# Guzzle Commands
This library uses Guzzle and provides the foundations to create fully-featured
web service clients by abstracting Guzzle HTTP *requests* and *responses* into
higher-level *commands* and *results* . A *middleware* system, analogous to, but
separate from, the one in the HTTP layer may be used to customize client
behavior when preparing commands into requests and processing responses into
results.
### Commands
Key-value pair objects representing an operation of a web service. Commands
have a name and a set of parameters.
### Results
Key-value pair objects representing the processed result of executing an
operation of a web service.
## Installing
This project can be installed using [Composer ](https://getcomposer.org/ ):
```
composer require guzzlehttp/command
```
## Service Clients
Service Clients are web service clients that implement the
`GuzzleHttp\Command\ServiceClientInterface` and use an underlying Guzzle HTTP
client (`GuzzleHttp\ClientInterface`) to communicate with the service. Service
clients create and execute *commands* (`GuzzleHttp\Command\CommandInterface`),
which encapsulate operations within the web service, including the operation
name and parameters. This library provides a generic implementation of a service
client: the `GuzzleHttp\Command\ServiceClient` class.
## Instantiating a Service Client
The provided service client implementation (`GuzzleHttp\Command\ServiceClient`)
can be instantiated by providing the following arguments:
1. A fully-configured Guzzle HTTP client that will be used to perform the
underlying HTTP requests. That is, an instance of an object implementing
`GuzzleHttp\ClientInterface` such as `new GuzzleHttp\Client()` .
1. A callable that transforms a Command into a Request. The function should
accept a `GuzzleHttp\Command\CommandInterface` object and return a
`Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface` object.
1. A callable that transforms a Response into a Result. The function should
accept a `Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface` object and optionally a
`Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface` object, and return a
`GuzzleHttp\Command\ResultInterface` object.
1. Optionally, a Guzzle HandlerStack (`GuzzleHttp\HandlerStack`), which can be
used to add command-level middleware to the service client.
Below is an example configured to send and receive JSON payloads:
```php
use GuzzleHttp\Command\CommandInterface;
use GuzzleHttp\Command\Result;
use GuzzleHttp\Command\ResultInterface;
use GuzzleHttp\Command\ServiceClient;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
use GuzzleHttp\UriTemplate\UriTemplate;
use GuzzleHttp\Utils;
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
$client = new ServiceClient(
new HttpClient(),
function (CommandInterface $command): RequestInterface {
return new Request(
'POST',
UriTemplate::expand('/{command}', ['command' => $command->getName()]),
['Accept' => 'application/json', 'Content-Type' => 'application/json'],
Utils::jsonEncode($command->toArray())
);
},
function (ResponseInterface $response, RequestInterface $request): ResultInterface {
return new Result(
Utils::jsonDecode((string) $response->getBody(), true)
);
}
);
```
## Executing Commands
Service clients create command objects using the ``getCommand()`` method.
```php
$commandName = 'foo';
$arguments = ['baz' => 'bar'];
$command = $client->getCommand($commandName, $arguments);
```
After creating a command, you may execute the command using the `execute()`
method of the client.
```php
$result = $client->execute($command);
```
The result of executing a command will be an instance of an object implementing
`GuzzleHttp\Command\ResultInterface` . Result objects are `ArrayAccess` -ible and
contain the data parsed from HTTP response.
Service clients have magic methods that act as shortcuts to executing commands
by name without having to create the ``Command`` object in a separate step
before executing it.
```php
$result = $client->foo(['baz' => 'bar']);
```
## Asynchronous Commands
@TODO Add documentation
* ``-Async`` suffix for client methods
* Promises
```php
// Create and execute an asynchronous command.
$command = $command = $client->getCommand('foo', ['baz' => 'bar']);
$promise = $client->executeAsync($command);
// Use asynchronous commands with magic methods.
$promise = $client->fooAsync(['baz' => 'bar']);
```
@TODO Add documentation
* ``wait()``-ing on promises.
```php
$result = $promise->wait();
echo $result['fizz']; //> 'buzz'
```
## Concurrent Requests
@TODO Add documentation
* ``executeAll()``
* ``executeAllAsync()``.
* Options (``fulfilled``, ``rejected``, ``concurrency``)
## Middleware: Extending the Client
Middleware can be added to the service client or underlying HTTP client to
implement additional behavior and customize the ``Command``-to-``Result`` and
``Request``-to-``Response`` lifecycles, respectively.
