Making Request to Other Endpoints
Given that our Paystack
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 Paystack
facade, paystack()
helper or through dependency injection using the PaystackContract
interface. The HttpClientWrapper
class, is designed to extract some of the configurations from the Paystack
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
php
use MusahMusah\LaravelMultipaymentGateways\Facades\Paystack;
// Example of making http post request
$fields = [
"email" => "customer@email.com",
"first_name" => "Zero",
"last_name" => "Sum",
"phone" => "+2348123456789"
];
// this will make a post request to https://api.paystack.co/customer as get request
$response = Paystack::httpClient()->post('customer', $fields);
dd($response);
Using Helper
php
// Example of making http post request
$fields = [
"email" => "customer@email.com",
"first_name" => "Zero",
"last_name" => "Sum",
"phone" => "+2348123456789"
];
// this will make a post request to https://api.paystack.co/customer as post request
$response = paystack()->httpClient()->post('customer', $fields);
dd()
Using Dependency Injection
php
use MusahMusah\LaravelMultipaymentGateways\Contracts\PaystackContract;
class PaystackPaymentController extends Controller
{
public function initiatePayment(Request $request, PaystackContract $paystack)
{
// Example of making http post request
$fields = [
"email" => "customer@email.com",
"first_name" => "Zero",
"last_name" => "Sum",
"phone" => "+2348123456789"
];
// this will make a post request to https://api.paystack.co/customer as post request
$response = $paystack->httpClient()->post('customer', $fields);
}
}
With the above example, you can make request to any Paystack
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
