Request

The Request Utility is a object-oriented representation of the current http request and user inputs. It is used to get information about the current http request in a concise and comprehensible way. It acts as a facade for both PHP superarrays. It even executes some pre-validation on inputs.

To access the request utility, you must import the Request class from the Core module.

use Apine\Core\Request;

Usage Example

if (!Request::is_api_call()) {
    if (!empty(Request::get()['request']) && Request::get()['request'] != '/') {
        $request = Request::get()['request'];
    } else {
        $request = '/index';
    }

    if (Request::is_get()) {
        // Do something if the HTTP verb is GET
    } else if (Request::is_post()) {
        // Do something else if the verb is POST
    }
}
