Making Request to Other Endpoints ​

Given that our Flutterwave service only provide access to the most common endpoints, you can make request to other endpoints we have not added to the service by using the HttpClientWrapper class. This class is a wrapper around the GuzzleHttp\Client class and it provides a simple way to make request to any endpoint. The HttpClientWrapper class is available through the Flutterwave facade, flutterwave() helper or through dependency injection using the FlutterwaveContract interface. The HttpClientWrapper class, is designed to extract some of the configurations from the Flutterwave service so you that you don't have to pass them when making request to other endpoints.

You can use the HttpClientWrapper class in any of the following ways: ​

Using Facade ​

use MusahMusah\LaravelMultipaymentGateways\Facades\Flutterwave;

// Example of making get request 
$response = Flutterwave::httpClient()->get('/banks/056');
dd($response);

Using Helper ​

 // this will make a get request to the endpoint https://api.flutterwave.com/banks/056
 $response = flutterwave()->httpClient()->get('/banks/056');
 dd($response);

Using Dependency Injection ​

use MusahMusah\LaravelMultipaymentGateways\Contracts\FlutterwaveContract;

class FlutterwavePaymentController extends Controller
{
    public function initiatePayment(Request $request, FlutterwaveContract $flutterwave)
    {
        // this will make a get request to the endpoint https://api.flutterwave.com/banks/056
        $response = $flutterwave->httpClient()->get('/banks/056');
        dd($response);
    }
}

With the above example, you can make request to any Flutterwave endpoint you want. This ensures the package is flexible and can be used to make request to any endpoint of the payment gateway you are using.

All HTTP Methods Available ​

The HttpClientWrapper class provides access to all the HTTP methods available in the GuzzleHttp\Client class. The methods are:

• get
• post
• put
• patch
• delete
