Transporter is a futuristic way to send API requests in PHP. This is an OOP approach to handle API requests.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require juststeveking/laravel-transporter
You can publish the config file with:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JustSteveKing\Transporter\TransporterServiceProvider" --tag="transporter-config"
The contents of the published config file:
return [
'base_uri' => env('TRANSPORTER_BASE_URI'),
];
To generate an API request to use with Transporter, you can use the Artisan make command:
php artisan make:api-request NameOfYourRequest
This will by default publish as: app/Transporter/Requests/NameOfYourRequest.php
Transporter Requests are an extention of Laravels PendingRequest
so all of the methods available on a Pending Request is available to you on your requests.
Also when you send the request, you will receive a Illuminate\Http\Client\Response
back, allowing you to do things such as collect($key)
and json()
and failed()
very easily. We are simply just shifting how we send it into a class based approach.
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
])
->send()
->json();
When building your request to send, you can override the following:
withData(array $data)
withQuery(array $query)
setPath(string $path)
I had a request in an issue to be able to see the request data for a request, so I have added a helper method called payload
which will return whatever has been stored in the request data
property.
$request = TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]);
$data = $request->payload(); // ['title' => 'Build a package']
$responses = \JustSteveKing\Transporter\Facades\Concurrently::build()->setRequests([
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
]);
$responses[0]->json();
$responses[1]->json();
$responses[2]->json();
$responses = \JustSteveKing\Transporter\Facades\Concurrently::build()->setRequests([
TestRequest::build()
->as(
key: 'first'
)
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->as(
key: 'second'
)
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->as(
key: 'third'
)
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
]);
$responses['first']->json();
$responses['second']->json();
$responses['third']->json();
Instead of the standard send()
method, it is also possible to use the fun alias energize()
. Please note, no sound effects are included.
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
])
->energize()
->json();
To fake a request, all you need to do is replace the build method with the fake method, which takes an optional status
parameter, to set the status code being returned with the response:
TestRequest::fake(
status: 200,
)->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
])->withFakeData([
'data' => 'faked'
])->send();
$responses = Concurrently::fake()->setRequests([
TestRequest::fake()->setPath(
path: '/todos/1',
)->as(
key: 'first'
),
TestRequest::fake()->setPath(
path: '/todos/2',
)->as(
key: 'second'
),
TestRequest::fake()->setPath(
path: '/todos/3',
)->as(
key: 'thirds'
),
])->run();
Which will return a response with the data you pass through to withFakeData
, which internally will merge what is on the class with what you pass it. So you can build up an initial state of faked data per class.
Thanks to a fantastic suggestion by @jessarcher we can use a Trait
to allow for easy use of XML in your requests. Using this as a trait makes a lot of sense as most APIs these days use JSON, so it is purely opt in.
To use this, simply use the trait on your request:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Transporter\Requests;
use JustSteveKing\Transporter\Concerns\SendsXml;
use JustSteveKing\Transporter\Request;
class XmlRequest extends Request
{
use SendsXml;
protected string $method = 'POST';
protected string $path = '/your-endpoint';
}
Then all you need to do is call the methods:
XmlRequest::build()->withXml(
xml: '<todo><name>Send an XML Requets</name><completed>false</completed></todo>'
)->send();
To run the tests in parallel:
composer run test
To run the tests with a coverage report:
composer run test-coverage
