在 Laravel 包开发中使用 Guzzle

Question

Recently i am working on a package for Laravel.

I am at beginner level on Laravel Package Development.

I need to use Guzzle Client for an API request from this package.

If i use use GuzzleHttp\\Client; in my controller, it's showing class not found. (I know why. because it's outside of app folder and not autoloaded for this path)

Now, how can i use guzzle inside of my custom package controller.

Here what i wanting:

This is my controller method:

 public function packageList($vendor, $type)
    {
        $client = new Client();
        $result = $client->get('https://packagist.org/packages/list.json?vendor='.$vendor.'&type='.$type, [
            'form_params' => [
                'sample-form-data' => 'value'
            ]
        ]);

        dd($result);
    }

I attached classes of Guzzle

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;

Getting Exception:

Class 'GuzzleHttp\Client' not found

Found this answer on stack with the same question

Open up your terminal at the root of your project and enter

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

It worked for the mailgun API. For some reason, the suggested method at the laravel's mail doc. You may install this package to your project by adding the following line to your composer.json file

"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.3|~6.0"

doesn't make the composer download the Guzzle source codes. By the way, I didn't find out what | means in determining the version. This command just downloads the PSR code.

In this moment, the solution may work. However, be aware of compatibility issues. Because the command would install the latest stable version, not the suitable one.
