René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Add get + set for `$apiBase` to increase testability","articleBody":"We're currently integrating the ConvertAPI into our project. When writing a unit test, we tried to mock the ConvertApi class. This works fine to a certain extend. In a piece of code we have the following:\r\n\r\n`ConvertApi::$apiBase = 'eu-v2.convertapi.com';`\r\n\r\nWe use PhpUnit and Mockery to write tests, and currently mocking static properties is not supported. After some experimenting, we found the best solution would be to add a setter (like `setApiSecret`) so that we can finish our unit test. I think other people can also benefit from this, as it's not possible to write a unit test if you set a custom apiBase.\r\n\r\nThoughts about this? ~~I can open a PR if there's interest in this.~~ \r\nPR here: [https://github.com/ConvertAPI/convertapi-php/pull/28](https://github.com/ConvertAPI/convertapi-php/pull/28)\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/DanielGSoftware","@type":"Person","name":"DanielGSoftware"},"datePublished":"2022-03-31T13:28:15.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/27/convertapi-library-php/issues/27"}
