Example usage

Given we have an API method "/colors/by-name/{{ colorName }}" on external server that is returning:

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "id": 1,
        "color": "Black & Red"
    }
}

<?php

namespace Example;

// Color.php
class Color
{
    protected $id;
    protected $colorName;
    
    // getter, setter...
}

// ColorRepository.php
class ColorRepository extends AbstractApiRepository
{
    public function getColorByName($colorName)
    {
        return $this->reader->request('GET', '/colors/by-name/' . $this->escape($colorName), '', 3600)
            ->decode(Color::class);
    }
}

// ExampleController.php
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    public function viewAction()
    {
        $color = $this->getRepository()->getColorByName('Red & Black');
        dump($color);
    }
}

The result of our dump() should be an outputted object of Color type to the screen with private properties filled up.
