README

PHP implementation of the Nimiq RPC client specs.

Usage

Send requests to a Nimiq node using a NimiqCommunity\RpcClient\NimiqClient object.

$config = [
    'scheme' => 'http',
    'host' => '127.0.0.1',
    'port' => 8648,
    'user' => 'luna',
    'password' => 'moon',
    'timeout' => false,
];

$client = new \NimiqCommunity\RpcClient\NimiqClient($config);

Once we have the client, we can start communicating with the Nimiq node. If no $config object is given in constructor it will use same defaults as the Nimiq node defaults.

$client = new \NimiqCommunity\RpcClient\NimiqClient();

// make rpc call to get the block number
$blockNumber = $client->getBlockNumber();

echo $blockNumber; // displays the block number, for example 748883

API

The complete API documentation is available in the /docs folder.

Installation

The recommended way to install Nimiq PHP Client is with Composer. Composer is a dependency management tool for PHP that allows you to declare the dependencies your project needs and installs them into your project.

# Install Composer
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can add Nimiq PHP Client as a dependency using the composer.phar CLI:

php composer.phar require nimiq-community/php-client

Alternatively, you can specify it as a dependency in your project's existing composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "nimiq-community/php-client": "^1.0"
    }
}

After installing, you need to require Composer's autoloader:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

You can find out more on how to install Composer, configure autoloading, and other best-practices for defining dependencies at getcomposer.org.
