When building your applications, you will probably end up needing to call APIs or fetch data from external sources. Leaf provides a simple and easy way to do this using Fetch. Fetch provides a clean and modern interface for making network requests in PHP. It is inspired by JavaScript's Fetch API, Axios and uses elements from Unirest PHP.

$res = fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/');

// data returned is saved in the $data property just like axios
response()->json($res->data);

You can also use the entire fetch object to make requests:

$res = fetch()->post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', [
  'title' => 'foo',
  'body' => 'bar',
  'userId' => 1
]);

fetch()->put(...);
fetch()->patch(...);
fetch()->delete(...);
fetch()->options(...);

response()->json($res->data);

Fetch is still in its early stages and is being actively developed. If you have any issues or suggestions, please feel free to open an issue or a pull request.

You can quickly install leaf fetch with the Leaf CLI

leaf install fetch

Or with composer:

composer require leafs/fetch

To report a security vulnerability, you can reach out to @mychidarko or @leafphp on twitter. We will coordinate the fix and eventually commit the solution in this project.

We are committed to keeping Leaf open-source and free, but maintaining and developing new features now requires significant time and resources. As the project has grown, so have the costs, which have been mostly covered by the team. To sustain and grow Leaf, we need your help to support full-time maintainers.
