api/login");

Features

• Easy-to-use interface for HTTP GET and POST requests
• Support for custom headers and body content
• Support for PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS, HEAD, and other HTTP methods
• Support for file uploads and multipart form data
• Configurable request options, including timeouts and redirection handling
• Built-in support for handling response data and status codes
• Secure and efficient implementation
