RestClient

Rest Client using Symfony Components

This is a heavy development version!

Configuration

Basic configuration

# The actual rest client. First argument is the adapter to use second
# argument is the base url of the rest server
cac.rest.client:
    class: CAC\Rest\Client
    arguments: [@cac.rest.client.adapter, %api.url%]

# Rest Client adapter
cac.rest.client.adapter:
    class: CAC\Rest\Client\CurlAdapter

Add logging of requests and responses

If you want to see what your application is doing with the requests and responses you can add logging to the rest client. We already provide a solution. You only have to add the following services to your config file

Add the Symfony EventDispatcher to the Rest Client

# Rest Client
cac.rest.client:
    class: CAC\Rest\Client
    arguments: [@cac.rest.client.adapter, %api.url%]
    calls:
        - [setEventDispatcher, [@event_dispatcher]]

Now the Rest Client is triggering events before and after the request is done. Create a Monolog Logger and add it to the RequestResponse Logger

# Request and Response logger
cac.rest.client.listener.logger:
    class: CAC\Rest\EventListener\RequestResponseLogger
    arguments: [@cac.rest.client.logger]
    tags:
        - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: "rest.response", method: "onRestResponse" }
    
# Rest Client Logger
# The logger service for the rest client
cac.rest.client.logger:
    class: Monolog\Logger
    arguments: [cac.rest.client]
    calls:
        - [pushHandler, [@cac.rest.client.logger.handler]]

cac.rest.client.logger.handler:
    class: Monolog\Handler\StreamHandler
    arguments: [%rest.client.log.file%, %rest.client.log.level%]
