REST client
Usage
The Endpoint
class serves as the entry point to this API. Create a new instance of it with the REST service's endpoint URL and then invoke its resource()
method to work with the resources.
Creating: post
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= new Endpoint('https://api.example.com/'); $result= $api->resource('users')->post(['name' => 'Test'], 'application/json'); // Get location from created response, raising an UnexpectedStatus // exception for any statuscode outside of the range 200-299. $url= $result->location(); // Same as above, but handle 201 *AND* 200 status codes - see // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1860645 $id= $result->match([ 200 => fn($r) => $r->value()['id'], 201 => fn($r) => (int)basename($r->location()) ]);
Reading: get / head
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= new Endpoint('https://api.example.com/'); // Test for existance with HEAD, raising UnexpectedStatus exceptions // for any status code other than 200 and 404. $exists= $api->resource('users/1549')->head()->match([ 200 => true, 404 => false ]); // Return user object, raising an UnexpectedStatus exception for any // statuscode outside of the range 200-299. $user= $api->resource('users/self')->get()->value(); // Same as above, but returns NULL for 404s instead of an exception $user= $api->resource('users/{0}', [$id])->get()->optional(); // Pass parameters $list= $api->resource('user')->get(['page' => 1, 'per_page' => 50])->value(); // Access pagination via `Link: <...>; rel="next"` header $resource= 'groups'; do { $result= $this->endpoint->resource($resource)->get(['per_page' => 200]); foreach ($result->value() as $group) { yield $group['id'] => $group; } } while ($resource= $result->link('next'));
Updating: put / patch
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= new Endpoint('https://api.example.com/'); $resource= $api->resource('users/self') ->sending('application/json') ->accepting('application/json') ; // Default content type and accept types set on resource used $updated= $resource->put(['name' => 'Tested', 'login' => $mail])->value(); // Resources can be reused! $updated= $resource->patch(['name' => 'Changed'])->value();
Deleting: delete
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= new Endpoint('https://api.example.com/'); // Pass segments, map 204 to true, 404 to null, raise UnexpectedStatus // exception otherwise $api->resource('users/{id}', $user)->delete()->match([ 204 => true, 404 => null ]);
Uploads
Multipart file uploads are initiated by the upload()
method, may include parameters and can upload from any input stream.
use io\File; use io\streams\MemoryInputStream; use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $stream= new MemoryInputStream('Hello'); $file= new File(...); $endpoint= new Endpoint($url); $result= $endpoint->resource('files')->upload() ->pass('tc', 'accepted') ->transfer('letter', $stream, 'letter.txt', 'text/plain') ->transfer('cv', $file->in(), $file->filename) ->finish() ;
Deserialization
Automatic result deserialization is supported by passing a type to the value()
method.
use com\example\api\types\User; $result= $api->resource('users/{0}', [$id])->get(); // If a type is passed, the result will be unmarshalled to an object $map= $result->value(); $object= $result->value(User::class); // Same for optional, but map and object will be NULL for 404s $map= $result->optional(); $object= $result->optional(User::class); // Works with any type from the XP typesystem, e.g. arrays of objects $list= $api->resource('users')->get()->value('org.example.User[]');
Error handling
Operations on the Result
class raise UnexpectedStatus
exceptions. Here's how to access their status and reason:
use webservices\rest\UnexpectedStatus; use util\cmd\Console; // In unexpected cases try { $user= $api->resource('users/self')->get()->value(); } catch (UnexpectedStatus $e) { Console::writeLine('Unexpected ', $e->status(), ': ', $e->reason()); } // More graceful handling $result= $api->resource('users/self')->get(); if ($error= $result->error()) { Console::writeLine('Unexpected ', $result->status(), ': ', $error); } else { $user= $result->value(); }
Authentication
Basic authentication is supported by embedding the credentials in the endpoint URL:
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= new Endpoint('https://user:pass@api.example.com/');
Bearer tokens can also be embedded in the endpoint URL:
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= new Endpoint('https://token@api.example.com/');
Other header-based authentication values can be passed along as follows:
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; $api= (new Endpoint('https://api.example.com/'))->with(['X-API-Key' => $key]);
Compression
This library handlees compressed data transparently, sending an Accept-Encoding header containing compression algorithms supported in the PHP setup (based on loaded extensions like e.g. zlib) and using the Content-Encoding response header to determine which algorithm to select.
use webservices\rest\Endpoint; use io\streams\Compression; // Detect supported compression algorithms and set "Accept-Encoding" accordingly $endpoint= new Endpoint($api); // Send "Accept-Encoding: identity", indicating the server should not compress $endpoint= (new Endpoint($api))->compressing(Compression::$NONE); // Send "Accept-Encoding: gzip, br" $endpoint= (new Endpoint($api))->compressing(['gzip', 'br']); // Do not send an "Accept-Encoding" header, i.e. no preference is expressed $endpoint= (new Endpoint($api))->compressing(null);
Testability
This library also includes facilities to ease writing unittests for code making REST API calls. By using the TestEndpoint class and supplying it with routes it should respond to, various scenarios can be easily tested without the need for HTTP protocol and I/O overhead.
use webservices\rest\TestEndpoint; $endpoint= new TestEndpoint([ '/users/6100' => function($call) { return $call->respond(200, 'OK', ['Content-Type' => 'application/json'], '{ "id": 6100, "username": "binford" }'); }, 'POST /users' => function($call) { return $call->respond(201, 'Created', ['Location' => '/users/6100']); }, ]); $response= $endpoint->resource('/users/me')->get(); // Responds with HTTP status 200 and the above JSON payload
