Client-side helpers for Crate.

This package has two surfaces:

• Consumer auth helper: write Composer HTTP Basic auth for a Crate registry.
• Issuer SDK: call a Crate deployment's admin-token gated /api/credentials endpoint.

Consumer Helper

Configure the customer app with the Crate registry URL and an issued registry credential:

CRATE_URL=https://crate.example.com
CRATE_TOKEN=issued-registry-credential

Generate Composer auth:

php artisan crate:auth

By default, crate:auth writes or merges auth.json in the current working directory. It adds this shape:

{
  "http-basic": {
    "crate.example.com": {
      "username": "token",
      "password": "issued-registry-credential"
    }
  }
}

Use a different path with --path:

php artisan crate:auth --path=/path/to/auth.json

Print the JSON instead of writing a file with --print, which is useful for COMPOSER_AUTH in CI:

export COMPOSER_AUTH="$(php artisan crate:auth --print)"

Then configure Composer to use the Crate registry and require packages normally:

composer config repositories.crate composer https://crate.example.com
composer require vendor/pkg

Issuer SDK

Use CrateIssuer in the operator's own Laravel app to issue and revoke credentials around billing, onboarding, or access logic that you own.

Configure the issuer client:

CRATE_ISSUER_URL=https://crate.example.com
CRATE_ADMIN_TOKEN=admin-ability-token
CRATE_ISSUER_RETRIES=2
CRATE_ISSUER_RETRY_SLEEP=100

CRATE_ISSUER_URL defaults to CRATE_URL when omitted.

Example:

use ArtisanBuild\CrateClient\CrateIssuer;

$issuer = CrateIssuer::fromConfig();

$credential = $issuer->issue('build-bot');
$tokens = $issuer->list();
$issuer->revoke('build-bot');

The SDK calls:

• POST /api/credentials for issue(...), returning an ArtisanBuild\CrateContracts\Credential with plaintext shown once.
• GET /api/credentials for list(), returning metadata without plaintext.
• DELETE /api/credentials/{name} for revoke(...).

Requests use Bearer auth with the configured admin token, accept JSON, retry transient failures according to config, and throw on non-2xx responses.
