This library implement some useful util classes for resolving recurrent issues in Rest(ful) APIs (i.e: Error handling).

Description

Rest utilitary library for PHP

Installation

Using Composer, just $ composer require tbbc/rest-util package or:

{
  "require": {
    "tbbc/rest-util": "dev-master"
  }
}

Usage

Converting Exception into Error object:

1. First you have to define an ExceptionMapping, for the sake of the example, we use PHP, but a YamlLoader is also available:

// Exception mapping configuration
$invalidArgumentExceptionMapping = new ExceptionMapping(array(
    'exceptionClassName'   => '\InvalidArgumentException',
    'factory'              => 'default',
    'httpStatusCode'       => 400,
    'errorCode'            => 400101,
    'errorMessage'         => null,
    'errorExtendedMessage' => 'Extended message',
    'errorMoreInfoUrl'     => 'http://api.my.tld/doc/error/400101',
));

2. The ExceptionMapping must be added to ExceptionMap:

$exceptionMap = new ExceptionMap();
$exceptionMap->add($invalidArgumentExceptionMapping);

3. We plug the ErrorResolver with an ErrorFactory, a DefaultErrorFactory is bundled within the lib:

// Error resolver initialization
$errorResolver       = new ErrorResolver($exceptionMap);
$defaultErrorFactory = new DefaultErrorFactory();
$errorResolver->registerFactory($defaultErrorFactory);

4. Resolve error!

$exception = new \InvalidArgumentException('This is an invalid argument exception');
$error     = $errorResolver->resolve($exception);

5. The $error variable is now assigned an ErrorInterface object which implements a toArray() method to allow easy serialization method of your choice:

print_r($error->toArray());
/* will output
Array
(
    [http_status_code] => 400
    [code]             => 400101
    [message]          => This is an invalid argument exception.
    [extended_message] => Extended message
    [more_info_url]    => http://api.my.tld/doc/error/400101
)
*/

echo json_encode($error->toArray());
/* And voilà! You get a ready to use json normalized error response body
{
    "http_status_code": 400,
    "code":             400101,
    "message":          "This is an invalid argument exception.",
    "extended_message": "Extended message",
    "more_info_url":    "http:\/\/api.my.tld\/doc\/error\/400101"
}
*/

For more concrete real life usage, take a look at our bundle for integrating the lib into a Symfony application: TbbcRestUtilBundle.

Run the test

First make sure you have installed all the dependencies, run:

$ composer install --dev

then, run the test from within the root directory:

$ vendor/bin/phpunit
