symfony/http-client-contracts v3.4.2

The Symfony HttpClient Contracts package provides a set of abstract protocols related to HTTP clients. These abstractions have been delicately carved out from the Symfony components, making use of battle-tested implementations proven to be effective and useful. This package aids in making your HTTP client management more efficient and streamlined.

To use Symfony HttpClient Contracts, you'll need to include the package in your project using Composer first. This can be done using the command composer require symfony/http-client-contracts.

Once the package is included in your PHP project, you can use the HTTP client contracts by calling the relevant methods provided by this package. Here's a basic implementation to fetch a web page content for instance:

use Symfony\Contracts\HttpClient\HttpClientInterface;

class YourClass
{
    private $client;

    public function __construct(HttpClientInterface $client)
    {
        $this->client = $client;
    }

    public function fetchContent(string $url): string
    {
        $response = $this->client->request('GET', $url);

        // returns the HTTP body and throws a TransportExceptionInterface if an error happened during the request
        return $response->getContent();
    }
}

This shows how to use dependency injection to inject the HttpClientInterface into your class and use it to make a request.
