HTTP

Wrapper around Nyholm\Psr7 library with a few helper methods and a basic emitter. For use in WordPress during ajax calls.

Why?

Throughout a few of our modules we need to handle HTTP requests and responses. The WP_HTTP_* classes are great, but PS7 compliant libraries have a lot more to offer.

So this small module acts a wrapper for the Nyholm\Psr7 and Nyholm\Psr7Server libraries and gives a few helper methods. You can easily create and emit either Responses that extend WP_HTTP_RESPONSE or implements ResponseInterface

Examples

Creates a WP_HTTP_Response

<?php
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;

$http = new HTTP();

$response = $http->wp_response(
    ['some_key'=>'some_value'], 
    200, 
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=UTF-8']
);

// OR 

$response = HTTP_Helper::wp_response(
    ['some_key'=>'some_value'], 
    200, 
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=UTF-8']
);

// Emit to client
$http->emit_response($response);

As both have the same signatures, you can interchange at will. Obviously the PS7 Response has more functionality to fine tune the response.

Creates a PS7 Response

<?php
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;

$http = new HTTP();

$response = $http->ps7_response(
    ['some_key'=>'some_value'], 
    200, 
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=UTF-8']
);

// OR 

$response = HTTP_Helper::response(
    ['some_key'=>'some_value'], 
    200, 
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/json; charset=UTF-8']
);

// Emit to client
$http->emit_response($response);

Creates a PS7 Request

<?php
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP_Helper;

$http = new HTTP();

$request = $http->psr7_request(
    'GET',
    'https://google.com'
);

// OR 

$request = HTTP_Helper::request(
    'GET',
    'https://google.com'
);

Get ServerRequest fromGlobals

Returns a populated instance of ServerRequestInterface.

<?php
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP_Helper;

$server = (new HTTP())->request_from_globals();

// OR 

$server = HTTP_Helper::global_server_request();

Create Stream

The PSR7 HTTP objects work with streams for the body, you can wrap all scalars values which can cast to JSON in a stream.

<?php
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP;
use PinkCrab\HTTP\HTTP_Helper;

$stream = (new HTTP())->stream_from_scalar($data);

// OR 

$stream = HTTP_Helper::stream_from_scalar($data);

The (new HTTP())->create_stream_with_json() has been marked as deprecated since 0.2.3. use (new HTTP())->stream_from_scalar() in its place.
