Laravel Nightwatch: Log outgoing requests from Saloon

Laravel Nightwatch has been released this morning, and on Unolia, we are using Saloon to make outgoing HTTP requests to our API. I wanted to log these requests in Nightwatch so I can see them in the dashboard.

To log outgoing requests from Saloon in Laravel Nightwatch, you'll need to create a custom HTTP sender that integrates Nightwatch's middleware.

Following the Saloon and Nightwatch documentation, create this new class wherever you need it, for example, in app/Http/HttpSender/LaravelSender.php:

Copied!

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\HttpSender;
 
use Laravel\Nightwatch\Facades\Nightwatch;
use Saloon\HttpSender\HttpSender;
 
class LaravelSender extends HttpSender
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
 
        $this->handlerStack->push(
            Nightwatch::guzzleMiddleware()
        );
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\HttpSender;

use Laravel\Nightwatch\Facades\Nightwatch;
use Saloon\HttpSender\HttpSender;

class LaravelSender extends HttpSender
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $this->handlerStack->push(
            Nightwatch::guzzleMiddleware()
        );
    }
}

And edit your config/saloon.php config file and change this line:

Copied!

'default_sender' => \App\Http\HttpSender\LaravelSender::class,

'default_sender' => \App\Http\HttpSender\LaravelSender::class,

Simple!

This extends the Laravel Saloon HTTP sender to include the Laravel Nightwatch middleware.

Now, whenever you make an outgoing request using Saloon, it will be logged in Laravel Nightwatch.
