Making Request to Other Endpoints

Given that our Paystack service only provide access to the most common endpoints, you can make request to other endpoints we have not added to the service by using the HttpClientWrapper class. This class is a wrapper around the GuzzleHttp\Client class and it provides a simple way to make request to any endpoint. The HttpClientWrapper class is available through the Paystack facade, paystack() helper or through dependency injection using the PaystackContract interface. The HttpClientWrapper class, is designed to extract some of the configurations from the Paystack service so you that you don't have to pass them when making request to other endpoints.

You can use the HttpClientWrapper class in any of the following ways:

Using Facade

use MusahMusah\LaravelMultipaymentGateways\Facades\Paystack;

// Example of making http post request
 $fields = [
    "email" => "customer@email.com",
     "first_name" => "Zero",
     "last_name" => "Sum",
    "phone" => "+2348123456789"
 ];
 
 // this will make a post request to https://api.paystack.co/customer as get request
$response = Paystack::httpClient()->post('customer', $fields);
dd($response);

Using Helper

// Example of making http post request
  $fields = [
    "email" => "customer@email.com",
     "first_name" => "Zero",
     "last_name" => "Sum",
    "phone" => "+2348123456789"
 ];

// this will make a post request to https://api.paystack.co/customer as post request
 $response = paystack()->httpClient()->post('customer', $fields);
 dd()

Using Dependency Injection

use MusahMusah\LaravelMultipaymentGateways\Contracts\PaystackContract;

class PaystackPaymentController extends Controller
{
    public function initiatePayment(Request $request, PaystackContract $paystack)
    {
        // Example of making http post request
        $fields = [
            "email" => "customer@email.com",
             "first_name" => "Zero",
             "last_name" => "Sum",
            "phone" => "+2348123456789"
        ];
        // this will make a post request to https://api.paystack.co/customer as post request
        $response = $paystack->httpClient()->post('customer', $fields);
    }
}

With the above example, you can make request to any Paystack endpoint you want. This ensures the package is flexible and can be used to make request to any endpoint of the payment gateway you are using.

All HTTP Methods Available

The HttpClientWrapper class provides access to all the HTTP methods available in the GuzzleHttp\Client class. The methods are:

• get
• post
