=head1 NAME
WebService::HMRC::Response - Response object for the UK HMRC MTD API
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.02
=cut
our $VERSION = '0.02';
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebService::HMRC::HelloWorld; # inherits this module
my $hmrc = WebService::HMRC::HelloWorld->new();
# Hello World endpoint requires no authorisation
# It returns a WebService::HMRC::Response object reference
my $hmrc_response = $hmrc->hello_world()
print "success\n" if $hmrc_response->is_success();
my $status_code = $hmrc_response->http->code;
my $message = $hmrc_response->data->{message};
my $content_type = $hmrc_response->header('content-type');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is part of the L<WebService::HMRC> suite of Perl modules for
interacting with the UK's HMRC Making Tax Digital APIs.
This class represents the response from an api call. It is inherited by
other classes which implement bindings to HMRC APIs rather than being
used directly.
=head1 INSTALLATION AND TESTING
See documentation for L<WebService::HMRC>.
=head1 PROPERTIES
=head2 data
Reference to a perl hash representing an api call's json response.
This property is updated on object creation when the http property is set.
If an api call returns no valid json response, this property is
populated with a dummy response, in the same format as the standard
HRMC error response, with code 'INVALID_RESPONSE'. This facilitates
consistent error parsing by the calling application.
=cut
has data => (
is => 'rw',
isa => 'Maybe[HashRef]',
default => undef,
);
=head2 http
The raw HTTP::Response object resulting from an api call. See documentation
for L<HTTP::Response>.
=cut
has http => (
is => 'ro',
isa => 'HTTP::Response',
required => 1,
trigger => \&_parse_http_response,
handles => ['is_success', 'header'],
);
=head1 METHODS
=head2 is_success()
Shortcut to the HTTP::Response is_success method.
=head2 header($header_name)
Returns the value of the specified response header, or undef if it does
not exist. Shortcut to the HTTP::Response header method.
=cut
# PRIVATE METHODS
# _parse_http_response($http_response)
#
# Update this class's `data` property to reflect the json content of
# the supplied HTTP::Response object. Returns a reference to the Perl data
# structure representing the json response.
sub _parse_http_response {
my $self = shift;
my $http = shift;
# Under normal conditions, the api always returns json content
# even for error responses. But unusual error conditions could
# return content that is invalid json, which will cause the parser
# to croak. We therefore wrap it in a `try` block.
my $data = try {
return decode_json($http->decoded_content);
}
catch {
carp "unable to parse api response as json: $_";
# Create dummy error message with same format as HMRC
# error response to facilitate consistent error parsing by
# calling application.
return {
code => 'INVALID_RESPONSE',
message => 'No valid JSON data received from api call. '.
$http->status_line,
};
};
$self->data($data);
return $data;
