I want to consume a service like this
https://server.com/api/plate-number/{{plate_value}}/assistance
where plate_value is a dynamic variable.
I think i will do a form to consume this service and handle Json response.
Can i do with laravel and guzzle? Or is too much work for this?
Thx a lot
yes you can use Http to make your request:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$plate_value="your value";
$response = Http::get("https://server.com/api/plate-number/$plate_value/assistance");
dd($response->json());
laravel document
This is fairly simple with Laravels Http facade. Concatenate the string, by using "" string literals and set plate value in your URL and the rest is just utilizing the facade.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Http;
$plateValue = 42;
$response = Http::get("https://server.com/api/plate-number/$plateValue/assistance");
// Get JSON
$result = $response->json();
// Get string
$result = $response->body();
For this to work you need guzzle installed.
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

I have Postman API requests (POST request) containing grant_type = 'password', username = 'abc', password='xyz'. By passing this I get an token = 'xxx' and token_type = 'Bearer'. How do I write an phpunit test in laravel for such api requests?
you can make a test by php artisan make test:PassportTest.
Then you can use
$response = $this->json('POST','/api/token',['grant_type'=>'password','username'='abc','password'=>'xyz']);
$response-> assertJsonStructure([
'token'=>'xxx',
'token_type'=>'Bearer'
]);
You can also use $response->assertDatabaseHas($tokenTable,$data) to check if there is a record in you databse;
Cant see your database structures,so you need a little change to suit your own project.
I am currently creating Rest API for Android Team using Laravel 5.2 and testing the API in RESTCLIENT.
I am just trying to get the form values which are entered in Restclient with POST method.
I have problem with POST method.. I m just not able to get the form field values. My API for GET method works fine.
Kindly guide me.
Thanks
This is how you handle POST request in laravel. Be it 5.2 or 5.4.
Route::post('books', 'BookController#store');
Controller
pubic function store(Request $request)
{
$name = $request->name;
$name = $request->get('name');
$name = request('name'); //global helper
//Your testing with api so you should return to api if you want to see it
return response()->json($name);
}
Then check in Android console if you receive $name in JSON format.
I have a URL like http://localhost:8000/assessment/3/199
Where 3 represents assignment id and 199 represents assessor id, in short they both represents two models.
I'm sending such URL into email. I want to first encrypt the URL and then send it to the email.
I want URL like http://localhost:8000/assessment/{some-long-random-string}
So, I want to merge both the parameters, make an encrypted string, send into email, upon accessing the URL decrypt it and get both actual parameters.
I would like a solution which uses Laravel to implement that.
May be using these:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/encryption
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/hashing
The way I would tackle this, is by manually implementing it in a controller.
Generate the URL like this:
$url = URL::action('AssessmentController#decrypt', json_encode([
'assessment' => $assessment_id,
'assessor' => $assessor_id
]);
//now, use $url in your email
Create a route like:
Route::get('/assessment/{ciphertext}', 'AssessmentController#decrypt');
In the controller:
public function decrypt($ciphertext){
$params = json_decode(decrypt($ciphertext));
return $this->getAssessment($params['assessment'], $params['assessor']);
}
Of course, you will need more integrity-checks and some error handling, but you probably get the idea.
Is there a way, in Laravel 5, to call routes internally/programmatically from within the application? I've found a lot of tutorials for Laravel 4, but I cannot find the information for version 5.
Using laravel 5.5, this method worked for me:
$req = Request::create('/my/url', 'POST', $params);
$res = app()->handle($req);
$responseBody = $res->getContent();
// or if you want the response to be json format
// $responseBody = json_decode($res->getContent(), true);
Source:
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/route-dispatch
*note: maybe you will have issue if the route you're trying to access
has authentication middleware and you're not providing the right credentials.
to avoid this, be sure to set the correct headers required so that the request is processed normally (eg Authorisation bearer ...).
UPDATE: i've tried this method with laravel 8 and it works but if you're using PHP version 8.0 you might need to call opcache_reset(); before this line $req = Request::create('/my/url', 'POST', $params); to avoid an error.
see guzzlehttp/guzzle dosn't work after update php to php 8 for more info
You may try something like this:
// GET Request
$request = Request::create('/some/url/1', 'GET');
$response = Route::dispatch($request);
// POST Request
$request = Request::create('/some/url/1', 'POST', Request::all());
$response = Route::dispatch($request);
You can actually call the controller that associates to that route instead of 'calling' the route internally.
For example:
Routes.php
Route::get('/getUser', 'UserController#getUser');
UserController.php
class UserController extends Controller {
public function getUser($id){
return \App\User::find($id);
};
}
Instead of calling /getUser route, you can actually call UserController#getUser instead.
$ctrl = new \App\Http\Controllers\UserController();
$ctrl->getUser(1);
This is the same as calling the route internally if that what you mean. Hope that helps
// this code based on laravel 5.8
// I tried to solve this using guzzle first . but i found guzzle cant help me while I
//am using same port. so below is the answer
// you may pass your params and other authentication related data while calling the
//end point
public function profile(){
// '/api/user/1' is my api end please put your one
//
$req = Request::create('/api/user/1', 'GET',[ // you may pass this without this array
'HTTP_Accept' => 'application/json',
'Content-type' => 'application/json'
]);
$res = app()->handle($req);
$responseBody = json_decode($res->getContent()); // convert to json object using
json_decode and used getcontent() for getting content from response
return response()->json(['msg' =>$responseBody ], 200); // return json data with
//status code 200
}
None of these answers worked for me: they would either not accept query parameters, or could not use the existing app() instance (needed for config & .env vars).
I want to call routes internally because I'm writing console commands to interface with my app's API.
Here's what I did that works well for me:
<?php // We're using Laravel 5.3 here.
namespace App\Console;
use App\MyModel;
use App\MyOtherModel;
use App\Http\Controllers\MyController;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class MyCommand extends Command
{
protected $signature = 'mycommand
{variable1} : First variable
{variable2} : Another variable';
public function handle()
{
// Set any required headers. I'm spoofing an AJAX request:
request()->headers->set('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');
// Set your query data for the route:
request()->merge([
'variable1' => $this->argument('variable1'),
'variable2' => $this->argument('variable2'),
]);
// Instantiate your controller and its dependencies:
$response = (new MyController)->put(new MyModel, new MyOtherModel);
// Do whatever you want with the response:
var_dump($response->getStatusCode()); // 200, 404, etc.
var_dump($response->getContent()); // Entire response body
// See what other fun stuff you can do!:
var_dump(get_class_methods($response));
}
}
Your Controller/Route will work exactly as if you had called it using curl. Have fun!
I am using Laravel 4.
I have an old url that needs to be routable. It doesn't really matter what it's purpose is but it exists within the paypal systems and will be called regularly but cannot be changed (which is ridiculous I know).
I realise that this isn't the format url's are supposed to take in Laravel, but this is the url that will be called and I need to find a way to route it:
http://domain.com/forum/index.php?app=subscriptions&r_f_g=xxx-paypal
(xxx will be different on every request)
I can't figure out how to route this with laravel, i'd like to route it to the method PaypalController#ipbIpn so i've tried something like this:
Route::post('forum/index.php?app=subscriptions&r_f_g={id}-paypal', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
But this doesn't work, infact I can't even get this to work:
Route::post('forum/index.php', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
But this will:
Route::post('forum/index', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
So the question is how can I route the url, as it is at the top of this question, using Laravel?
For completeness I should say that this will always be a post not a get, but that shouldn't really make any difference to the solution.
Use this:
Route::post('forum/{file}', 'PaypalController#ipbIpn');
And then in the controller, use
public function forum($file) {
$request = Route::getRequest();
$q = (array) $request->query; // GET
$parameters = array();
foreach($q as $key => $pararr) {
$parameters = array_merge($parameters, $pararr);
}
}
You can then access the get parameters via e.g.
echo $parameters['app'];
you can use route redirection to mask and ending .php route ex:
Route::get('forum/index', ['uses'=> 'PaypalController#ipbIpn']);
Route::redirect('forum/index.php', 'forum/index');
