Guzzle Base Client

This is a simple base Guzzle Client to quickly consume responses from JSON based services.

Example usage

The respond() will automatically parse out the response from the Guzzle Client so you may quickly interact with it.

<?php

use MatthewErskine\Guzzle\Client;

class FruitService extends Client
{
    public function getFruits()
    {
        // {"data": [{"title": "banana"}, {"title": "apple"}]}
        return $this->respond(
            $this->getHttpClient()->get($this->getUrl().'/bananas')
        );
    }
}

Now in a consuming class we can interact with data directly:

<?php

class FruitRepository
{
    ...

    public function giveMeABanana()
    {
        foreach ($this->fruitService->getFruits() as $fruit) {
            if ($fruit['title'] == 'banana') {
                return $fruit;
            }
        }
    }
}
