The HTTP Driver

Introduction

The HTTP driver uses Laravel's excellent illuminate/http library to expose an API client within Kipchak.

Installation

Install the driver via composer by running:

composer require kipchak/driver-http

Initialise the Driver

Add the following line to your drivers/drivers.php file:

\Mamluk\Kipchak\Driver\Http\Http::iniitalise($container);

Configuration

This driver has no configuration.

Usage

use Kipchak\Driver\Http\Http;

$client = Http::get();
$response = $client->get('https://api.example.com/data');

Access parts of the response using:

$response->body() : string;
$response->json($key = null, $default = null) : mixed;
$response->object() : object;
$response->collect($key = null) : Illuminate\Support\Collection;
$response->resource() : resource;
$response->status() : int;
$response->successful() : bool;
$response->redirect(): bool;
$response->failed() : bool;
$response->clientError() : bool;
$response->header($header) : string;
$response->headers() : array;
