Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services. … Middleware system allows you to augment and compose client behavior.Apr 22, 2018
How GuzzleHttp helps?
The idea is to create an endpoint at our back end, that we can make a request to the backend endpoint that contain those secret information that we need to keep secret. This way we can avoid to embed / hard coded all the important information on our javascript request each time..
Install the package on our Laravel.
composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
Make a route on our api. Let say AuthController
Route::post('/login','Auth\AuthController@login');
Create a controller route.
php artisan make:controller Auth/AuthController
Paste this on our controller
public function login(Request $request)
{
$http = new \GuzzleHttp\Client;
try{
$response = $http->post('http://localhost:8888/test/public/oauth/token',[
'form_params' => [
'grant_type' => 'password',
'client_id' => 2,
'client_secret' => 'Fi7uzcm31Luf3LTz5ZevBVL',
'username' => $request->username ,
'password' => $request->password ,
]
]);
return $response->getBody();
} catch (\GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException $e){
if($e->getCode()==400){
return response()->json('Invalid Request. Please enter a username or a password', $e->getCode());
}else if($e->getCode()==401){
return response()->json('Your credential is incorrect. Please try again.', $e->getCode());
}
return response()->json('Something wrong on the server.',$e->getCode());
}
}
