Laracurl

Laravel cURL Wrapper for Andreas Lutro's OOP cURL Class

Installation

To install the package, simply add the following to your Laravel installation's composer.json file

"require": {
	"laravel/framework": "5.*",
	"zjango/laracurl": "dev-master"  
},

Run the usual composer update to pull the files. Then, add the following Service Provider to your providers array in your config/app.php config.

'providers' => array(
	...
	'Zjango\Laracurl\LaracurlServiceProvider',
);

And finally add a new line to the aliases array:

		'Laracurl'	=>	'Zjango\Laracurl\Facades\Laracurl',

Usage

Simple GET Request

$response = Laracurl::get('http://www.google.com');

Easily Build URL With Query String Attached

$url = Laracurl::buildUrl('http://www.google.com', ['s' => 'curl']);
$response = Laracurl::get($url);

post() accepts array of POST data

$url = Laracurl::buildUrl('http://api.somedomain.com', ['token' => 'token_val']);
$response = Laracurl::post($url, ['post' => 'data']);

Prefix 'json' to method to post as JSON

$response = Laracurl::jsonPut($url, ['post' => 'data']);

Prefix 'raw' to method to post as JSON

$response = Laracurl::rawPost($url, 'raw string data ...');
