Sending Requests
To start sending requests, instantiate your connector class and request class and use the
send or sendAsync methods. When using the send method. you will receive a Response class.<?php
$forge = new ForgeConnector('api-token');
$request = new GetServersRequest;
$response = $forge->send($request);
Saloon supports asynchronous requests out of the box. Use the
sendAsync method, and you will receive an instance of PromiseInterface. Saloon uses Guzzle's Promises library, which uses the A+ standard. Click here to read more.<?php
$forge = new ForgeConnector('api-token');
$promise = $forge->sendAsync(new GetServersRequest);
$promise
->then(function (Response $response) {
// Handle Response
})
->otherwise(function (RequestException $exception) {
// Handle Exception
});
Saloon supports all the features Guzzle offers for asynchronous requests, including unwrapping promises and request pooling for high-performance API calls. Click here to learn more.
Please make sure to read the section on solo requests first to configure your request. You can send solo requests directly.
<?php
$request = new GetServersRequest;
$response = $request->send();
You have the following methods available on the solo request.
- send(MockClient $mockClient = null)
- sendAsync(MockClient $mockClient = null)
- createPendingRequest
- connector
With previous versions of Saloon, you could send a request directly without having to use a connector to send a request. While sending requests through the connector has many benefits, you may wish to add this feature with the
HasConnector trait on your request.Once you have added the trait to your request, make sure to add the
connector protected property and define your connector class. You may instead extend the resolveConnector method if you need a more advanced solution.Connector Property
Using resolveConnector
<?php
use Saloon\Http\Request;
use Saloon\Traits\Request\HasConnector;
use App\Http\Integrations\LaravelForge\Forge;
class GetServersRequest extends Request
{
use HasConnector;
protected string $connector = Forge::class;
protected string $method = 'GET';
public function resolveEndpoint(): string
{
return '/servers';
}
}
When defining a connector with a property, you must not have any constructor properties on your connector.
<?php
use Saloon\Http\Request;
use Saloon\Traits\Request\HasConnector;
use App\Http\Integrations\LaravelForge\Forge;
class GetServersRequest extends Request
{
use HasConnector;
protected string $method = 'GET';
protected function resolveConnector(): Connector
{
return new ForgeConnector;
}
public function resolveEndpoint(): string
{
return '/servers';
}
}
<?php
$request = new GetServersRequest;
$response = $request->send();
When sending multiple requests for the same service, use the same connector instance as it has a significant performance improvement over using a new connector instance for every request.
Now you can use the following methods on your request.
- send(MockClient $mockClient = null)
- sendAsync(MockClient $mockClient = null)
- createPendingRequest
- connector
You may also overwrite any headers, query parameters, HTTP client config and request body on the connector or request. Read through the sections above for all the methods on the request property methods.
Connector
Request
<?php
$forge = new ForgeConnector('api-token');
// All requests sent will have the header and query parameter applied
$forge->headers()->add('X-Custom-Header', 'Hello'!);
$forge->query()->add('page', 5);
<?php
$forge = new ForgeConnector('api-token');
$request = new GetServersRequest;
// The single request will have the additional header and query parameter.
$request->headers()->add('X-Custom-Header', 'Hello'!);
$request->query()->add('page', 5);
$response = $connector->send($request);
