The Connect PHP SDK allows you to push events to Connect from PHP.

If you don’t already have a Connect account, sign up here - it’s free!

Installation

The easiest way to install the Connect SDK is to use Composer.

Add connect/connect-client as a dependency and run composer update.

"require": {
    …
    "connect/connect-client" : "0.*"
    …
}

Usage

Initializing a client

use Connect\Connect;

Connect::initialize('your-project-id', 'your-push-api-key');

Pushing events

Once you have initialized Connect, you can push events easily:

$purchase = [
	'customer' => [
	   'firstName' => 'Tom',
	   'lastName' => 'Smith'
	],
	'product' => '12 red roses',
	'purchasePrice' => 34.95
];

Connect::push('purchases', $purchase);

You can also push events in batches:

$batch = [
	'purchases' => [
		[
            'customer' => [
                'firstName' => 'Tom',
                'lastName' => 'Smith'
			],
			'product' => '12 red roses',
			'purchasePrice' => 34.95
		],
		[
            'customer' => [
                'firstName' => 'Fred',
				'lastName' => 'Jones'
			],
			'product' => '12 pink roses',
			'purchasePrice' => 38.95
		]
	]
];

Connect::push($batch);

Generating filtered keys

To generate a filtered key

$masterKey = 'YOUR_MASTER_KEY';
$keyDefinition = [
    'filters' => [
        'type' => 'cycling'
    ],
    'canQuery' => True,
    'canPush' => True
];
	
$filteredKey = Connect::generateFilteredKey($keyDefinition, $masterKey);
print $filteredKey;

Exception handling

When pushing events, exceptions could be thrown, so you should either ignore or handle those exceptions gracefully.

Currently, the following exception could be thrown when pushing events:

InvalidEventException - the event being pushed is invalid (e.g. invalid event properties)
