Fetch data from any rest API with a common interface.

Rest Repositories

Fetch data from any rest API with a common interface. Api results are returned wrapped in easy-to-work-with, fluent collection and object wrappers., _(*1)

In a nutshell

You should be able to fetch data from any webservice and then access it using the following API:, _(*2)

    $posts = PostsRepository::all()->first()->title;

or, _(*3)

    $post = PostsRepository::find(1)->author->image->url;

This keeps you from having to create a separate mental map for each web service you work with., _(*4)

Repositories

It's the job of the repository to abstract working with your webservice to a common interface. Extend Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Single, Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Listing or Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Resource for minimal setup., _(*5)

Resources

A resource is for API resources with full read/write capability. The resource object has the following methods:, _(*6)

    public static function get($params = []);
    public static function update($id, $params = []);
    public static function all();
    public static function find($id);
    public static function create($payload);
    public static function delete($payload);

To create a new resource extend Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Resource:, _(*7)

For example:, _(*8)

    use Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Resource;
    class PostsResource extends Resource
    {
        static $resource = 'posts'
        public static function sdk() {
            return new YourSdk();
        }
    }

Listings

A listing is for API resources with full read only capability. The resource object has the following methods:, _(*9)

public static function get($params = []); public static function all(); public static function find($id);, _(*10)

To create a new listing extend Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Listing:, _(*11)

Singles

A single is for API resources for a single listing endpoint. The resource object has only the get method.:, _(*12)

    public static function get($params = []);

To create a new single extend Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Single:, _(*13)

Creating a base repository for a webservice

    //This is just an example, you should create your own SDK implementation
    use Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Sdks\JsonPlaceholderSdk; 

    use Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Listing;

    class JsonPlaceholderBaseRepository extends Listing
    {
        public static function sdk() {
            return new JsonPlaceholderSdk();
        }
    }

Creating a repository

    class JsonPlaceholderPostsRepository extends JsonPlaceholderBaseRepository
    {
        //This will be passed to your SDK as the resource. This is usually the last part of the URL.
        public static $resource = 'posts';

        //In case you need to set default paramaters on all requests from repository.
        protected static function defaultParams() 
        {
            return [
                'somefilter' => 'fromapi'
            ]
        }
    }


    $posts = JsonPlaceholderPostsRepository::all();

Getting the original data

Responses are wrapped in Collection and Object wrappers by default and data keys are stripped out. To access response meta data like pagination or links, you can retrieve the original object like so:, _(*14)

    PostRepository::all()->getOriginal()['page'];
    //Or
    PostRepository::all()->first()->getOriginal()['links'];
    //Or
    PostRepository::all()->first()->author->getOriginal()['links'];

SDKs

It's the job of an SDK class to make requests to a webservice. SDKs should implement Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Contracts\SdkInterface. To make this easy, a base Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Sdks\HttpSdk class is provided., _(*15)

Using the HttpSdk class on the fly

Without authentication

    $sdk = new HttpSdk('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/');
    $result = $sdk->post('posts', ['title' => 'foo', 'body' => 'bar', 'userId' => 1]);

With authentication

    $sdk = new HttpSdk('http://example.com/api/', ['headers' => ['Authorization' => 'password123']]);
    $result = $sdk->post('posts', ['title' => 'foo', 'body' => 'bar', 'userId' => 1]);

Even Better: Creating your own SDK class

Without authentication

    <?php
    use Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Sdks\HttpSdk;

    class JsonPlaceholderSdk extends HttpSdk
    {
        protected $endpoint = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/';
    }

    $sdk = new JsonPlaceholderSdk();
    $result = $sdk->post('posts', ['title' => 'foo', 'body' => 'bar', 'userId' => 1]);

With authentication

    <?php
    use Incraigulous\RestRepositories\Sdks\HttpSdk;

    class ExampleSdk extends HttpSdk
    {
        protected $endpoint = 'http://example.com/api/';

        protected function defaultHeaders()
        {
            return ['Authorization' => $however->you->get->api->key];
        }
    }

    $sdk = new ExampleSdk();
    $result = $sdk->post('posts', ['title' => 'foo', 'body' => 'bar', 'userId' => 1]);
