Saloon Integration (phpdevkits style)

Use this skill when working inside a SaloonPHP-based SDK in this repo's shape — single Connector extending Saloon's Connector, organized by Resources/ + Requests/ + Data/ + Enums/ + Exceptions/, with recorded Saloon fixtures driving Pest tests at 100% coverage.

For general Pest / factory conventions that aren't Saloon-specific (no it(), factories under tests/Factories/, exception-test styles), see the pest-package-tests skill — this skill assumes those and only covers the Saloon side.

Quick start

A minimal slice (one resource, one request, one DTO, one fixture-backed test):

php
// src/Data/Widget.php
final readonly class Widget implements JsonSerializable {
    public function __construct(public string $id, public string $name) {}
    public static function from(array $data): self { /* hydration + validation */ }
    public function jsonSerialize(): array { /* snake_case */ }
}

// src/Requests/GetWidget.php
final class GetWidget extends Request {
    protected Method $method = Method::GET;
    public function __construct(private readonly int|string $id) {}
    #[Override] public function resolveEndpoint(): string {
        return sprintf('/widgets/%s', $this->id);
    }
}

// src/Resources/WidgetResource.php
final class WidgetResource extends BaseResource {
    public function get(): Widget {
        $data = $this->connector->send(new GetWidget($this->id))->json('data');
        return Widget::from($data);
    }
}

// tests/Unit/Resources/WidgetResourceTest.php
test('get() returns a hydrated Widget', function (): void {
    $mockClient = new MockClient([
        GetWidget::class => new WidgetFixture('widgets/get'),
    ]);
    $sdk = new MySdk('token')->withMockClient($mockClient);
    expect($sdk->widget(1)->get())->toBeInstanceOf(Widget::class);
});

The WidgetFixture is a project-local subclass of a base Tests\Utils\<SdkName>Fixture that adds resource-specific redaction rules — see TESTING.md.

Rule index

1. Architecture → rules/architecture.md —

namespace layout, connector responsibilities, exception hierarchy, org-context / nested-resource chains.

1. Resources → rules/resources.md — collection

vs. item resources, ParsesPage for cursor pagination, iterate() helpers, action methods, write-DTO patterns.

1. DTOs → rules/data.md — readonly output DTOs

(from() / jsonSerialize()), input DTOs (toArray() stripping nulls), when to add enums.

1. Requests → rules/requests.md — Request

class shape, HasJsonBody body trait, query params via defaultQuery(), common Saloon API gotchas.

1. Testing & fixtures → rules/testing.md —

ForgeFixture-style PII redaction, no MockResponse::make(), no hand-crafted fixtures, lifecycle tests with try/finally cleanup.

1. Recording workflow → rules/recording.md —

.env setup, Saloon auto-record default, poisoned-fixture recovery, cursor-walk recording.

1. Pitfalls → rules/pitfalls.md — common

spec-vs-runtime mismatches, Saloon traps (#[Override] on defaultBody(), MockClient class-vs-sequence mode, clone helpers dropping the mock), coverage attribution quirks.

How to apply

1. Confirm you're in a SaloonPHP-based SDK matching the namespace

layout in rules/architecture.md. If not, this skill doesn't apply — fall back to upstream Saloon docs.

1. Identify which slice you're building (a new resource? new endpoint

on an existing resource?). Read the matching rule file before writing code.

1. For new resources, scaffold the DTO + factory first, then the request

class, then the resource, then the test. Run the test once with no fixture to record from the live API.

1. Whenever Forge's actual response surprises you, append to

docs/FINDINGS.md with the date — see rules/pitfalls.md for the entry template.
