## Installation

You can install the package via composer:

```bash
composer require juststeveking/laravel-transporter
```

You can publish the config file with:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JustSteveKing\Transporter\TransporterServiceProvider" --tag="transporter-config"
```

The contents of the published config file:

```php
return [
'base_uri' => env('TRANSPORTER_BASE_URI'),
];
```

## Generating Request

To generate an API request to use with Transporter, you can use the Artisan make command:

```bash
php artisan make:api-request NameOfYourRequest
```

This will by default publish as: `app/Transporter/Requests/NameOfYourRequest.php`

## Usage

Transporter Requests are an extention of Laravels `PendingRequest` so all of the methods available on a Pending Request is available to you on your requests.

Also when you send the request, you will receive a `Illuminate\Http\Client\Response` back, allowing you to do things such as `collect($key)` and `json()` and `failed()` very easily. We are simply just shifting how we send it into a class based approach.

```php
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
])
->send()
->json();
```

When building your request to send, you can override the following:

- Request Data using `withData(array $data)`
- Request Query Params using `withQuery(array $query)`
- Request Path using `setPath(string $path)`

### Checking the payload

I had a request in an issue to be able to see the request data for a request, so I have added a helper method called `payload` which will return whatever has been stored in the request `data` property.

```php
$request = TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]);

$data = $request->payload(); // ['title' => 'Build a package']
```

### Concurrent Requests

```php
$responses = \JustSteveKing\Transporter\Facades\Concurrently::build()->setRequests([
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
]);

$responses[0]->json();
$responses[1]->json();
$responses[2]->json();
```

### Concurrency with a Custom key

```php
$responses = \JustSteveKing\Transporter\Facades\Concurrently::build()->setRequests([
TestRequest::build()
->as(
key: 'first'
)
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->as(
key: 'second'
)
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
TestRequest::build()
->as(
key: 'third'
)
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
]),
]);

$responses['first']->json();
$responses['second']->json();
$responses['third']->json();
```

### Optional Alias

Instead of the standard `send()` method, it is also possible to use the fun alias `energize()`. *Please note, no sound effects are included.*

```php
TestRequest::build()
->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
])
->energize()
->json();
```

### Faking a Request or Concurrent

To fake a request, all you need to do is replace the build method with the fake method, which takes an optional `status` parameter, to set the status code being returned with the response:

```php
TestRequest::fake(
status: 200,
)->withToken('foobar')
->withData([
'title' => 'Build a package'
])->withFakeData([
'data' => 'faked'
])->send();
```

```php
$responses = Concurrently::fake()->setRequests([
TestRequest::fake()->setPath(
path: '/todos/1',
)->as(
key: 'first'
),
TestRequest::fake()->setPath(
path: '/todos/2',
)->as(
key: 'second'
),
TestRequest::fake()->setPath(
path: '/todos/3',
)->as(
key: 'thirds'
),
])->run();
```

Which will return a response with the data you pass through to `withFakeData`, which internally will merge what is on the class with what you pass it. So you can build up an initial state of faked data per class.

### Sending XML

Thanks to a fantastic suggestion by [@jessarcher](https://github.com/jessarcher) we can use a `Trait` to allow for easy use of XML in your requests. Using this as a trait makes a lot of sense as most APIs these days use JSON, so it is purely opt in.
To use this, simply use the trait on your request:

```php
withXml(
xml: 'Send an XML Requetsfalse'
)->send();
```
