Official HTTP client for Yii 2 released
The Yii team has released the official HTTP client extension. It was written almost entirely by Pavel Klimov. Until recently, it was not tagged as a release due to incompatibility with the PSR-7, although it has already been used a lot. After much discussion, it was decided to release without PSR-7. They may return to him in 2.1.x.
Making an HTTP request looks like this:
use yii\httpclient\Client;
$client = new Client();
$response = $client->createRequest()
->setMethod('post')
->setUrl('http://example.com/api/1.0/users')
->setData(['name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => 'johndoe@domain.com'])
->send();
if ($response->isOk) {
$newUserId = $response->data['id'];
}
