SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Saloon-based service layer pattern for all external API integrations. Every new external API integration must use Saloon — no raw HTTP calls.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a Saloon-based service layer for all external API integrations
  • No raw HTTP calls; promotes modular, testable connectors and requests
  • Organize each external integration under app/Services/{ServiceName}/ with a dedicated connector, Requests, and DataObjects
  • Supports dependency injection of connectors for testability and easier mocking
  • Centralizes error handling and response parsing

Quick Start

Follow the standard pattern to implement a Saloon-based integration by creating a Connector, Request classes, and DataObjects under app/Services/YourService, then inject the connector into your service.

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize external API calls in Laravel?▼

Standardize external API calls in Laravel by implementing a Saloon-based service layer, replacing raw HTTP requests with modular connectors and request classes. This enforces a consistent, testable structure for all external integrations.

What is the best way to structure a Laravel service layer for API integrations?▼

The best way to structure a Laravel service layer is organizing each external integration under app/Services/{ServiceName}/ with a dedicated connector, request classes, and DataObjects. This centralizes response parsing and error handling.

How do I mock external API requests in Laravel for testing?▼

Mock external API requests in Laravel by injecting Saloon-compatible connector classes into your services. This dependency injection isolates the HTTP layer, allowing you to easily mock responses and test service logic.

Does Saloon work with Laravel dependency injection?▼

Yes, Saloon works with Laravel dependency injection by supporting connector injection for testability. You can inject Saloon-compatible connector classes directly into your service layer to streamline mocking and external API interactions.

When should I use Saloon instead of raw HTTP calls in Laravel?▼

Use Saloon instead of raw HTTP calls in Laravel when you need standardized, testable API integrations with clear separation between connectors and requests. Saloon centralizes error handling and enforces a strict service layer pattern.
