Documentation

How to use it? Inside your controller, call the httpContract service like this:, _(*8)

$curl = $this->get('ek_api_caller.contract.http');
$curl->setParameter('url',     $url);      
$curl->setParameter('headers', $httpHeaders); //$httpHeaders => array       
$curl->setParameter('datas',   $urlDatas);   //$urlDatas   => array

//Available methods for request are post, get, delete
//These methods return an array of two values (response message, and http status code)
//You can use these values to generate your api specific errors 
$curl->post();

//$urlDatas array are automatically encoded, just specify an array of key => values
//Example for stripe api
$urlDatas = [
    'amount'   => 5500,
    'currency' => 'EUR',
    'card' => [
        'number'    => '4242424242424242',
        'exp_month' => '10',
        'exp_year'  => '16',
        'cvc'       => '123',
    ],           
];


//$httpHeaders must be array to, but without key values
//Example for stripe api
$user_agent = [
    'bindings_version' => '1.0.0',
    'lang'             => 'php',
    'lang_version'     => PHP_VERSION,
    'publisher'        => 'scribe',
    'uname'            => php_uname(),
];

$httpHeaders = [
    'X-Stripe-Client-User-Agent: '    . json_encode($user_agent),
    'User-Agent: Stripe/v1 ScribeStripeBundle/' . '1.0.0',
    'Authorization: Bearer '          . 'STRIPE_SECRET_KEY',
    'Stripe-Version: '                . '2014-01-31'
];
