Sending Requests

After you have created your request, it is ready to be sent off to the internet! 🚀
There are three ways to send requests. You can use the request class directly, send requests through your connector, or you can register requests on your connector and use method-style access to send your requests.
Sending requests using the request class
Just instantiate your request class and use the send() method.
<?php
​
$request = new GetForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456');
​
$response = $request->send();
Sending requests using the connector class
This is useful if your connector has any constructor arguments. Just instantiate your connector class and use the send() method.
<?php
​
$connector = new ForgeConnector($apiToken);
$request = $connector->request(new GetForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456'));
​
$response = $request->send();
​
// or...
​
$connector->send(new GetForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456'));
Connector Constructors
If your connector has a constructor inside with specific data, you should consider sending requests through the connector rather than the request. Click here to read more.​
Alternatively, you can overwrite the connector that a request uses, by using the setConnector() method on the request before calling the send() method.
<?php
​
$connector = new ForgeConnector($apiKey);
$request = new GetForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456');
​
$request->setConnector($connector);
​
$request->send();
Sending requests inside an SDK

Modifying the request before it is sent
As mentioned previously, you can also use methods like addHeader() and setConfig() right before you send the request. This is useful if you have conditional headers, config or form data you need to pass in at the last minute.
<?php
​
use Sammyjo20\Saloon\Http\SaloonConnector;
use App\Http\Saloon\Requests\GetForgeServerRequest;
​
$request = new GetForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456');
​
$request->setHeaders($array);
$request->addConfig('debug', true);
$request->addData('my-field', 'my-value');
​
$response = $request->send();
​
// Or if you are using the connector...
​
$connector = new ForgeConnector;
$request = $connector->request(new GetForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456'));
​
$request->setHeaders($array);
$request->addConfig('debug', true);
$request->addData('my-field', 'my-value');
​
$response = $request->send();
​
// Or if you are using method-style access
​
$request = ForgeConnector::getForgeServerRequest(serverId: '123456');
​
$request->setHeaders($array);
$request->addConfig('debug', true);
$request->addData('my-field', 'my-value');
​
$response = $request->send();
The addData, setData and mergeData methods will not do anything unless you attach a form data trait.
