Guzzle HTTP POST request in laravel - laravel

Question

how to pass path parameter in guzzle HTTP Post request. I am having url like this - http://base_url/v1/rack/{id}/books
in my url {id} is the path parameter.
$addLibraryUrl = $base_url."v1/rack/{id}/book";
$headers["id"] = $id;
$requestContent['json'] = $data;
$client = new Client();
$response = $client->post($addLibraryUrl, [
"headers" => $headers,
"json" => json_encode($data)
]);

Answer 1

I dont think the latest guzzle uses URI templates, but the functionality to do the parameter replacing is still there:
$addLibraryUrl = \GuzzleHttp\uri_template($base_url. "v1/rack/{id}/book" , [
'id' => $id,
]);
Also you can just put the id into the URI yourself very easily.
$addLibraryUrl = $base_url."v1/rack/{$id}/book";
example:
blah.com/v1/rack/5/book

Answer 2

I solved my issue in this way:
$id = your_rack_id_value;
$client = new Client([ 'base_uri' => $base_url, ]);
$uri = 'v1/rack/.$id.'/book';
$requestEncodedData = json_encode($data);
$response = $client->post($uri, [
'body' => $requestEncodedData,
'headers' => [
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
]
]);

If you sent form params then you need to sent them as post params like :
// Initialize Guzzle client
$client = new GuzzleHttp\Client(['headers'=> 'Some headers']);
// Create a POST request
$response = $client->request(
'POST',
'http://yoururl.com',
[
'form_params' => [
'key1' => 'value1',
'key2' => 'value2'
]
]
);
Or like in your case change 'json' to form_params:
$addLibraryUrl = $base_url."v1/rack/{id}/book";
$headers["id"] = $id;
$requestContent['json'] = $data;
$client = new Client();
$response = $client->post($addLibraryUrl, [
"headers" => $headers,
"form_params" => json_encode($data)
]);
