Inject a new HTTP client instance

php-github-api relies on php-http/discovery to find an installed HTTP client. You may specify an HTTP client yourself by calling \Github\Client::setHttpClient. An HTTP client must implement Http\Client\HttpClient. A list of community provided clients is found here: https://packagist.org/providers/php-http/client-implementation

You can inject an HTTP client through the Github\Client constructor:

$client = Github\Client::createWithHttpClient(new Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client());

Example

To use the symfony http client

composer require symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7

To set up the GitHub client with this http client

use Github\Client;
use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttplugClient;

$client = Client::createWithHttpClient(new HttplugClient());

Configure the HTTP client

Wanna change, let's say, the HTTP client User Agent? You need to create a Plugin that modifies the request. Read more about HTTPlug plugins here.

use Http\Client\Common\Plugin;
use Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface;

class CustomUserAgentPlugin implements Plugin
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function handleRequest(RequestInterface $request, callable $next, callable $first)
    {
        $request->withHeader('user-agent', 'Foobar');

        return $next($request);
    }
}

$httpBuilder = new Github\HttpClient\Builder(new Http\Adapter\Guzzle6\Client());
$httpBuilder->addPlugin(new CustomUserAgentPlugin());

$client = new Github\Client($httpBuilder);
