CakePHP Adapter (deprecated)

This adapter only implements the PHP-HTTP synchronous interface. This interface has been superseded by PSR-18, which the CakePHP HTTP client implements directly.

Installation

To install the CakePHP adapter, which will also install CakePHP itself (if it was not yet included in your project), run:

$ composer require php-http/cakephp-adapter

Usage

Begin by creating a CakePHP HTTP client, passing any configuration parameters you like:

use Cake\Http\Client as CakeClient;

$config = [
    // Config params
];
$cakeClient = new CakeClient($config);

Then create the adapter:

use Http\Adapter\Cake\Client as CakeAdapter;

$adapter = new CakeAdapter($cakeClient);

Note

The client parameter is optional; if you do not supply it (or set it to null) the adapter will create a default CakePHP HTTP client without any options.

Or if you installed the discovery layer:

use Http\Adapter\Cake\Client as CakeAdapter;

$adapter = new CakeAdapter($cakeClient);

Warning

The message factory parameter is mandatory if the discovery layer is not installed.
