Laravel HTTP to Curl

This package has two use-cases:

1. Simple dump and die with curl command for local development for troubleshooting the http request.
2. Enable logging curl command for each request in the logs.

Installation

You can pull in the package via composer:

composer require jigarakatidus/laravel-http-to-curl

The package will automatically register itself

Usage

Basic GET Request

Http::ddWithCurl()
    ->get('https://example.com/api/resource');

Outputs

curl -H 'User-Agent: GuzzleHttp/7' -X 'GET' 'https://example.com/api/resource'

GET Request with Query Parameters

Http::ddWithCurl()
    ->get('https://example.com/api/resource', [
        'param1' => 'value1',
        'param2' => 'value2',
    ]);

Outputs

curl -H 'User-Agent: GuzzleHttp/7' -X 'GET' 'https://example.com/api/resource?param1=value1&param2=value2'

POST Request with JSON Payload

Http::ddWithCurl()
    ->acceptJson()
    ->post('https://example.com/api/resource', [
        'key1' => 'value1',
        'key2' => 'value2',
    ]);

Outputs

curl -H 'User-Agent: GuzzleHttp/7' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X 'POST' 'https://example.com/api/resource' -d '{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}'

Automatic Request Logging

To enable the automatic logging of curl command for each request, configure these options directly through environment variables:

• HTTP_TO_CURL_LOGGING: Enable/disable logging (defaults to false)
• HTTP_TO_CURL_LOG_LEVEL: Set log level (defaults to "debug")
• HTTP_TO_CURL_LOG_CHANNEL: Select log channel (defaults to "stack")

Optionally, you can publish the configuration file using the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=http-to-curl-config

This will create a config/http-to-curl.php file where you can customize the logging behavior.

Logging Example

When you enable logging by setting HTTP_TO_CURL_LOGGING=true in your environment, all HTTP requests will be automatically logged. For example, if your application makes this request:

Http::post('https://api.example.com/users', [
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'email' => '[email protected]'
]);

This cURL command will be automatically logged to your configured log channel:

[2025-05-13 23:53:46] local.DEBUG: curl -H 'User-Agent: GuzzleHttp/7' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X 'POST' 'https://api.example.com/users' -d '{"name":"John Doe","email":"[email protected]"}'

This is useful for debugging API calls in both development and production environments.
