README

This Laravel 4 package provides an interface for using Salesforce CRM through its SOAP API.

Major update notice (3.*)

I have recently changed this package structure for addressing this issue. This change will require the alias declaration into app/config/app.php once the package initialization is now deferred. Please verify aliases before upgrading existing implementations to use this version

Installation

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's composer.json file to require davispeixoto/laravel-salesforce.

    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.*",
        "davispeixoto/laravel-salesforce": "3.0.*"
    }

Next, update Composer from the Terminal:

    composer update

Once this operation completes, still in Terminal run:

	php artisan config:publish davispeixoto/laravel-salesforce

Configuration

Update the settings in the generated app/config/packages/davispeixoto/laravel-salesforce configuration file with your salesforce credentials.

Ensure you put your WSDL file into a proper place and make it readable by your Laravel Application.

IMPORTANT: the PHP Force.com Toolkit for PHP only works with Enterprise WSDL

Finally add the service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers and aliases arrays.

    'providers' => array(
        // other Laravel service providers ...
        'Davispeixoto\LaravelSalesforce\LaravelSalesforceServiceProvider'
    ),
    
    ...
    
    'aliases' => array(
        // other Laravel aliases
        'Salesforce' => 'Davispeixoto\LaravelSalesforce\Facades\Salesforce'
     );

That's it! You're all set to go. Just use:

    Route::get('/test', function() {
        try {
            echo print_r(Salesforce::describeLayout('Account'));
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            Log::error($e->getMessage());
            die($e->getMessage() . $e->getTraceAsString());
        }
    });
