http-service-bundle

Currently, this bundle turns Guzzle HTTP Client into a service to allow application wide configuration (like curl proxy settings).

It uses a ClientFactory so that you can adapt it to other HTTP Clients.

Installation

Step 1: Add package as requirement in Composer

Add the bundle to your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "guilhermednt/http-service-bundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

Then run the update command:

$ composer update guilhermednt/http-service-bundle

Step 2: Tell Symfony2 about it.

Enable the bundle in your AppKernel.php:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Donato\HttpServiceBundle\DonatoHttpServiceBundle(),
    );
}

Step 3: Add desired parameters

This bundle does not require you to change config.yml, so that you can have different configuration scenarios for each environment you have.

The minimum configuration needed is this:

# app/config/parameters.yml

parameters:
    http_client_factory_class: Donato\HttpServiceBundle\Factory\ClientFactory
    http_client_config: ~

Below you can see an example for HTTP Proxy with Authentication:

# app/config/parameters.yml

imports:
    - { resource: constants.php }

parameters:
    # ... your regular parameters ...
    
    http_client_factory_class: Donato\HttpServiceBundle\Factory\ClientFactory
    http_client_config:
        curl:
            %curl.proxy.type%: HTTP
            %curl.proxy.host%: my.proxy.example.com
            %curl.proxy.port%: 1234
            %curl.proxy.auth%: username:password

Note that the CURL constants are introduced via constants.php as follows:

<?php
// app/config/constants.php

$container->setParameter('curl.proxy.type', CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE);
$container->setParameter('curl.proxy.host', CURLOPT_PROXY);
$container->setParameter('curl.proxy.port', CURLOPT_PROXYPORT);
$container->setParameter('curl.proxy.auth', CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD);

That's it!

Now you can start using the service named http_client_factory. To instantiate a Guzzle\Http\Client you may just do the following:

<?php
// SomeController.php
    public function someAction()
    {
        // ...
        
        $clientFactory = $this->get('http_client_factory');
        $client = $clientFactory->getGuzzleClient();
        
        // ...
    }
