Access an API using laravel

posted 10 years ago

Hello,

I have an API called restclient.php. What basically happens is that I'll include the restclient.php in any page I want to use it and then I can access a class say $testApi = new apiTest ();

what I did with laravel is to include restclient.php in global and try to use $testApi = new apiTest (); but I keep getting class not found error.

I will appreciate it if anyone can direct me.

Thanks

You have to autoload from your composer.json


{
    "autoload": {
        "files": ["restclient.php"]
    }
}

"./composer.json" does not contain valid JSON

Expected one of: 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', ']'

You must have a missing comma somewhere. Paste your composer.json.

Solution

"files" should be outside of "classmap"
