README

PHP Classes and resources supporting dataset site creation, to create something like this example (or any of the other examples listed here).

This package intends to simplify creation of OpenActive Dataset Sites using templates.

For comparison, see the .NET and Ruby implementations.

Please find full documentation that covers creation of the accompanying GitHub issues board at https://developer.openactive.io/publishing-data/dataset-sites.

Requirements

This project requires PHP >=5.6. While most of the functionality should work down to PHP 5.4, some functionality (especially around parsing of offset for DateTimeZone) will not work with that version of PHP (see the DateTimeZone PHP docs for more info).

Composer is also required for dependency management.

This project also makes use of Mustache for rendering the template (installed via Composer).

Usage

Please Note: This instruction are temporary and based on the current development status.

If you are developing this package, go to the Contribution section.

To install from terminal, run:

composer require openactive/dataset-site

Wherever you want to render your Dataset page, include the following instructions:

use OpenActive\DatasetSiteTemplate\TemplateRenderer;

// Render compiled template with data
echo (new TemplateRenderer())->renderSimpleDatasetSite($settings, $supportedFeedTypes);

Where $settings could be defined like the following (as an example):

$settings = array(
    "openDataFeedBaseUrl" => "https://customer.example.com/feed/",
    "datasetSiteUrl" => "https://halo-odi.legendonlineservices.co.uk/openactive/",
    "datasetDiscussionUrl" => "https://github.com/gll-better/opendata",
    "datasetDocumentationUrl" => "https://docs.acmebooker.example.com/",
    "datasetLanguages" => array("en-GB"),
    "organisationName" => "Better",
    "organisationUrl" => "https://www.better.org.uk/",
    "organisationLegalEntity" => "GLL",
    "organisationPlainTextDescription" => "Established in 1993, GLL is the largest UK-based charitable social enterprise delivering leisure, health and community services. Under the consumer facing brand Better, we operate 258 public Sports and Leisure facilities, 88 libraries, 10 children’s centres and 5 adventure playgrounds in partnership with 50 local councils, public agencies and sporting organisations. Better leisure facilities enjoy 46 million visitors a year and have more than 650,000 members.",
    "organisationLogoUrl" => "http://data.better.org.uk/images/logo.png",
    "organisationEmail" => "info@better.org.uk",
    "platformName" => "AcmeBooker",
    "platformUrl" => "https://acmebooker.example.com/",
    "platformSoftwareVersion" => "2.0",
    "backgroundImageUrl" => "https://data.better.org.uk/images/bg.jpg",
    "dateFirstPublished" => "2019-10-28",
);

And $feedTypes could be defined as:

use OpenActive\DatasetSiteTemplate\FeedType;

$feedTypes = array(
    FeedType::FACILITY_USE,
    FeedType::SCHEDULED_SESSION,
    FeedType::SESSION_SERIES,
    FeedType::SLOT,
);

API

renderSimpleDatasetSite($settings, $supportedFeedTypes)

Returns a string corresponding to the compiled HTML, based on the datasetsite.mustache, the provided $settings, and $supportedFeedTypes.

$settings must contain the following keys:

Settings

And $supportedFeedTypes must be an array of FeedType constants, which auto-generates the metadata associated which each feed using best-practice values. See available types

renderSimpleDatasetSiteFromDataDownloads($settings, $dataDownloads, $dataFeedDescriptions)

Returns a string corresponding to the compiled HTML, based on the datasetsite.mustache, the provided $settings, $dataDownloads and $dataFeedDescriptions.

The $dataDownloads argument must be an array of \OpenActive\Models\OA\DataDownload objects, which each describe an available open data feed.

The $dataFeedDescriptions must be an array of strings that describe the dataset, e.g:

$dataFeedDescriptions = array(
    "Sessions",
    "Facilities"
);

renderDatasetSite($dataset)

Returns a string corresponding to the compiled HTML, based on the datasetsite.mustache, and the provided $dataset.

The $dataset argument must be an object of type \OpenActive\Models\OA\Dataset, and must contain the properties required to render the dataset site.

FeedType

A class containing the supported distribution types:

You can use any of the above like this:

use OpenActive\DatasetSiteTemplate\FeedType;

echo FeedType::COURSE_INSTANCE;

Which will output:

CourseInstance

Contribution

Installation

git clone https://github.com/openactive/dataset-site-template-php.git
cd dataset-site-template-php
composer install

Example

From a web server capable of interpreting and compiling PHP, navigate to the /openactive folder.

From there you should be able to see the template populated with the JSON-LD data.

The default mustache template (datasetsite.mustache) is included under the src folder.

In index.php you can find an example of the associative array that's going to get parsed by TemplateRenderer.

Running Tests

PHPUnit 4.8 is used to run tests.

To run the whole suite:

./vendor/bin/phpunit

If you want to run the whole suite in verbose mode:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --verbose

You can also run a section of the suite by specifying the class's relative path on which you want to perform tests:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --verbose tests/Unit/TemplateRendererTest.php

For additional information on the commands available for PHPUnit, consult their documentation
