README

haveapi-client-php is a PHP client for HaveAPI based APIs.

Requirements

Installation

haveapi-client-php can be installed with composer, add haveapi/client to your composer.json:

{
	"require": {
		"haveapi/client": "*"
	}
}

You can also clone this repository and use a PSR-4 compatible autoloader, or include bootstrap.php, which loads all necessary classes. When using the repository, you have to install Httpful yourself.

Usage

First check out the API documentation, see how it works and what resources/actions are available.

Create a client instance:

$api = new \HaveAPI\Client("http://your.api.tld");

Authenticate with HTTP basic:

$api->authenticate('basic', ['user' => 'yourname', 'password' => 'password']);

Authenticate with token:

$api->authenticate('token', ['user' => 'yourname', 'password' => 'password']);

When using the token authentication, it is usually necessary to save the token for later use:

$token = $api->getAuthenticationProvider()->getToken();

Next time, authenticate with the previously received token:

$api->authenticate('token', ['token' => $token]);

Access resources and actions as array indexes

$api['vps']['index']->call();
$api['vps']['show']->call(101);

or

$api['vps.index']->call();
$api['vps.show']->call(101);

Access resources and actions as properties/methods

$api->vps->list();

Arguments can be supplied to resources and/or to the action.

$api->vps->find(101);
$api->vps->ip_address->delete(101, 10);

$api->vps(101)->find();
$api->vps(101)->ip_address(10)->delete();
$api->vps(101)->ip_address->delete(10);

Parameters

Parameters are given as an array to action. It is the last argument given to action. Object IDs must be in front of it.

$api->vps->create([
	'hostname' => 'myhostname',
	'template' => 1
]);

$api->vps->ip_address->create(101, ['version' => 4]);
$api->vps(101)->ip_address->create(['version' => 4]);

Object-like behaviour

Fetch existing resource:

$vps = $api->vps->find(101);
echo $vps->id . "<br>";
echo $vps->hostname . "<br>";
$vps->hostname = 'gotcha';
$vps->save();

Create a new instance:

$vps = $api->vps->newInstance();
$vps->hostname = 'new vps';
$vps->save();
echo $vps->id . "<br>";

List of resources:

$vpses = $api->vps->list();

foreach($vpses as $vps) {
	echo $vps->id ." = ". $vps->hostname ."<br>";
}

Response

If the action does not return object or object list, \HaveAPI\Client\Response class is returned instead.

$vps = $api->vps->find(101);
$response = $vps->custom_action();

print_r($response->getResponse());

Parameters can be accessed directly as:

echo $response['hostname'];

Error handling

If an action fails, exception \HaveAPI\Client\Exception\ActionFailed is thrown. Authentication errors result in exception \HaveAPI\Client\Exception\AuthenticationFailed.

try {
	$api->vps->create();

} catch(\HaveAPI\Client\Exception\ActionFailed $e) {
	echo $e->getMessage();
	print_r($e->getErrors());
}

When trying to access a resource or an action that does not exist, \HaveAPI\Client\Exception\ObjectNotFound is thrown. Also, invoking an action without all necessary arguments (object IDs) results in \HaveAPI\Client\Exception\UnresolvedArguments exception.

All exceptions thrown by the client are a subclass of \HaveAPI\Client\Exception\Base.
