access connector property from request?

[wivaku]

Can I access the connector class from a request?

So: my connector contains a property shared by multiple requests.

I would like to achieve something like this in my request:

    public function resolveEndpoint(): string
    {
        $account = ...; // connector has $account set
        return "/account/{$account}/myendpoint";
    }

Another request might look like:

    public function resolveEndpoint(): string
    {
        $account = ...; // connector has $account set
        return "/client/{$account}/anotherendpoint";
    }

Hey @wivaku

Yes you can achieve this, however you would implement it slightly differently. It's a little hacky, but you can use the boot method to customise the request while it is being sent

use Saloon\Helpers\URLHelper;


class UserRequest extends Request
{
    /**
     * The HTTP method of the request
     */
    protected Method $method = Method::GET;

    /**
     * The endpoint for the request
     */
    public function resolveEndpoint(): string
    {
        return '/:account/myendpoint';
    }

    public function boot(PendingRequest $pendingRequest): void
    {
        $connector = $pendingRequest->getConnector();
        $baseUrl = $connector->resolveBaseUrl();

        $endpoint = str_replace($this->resolveEndpoint(), ':account', $connector->getAccount());

        $pendingRequest->setUrl(URLHelper::join($baseUrl, $endpoint));
    }
}

Above you can see I am replacing a placeholder :account with a method on the connector like getAccount.

Apologies there isn't an easier way to do this right now, I will be looking at adding a proper url API in Saloon v4.

Thanks for the reply. That's a useful workaround.
