Laravel ParkingHub

laravel-parking-hub is a Laravel package designed to create a unified and consistent way to interact with different parking service APIs (e.g., Parkeon, My Cicero). It aims to standardize the input and output of parking validation requests, making it easier to integrate and manage multiple parking providers.

Key features:

  • Standardized Data Transfer Objects (DTOs): Defines DTOs for representing standard responses from parking service APIs, ensuring consistency across different providers.
  • Unified Interface: Provides a common interface for executing parking validation requests (e.g., checking license plates) across different services.
  • Response Standardization: Standardizes the response format, including status (success/error), parking validity, and expiration details.
  • Easy Integration: Simplifies the integration of new parking service providers by providing a clear structure for data mapping and response handling.

Prerequisites

  • Laravel v10, v11 and v12
  • PHP 8.3 or higher

Installation

composer require oltrematica/laravel-parking-hub

Usage Guide

Configuration

  1. Publish the configuration file: To customize the default configuration, publish the parking-hub.php config file using the following Artisan command:

    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Oltrematica\\ParkingHub\\ParkingHubServiceProvider" --tag="parking-hub-config"

    This will create a config/parking-hub.php file in your application's config directory.

  2. Configure Your Drivers: Open the config/parking-hub.php file. Here you can define and configure your parking drivers.

    • Default Driver: Set the default_driver option to specify the driver to be used when no driver is explicitly chosen.

      'default_driver' => env('PARKING_HUB_DEFAULT_DRIVER', 'easypark'),
    • Driver Settings: Under the drivers array, configure each provider. Each driver configuration must include a class key, which specifies the class that implements the Oltrematica\\ParkingHub\\Contracts\\ParkingValidator interface. You will also add provider-specific settings like API keys, endpoints, etc.

      'drivers' => [
          'easypark' => [
              'class' => YourVendor\\LaravelEasyPark\\EasyParkValidator::class, // Replace with the actual validator class
              'api_url' => env('EASYPARK_API_URL', 'https://cityname.parkinghub.net/restresources'),
              'username' => env('EASYPARK_USERNAME'),
              'password' => env('EASYPARK_PASSWORD'),
              // other configuration options specific to EasyPark
          ],
      
          'mycicero' => [
              'class' => YourVendor\\LaravelMyCicero\\MyCiceroValidator::class, // Replace with the actual validator class
              'username' => env('MYCICERO_USERNAME'),
              'password' => env('MYCICERO_PASSWORD'),
              'soap' => [
                  'endpoint' => env('MYCICERO_SOAP_ENDPOINT', 'https://cldweb.autobus.it/proxy.imomo/api/wsisosta_verifica'),
                  'namespace' => env('MYCICERO_SOAP_NAMESPACE', 'http://pluservice.net/ISosta'),
                  // ... other MyCicero specific SOAP settings
              ],
          ],
      
          'parkeon' => [
              'class' => Oltrematica\\ParkingHub\\Validators\\ParkeonValidator::class, // Example, replace with actual
              'username' => env('PARKEON_USERNAME'),
              'password' => env('PARKEON_PASSWORD'),
              'endpoint' => env('PARKEON_ENDPOINT', 'https://parkeon.services/jlab/rest/1/pbs/getTransactions'),
              // other configuration options specific to Parkeon
          ],
      
          // Add other parking providers here
      ],

    Ensure you have the necessary environment variables (e.g., EASYPARK_USERNAME, MYCICERO_PASSWORD) set in your .env file.

Basic Usage

You can interact with the parking drivers through the ParkingHub facade or by resolving the manager from the service container.

Using the Facade

use Oltrematica\\ParkingHub\\Facades\\ParkingHub;
use Carbon\\Carbon;

// Check plate using the default driver
$response = ParkingHub::checkPlate('AA123BB', Carbon::now());

// Check plate using a specific driver
$responseEasypark = ParkingHub::driver('easypark')->checkPlate('AA123BB', Carbon::now());
$responseMyCicero = ParkingHub::driver('mycicero')->checkPlate('CC456DD', Carbon::now());

// The $response will be an instance of Oltrematica\ParkingHub\DTOs\ParkingValidationResponseData
if ($response->isValid) {
    // Parking is valid
    echo "Plate {$response->plate} parking is valid. Ends at: " . ($response->parkingEndTime ? $response->parkingEndTime->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') : 'N/A');
} else {
    // Parking is not valid or an error occurred
    echo "Plate {$response->plate} parking is not valid. Status: {$response->responseStatus->value}";
}

Resolving from the Container

use Oltrematica\\ParkingHub\\Support\\Manager\\ParkingHubManager;
use Carbon\\Carbon;

// Resolve the manager
$parkingHubManager = app(ParkingHubManager::class);

// Check plate using the default driver
$response = $parkingHubManager->driver()->checkPlate('AA123BB', Carbon::now());

// Check plate using a specific driver
$responseParkeon = $parkingHubManager->driver('parkeon')->checkPlate('EE789FF', Carbon::now());

Understanding the Response

The checkPlate method returns a Oltrematica\ParkingHub\DTOs\ParkingValidationResponseData object. This DTO contains the following properties:

  • responseStatus: An enum (Oltrematica\ParkingHub\Enums\ProviderInteractionStatus) indicating the outcome of the interaction with the provider (e.g., SUCCESS, ERROR_PROVIDER_UNREACHABLE, ERROR_INVALID_CREDENTIALS).
  • plate: The license plate number checked.
  • requestTimestamp: A CarbonInterface object representing when the request was initiated.
  • verificationTimestamp: A CarbonInterface object representing the date and time for which parking validity was checked.
  • isValid: A boolean indicating if the parking is valid for the given verificationTimestamp.
  • parkingEndTime: A CarbonInterface object indicating when the parking expires, or null if not applicable or unknown.
  • purchasedParkings: An array of Oltrematica\ParkingHub\DTOs\PurchasedParkingData objects, providing details of active parking sessions if available from the provider. Each PurchasedParkingData object has startDateTime and endDateTime.

Adding a New Driver

To add support for a new parking service provider:

  1. Create a Validator Class: Implement the Oltrematica\ParkingHub\Contracts\ParkingValidator interface. This class will handle the interaction with the provider's API. The checkPlate method should:

    • Accept the license plate number and verification date/time as parameters.
    • Handle API response (success, errors, authentication issues).
    • Map the provider's response to the fields of ParkingValidationResponseData.

    Example (replace with actual API interaction and mapping logic):

    public function checkPlate(string $plateNumber, CarbonInterface $verificationDateTime): ParkingValidationResponseData
    {
        $requestTimestamp = now();
    
        // Simulate an API call that finds a valid parking
        $isValid = false; // Determine from API response
        $parkingEndTime = null; // Determine from API response
        $purchasedParkings = []; // Populate if provider returns multiple active parkings
        $responseStatus = ProviderInteractionStatus::SUCCESS; // Set based on API interaction outcome
    
        if ($plateNumber === 'VALID123') {
            $isValid = true;
            $parkingEndTime = $verificationDateTime->copy()->addHours(2);
            $purchasedParkings[] = new \Oltrematica\ParkingHub\DTOs\PurchasedParkingData(
                startDateTime: $verificationDateTime->copy()->subHour(),
                endDateTime: $parkingEndTime
            );
        } elseif ($plateNumber === 'APIERROR') {
            $responseStatus = ProviderInteractionStatus::ERROR_PROVIDER_SPECIFIC;
        }
    
        return new ParkingValidationResponseData(
            responseStatus: $responseStatus,
            plate: $plateNumber,
            requestTimestamp: $requestTimestamp,
            verificationTimestamp: $verificationDateTime,
            isValid: $isValid,
            parkingEndTime: $parkingEndTime,
            purchasedParkings: $purchasedParkings
        );
    }
  2. Configure the New Driver: Add its configuration to the drivers array in config/parking-hub.php:

    'drivers' => [
        // ... other drivers
        'your_new_driver' => [
            'class' => YourVendor\\YourPackage\\YourNewDriverValidator::class,
            'api_key' => env('YOUR_NEW_DRIVER_API_KEY'),
            'api_secret' => env('YOUR_NEW_DRIVER_API_SECRET'),
            // other necessary configuration
        ],
    ],
  3. Use the New Driver:

    $response = ParkingHub::driver('your_new_driver')->checkPlate('XYZ789', Carbon::now());
